Arriving late at night or early morning
Several Konkan Railway trains reach Ratnagiri at night or before sunrise. It’s worth arranging your pickup before you board.
Autos can be scarce late at night and Ola/Uber don't run in Ratnagiri, so a booked Ratnagiri railway station taxi is the safe choice.
If you've booked, Nayanish waits for you at the station exit. He doesn't hold a name board, he calls or WhatsApps you when your train arrives, and if it runs late he tracks it and waits.

“Recently, I went on a trip to Marleshwar and Machal with my family through Ovi Tour and Travel, and we had a wonderful experience. We informed them just a day before the trip, but they were very accommodating and arranged everything smoothly. The driver, Mr. Bhatkar, was polite, cooperative and drove very carefully. We felt very comfortable and safe throughout the journey. Overall, it was a smooth and memorable trip. I would definitely recommend them and would love to travel with them again.”
