Kashedi Ghat on NH66 has been hit by two separate landslides in July 2026 (6 July and 15 July), both causing single-lane or one-way traffic near Khed and Poladpur. The IMD issued a fresh red-and-orange alert for the Konkan region on 27 July 2026 as an active monsoon surge moved through the coast. During any live alert, NH48 is the more reliable route; NH66 remains the better scenic choice once conditions settle. Check the current status directly on\u00a0IMD’s Konkan sub-division warning page<\/a>\u00a0and NHAI’s traffic advisories before you leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Konkan coast is one of India’s most rewarding monsoon road-trip regions \u2014 rain fills the rivers, greens the hills, and quiets the coastal villages. But 2026 has been an active monsoon year on this corridor, with two confirmed landslide closures at Kashedi Ghat already and an ongoing NHAI widening project that hasn’t yet reached completion. A safe Konkan monsoon road trip in 2026 depends less on driving fast and more on picking the right highway on the right day, knowing exactly which ghat sections are unstable this season, and checking live alerts before you commit to a route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
