Mumbai to Cape Rama
The coast between Khanderi Island and Cape Rama, about 228 miles SSE, consists of sandy bays separated by bold rocky capes. There are a number of river estuaries and it is often bordered by tableland in the middle of its S part.
The Western Ghats, which are generally from 609 to 904m high, with some peaks nearly 1,524m high, lie like a wall parallel to the coast at an average distance of 30 miles inland.
The Sagargarh Range, S of Kankeshwar (described with Bombay Harbor), has a spur forming two narrow ridges extending W to about 2 miles ENE of Alibag. 
Sagargarh (18°39’N., 72°58’E.), 414m high, and the highest peak of this range, lies about 5 miles E of Alibag. It has a rounded summit and is faced on its S side by high conspicuous cliffs. At the NW end of this range, about 5 miles NW of Sagargarh and 2.5 miles from the coast, are three high bare, and conspicuous peaks. The S of these three is the sharp and conical Parhur, 318m high. Close SE of Sagargarh is a sharp rocky peak, and farther S the range is lower and covered with jungle.
Depths Limitations. Depths in the approach to the coast between Bombay and Cape Rama are fairly deep and clear of dangers, with the exception of Angria Bank.
Angria Bank, with a least depth of 20.1m in 16°43’N., 72°03E., lies about 65 miles off the coast, and is composed of sand, shells, and coral. The bank is steep-to on all sides, with great depths surrounding it. The tidal currents set NE across the bank during the flood and SW with the ebb, with a velocity of about 1 knot in spring tides.
A volcanic disturbance was reported observed (1949) in an area about 100 miles SW of Angria Bank. Vessels should approach this area with caution.
Caution. Between Khanderi Island and Boria Point, about 80 miles SSE, fishing stakes and logs are liable to be encountered in depths up to 22m.
Cape Rama to Karwar Bay
Cape Rama (15°05’N., 73°55’E.) projects 1 mile W from Rama False Bluff, which rises abruptly E of the tableland of Cape Rama to a height of about 200m. The land then rises gradually E in a succession of hills for a distance of 4 miles and terminates in East Peak, 448m high. Kankon (Kanakona) Peak, 643 m high, about 9 miles ESE of Cape Rama, is the W summit of a range of hills extending E, and is separated from East Peak by a gap.
Cape Rama is prominent and has a fort on it, but during the thick weather of the SW monsoon no part of this coast is visible for more than 4 or 5 miles. Good radar returns have been reported from Cape Rama at 16 miles. Pandigat (Paidegal) Point, about 5.5 miles SE of Cape Rama, is a steep projecting headland rising to an height of 192m; a village is situated on its N side. Kankon Islet, fringed by a reef, lies about 2 miles farther SE.
