Places to Visit in Goa

DUDHSAGAR WATERFALLS

Located at the Goa-Karnataka border, it is 60km from Panaji. Its name is derived from the Kokani name for the falls, Dudhsagar- which means Sea of Milk. Springing from a height of 600 meters, the speedy surge of water develops a frothy look, falling from majestic heights. The best time to visit would be post-monsoon if you want to dip yourself in some aqua adventure.

An ideal destination for a lonesome getaway is the Arvalem waterfall. With an altitude of 70 feet, it is about 2 kilometers from Sanquelim in Valpoi Taluka, North Goa. The falls look magnificent with a thunderous gush of water flowing down the rocky terrain. Treat yourself to bird-watching, as the picturesque site takes your breath away.

MAHADEVA TEMPLE

If you thought Goa is only about churches, you must visit the Mahadeva temple at Tambi Surla, located 65 kilometers from Panaji, visit this place to discover other side of sunny Goa. The perfectly proportioned, beautifully carved black basalt temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva. We recommend you pay a visit before dawn, only to experience the first rays of the sun falling on the deity.
