This is one of the less crowded beaches, situated at the southern end of Goa. Even during travel season of New Year. Famous by the name of turtle beach. One can enjoy a relaxing stay near by and can enjoy the local Konkani food.

This beach is located in Southern part if Goa around 20 min away from Canacona.You can take the vehicles near the beach. This beach is very beautiful and during off season you will find hardly any people here.

Best place for those who prefer very little to no crowd. I never thought i would see a beach in goa with literally not more than 4-5 people..Went for a beach sidewalk during the sunset and it was amazing just to hear the waves rattling sound amidst the peaceful surroundings..There are no beach side shacks nor any eateries and no water sports and that's y people don't prefer this place..

If you would love some peace of mind in Goa, then this is one beach which is secluded and calmer. Very clean and well maintained. Please do not litter this beach as it was heartwarming to see such a clean beach in India

One of the most beautiful beach of Goa.There is back waters here… if you want to swim there you can do it.We went during sun set. Loved this place.It was very calm and peaceful.It was very less Crowded…good to have peaceful time.One of the most picturesque beaches of Goa.Definitely recommend this place to visit.

The most surreal beach, hidden gem.Least bit explored.Santosh restaurant as the name suggests is all about happiness and contentment.South end of the beach connects with the backwaters clad with few local fishing boats. The beach and the backwaters offer a divine experience to swim with the waves or without or just take a walk and enjoy the quiet.

One of the cleanest beaches in south goa. You can watch both Sunrise(chill with vitamin D) and a fabulous sunset here without any rush. Here you can find no people and some localities will be walking with the dogs. This beach is highly recommended for chilling and jogging. Kindly don't throw the plastics and beer bottles after having them. You can witness the beauty of the beach in the pictures and videos attached with the review!

Unexplored and beautiful beach. Go there at sunset time. You will love the view, but it's very far from main Goa but it's worth going there

Very nice beach, famous for turtle nesting (though we could not see the turtles). It must be one of the cleanest beaches of India, and the sand there is very soft to touch.

It is an extremely beautiful and secluded beach. I highly recommend going if you are looking so for some peace and quiet. You are going to get a beautiful sunset. So do plan on visiting in the evening. The beach is extremely clean with almost no one visiting this place. Since since turtle, nesting happens, here, there are no shacks or vendors present at the beach. That means it is extremely clean. We can spot starfishes and many kind of shells at the beach. Remember to carry water bottle or snacks because there are none at the beach.

Very silent and soothing beach in south goa. this is one of the unique beaches where river meets sea. Perfect place to enjoy sunrise and sunset as its not at all crowded place.5 km from palolem beach.

Beautiful beach with scenic view. It's very clean and maintained very well. It's the one of the beaches where you can find the Olive ridely turtles nesting. You get to see them here during their nesting period. The new highway connects you to this beach as real quick. Highly recommended.

Superb beach in south goa... try to reach at evening and enjoy sunset 🌇.... you also see here one side sweet water river and one side salt water 🌊 sea...

This beach, located near the southernmost tip of Goa, is incredibly peaceful and secluded. The beach has been carefully developed to ensure the conservation of its natural beauty and serve as a safe haven for Olive Ridley turtles to lay their eggs.

Very row beach in South goa, there no such restaurant and any facilities, most of the people visit this beach for turtle 🐢, if you want to show turtle the December to march is the vest time.

One of the best peaceful silent beach in Goa with hardly 10 peoples are on the beach. Currently there are no shacks there. Those who don’t like to prefer crowded beach, it’s place for them.

A very beautiful and peaceful beach in South Goa. Also, Galgibaga Beach is popular for turtle nesting during the winter season. The beach is very clean, and so is the seawater. You can take a bath anytime during the day and beach security will keep a close eye to ensure safety. A must-visit beach for visitors to South Goa.

This beach is fascinating! The views are spectacular and the sunset is magnificent. A must visit for anyone in south Goa. The waters are nice and not too rough to swim. Coupled with the fact that this beach is away from the mainland makes it very serene without all the peddlers on other beaches. Good selection of bars and restaurants on the beach to enjoy a good night. Not too crowded, one can chill, and have a beer, and enjoy the evenings. Several cafes and bars available by the beach too.Car parking available near the beach entrance, and lots of beach stay options available around the entire beach periphery. At the end of the beach line, you can find rocks where one can hike to the other end and even find better and cheaper rooms and stays. If you are in South Goa, this place is definitely a must.

It’s huge and lots of good places to eat nearby. The beach is clean and you can go for boating, during monsoon all the water activities were closed. But you can still enjoy a walk on the soft sand.

Very cool and calm beach. Safe because of no immediate depth in sea water and also waves are not tidy. As most visitors prefer north Goa, crowd always be less. But rates for accommodation, food and services are little bit costly compared to North Goa.

Such a pretty beach! It's a combination of blue, green and golden that makes this beach so pretty. The hills on the sides and the golden sand make this beach my favourite photography spot. During a low tide, usually in the evening we can walk across to the mangrove side and nearer to the reefs. I really enjoyed my stay here because this place has some good shacks, shopping experience and less crowds compared to central Goa. The beach also extends into the mangrove by the river making it a great spot for boating and bird watching. The nearby beaches are also lovely. Visit Cola, Agonda and Majorda beaches as well while you are there.

One of the most beautiful beaches in South goa. Clean . The crowd is too good. Boating and kayaking is available to enjoy . We spent our afternoon here and really enjoyed the serenity of the beach

It's one of the most beautiful beaches in Goa. This beach is surrounded by mountains. It has very clean water and is the perfect place for swimming. Kids can enjoy it here and it's safe for kids. You must go on a boat ride from here. Also you can try kayaking here. Do not miss sunset at this beach.

Clean beach , not so stiff sea shore , the sea water is too clear .Good place to relax . You can enjoy kayaking , boating , they will take you to near by points such as monkey Island , butterfly beach ,

😍🥰🏖️My best beach experience...it was so serene and beautiful. Not too commercial. It was a real vacation with no disturbance.Crowd was decent enough.One of the cleanest beaches in South Goa.There are some good places to eat at the main Street that takes you to the beach, 🌊fewer hotels or shaks on the actual beach though.The place has been less crowded since covid, but the people have still maintained the beach.✨I would recommend to visit the beach at evening. The only thing may put your mood off is the constant poking to visit the butterfly beach.😌💞Beautiful, serene and clean beach. Resorts on the beach line are pretty good. You can do kayaking at reasonable price. You can also go for boat rides to butterfly beach , dolphin site seeing and birdwatching at backwaters.❤️

We visited this beach in Goa for the first time and loved it the most. It is less crowded compared to north Goa beaches.There is changing rooms and shower option near beach. Good shacks and many water sports available. We did kayaking and boat visit to butterfly beach and honeymoon beach and it was a good experience. As part of boat service, they will just show butterfly beach sitting in the boat and let you get down in honeymoon beach. Both beaches are just casual small beaches, speciality is the boat ride experience.

This beach is one of the best beaches of South Goa. It has beautiful views from both left to right. On the left stands the hills and on the right side the sea water enters the land by creating a mangrove backwater in which boating is being done. The beach is clean on the left side but on the right side few narrow canals flow down and mix with the sea so it's a bit dirty. A large number of boats are present on the beach which are used for fishing during morning. Few shacks are present but not on the beach they are located just outside the beach as the water during high tide reaches the walls.

Very clean and flat Beach..... It is very good for families to enjoy the beach ..... Kids can play without any fear ..... for shopping a lot of options are there near the beach ...... only one problem is parking...... Very small roads ......

It seems like an international beach. It is a must to visit the beach.None of the North Goa beaches or even South Goa beaches stand anywhere. This beach has a very different vibe.One can do Kayaking here. This is a flat and very clean beach.

Beach is amazing and peaceful (excluding weekends).Public toilet is good and tales UPI also.However, after 9.30pm, guy stops taking UPI and only cash.

One of the most popular beach in South Goa which is very scenic and calm.It is close to the honeymoon beach and butterfly beach for which one can hire kayak from here.Palolem has plenty options for food and many shacks are there along shoreline.

Very pretty though a really small beach. The color of the sea water is mesmerising at times. The downside is that the beach is way too crowded for its size and not even one decent shack (cleanliness, wi fi, air conditioning, food, co*cktails are all a hit or a miss affair) to stay in. The music gets too loud in the evenings. And on weekends you have to avoid bumping into others while walking on the beach.

Amazing and serene beach in South Goa. The vibes here are so relaxing and soothing that you'll forget all your worries. Do not miss the sunset if you're visiting Palolem Beach as it has one of the best sunset views. ❤️There's plenty of parking space available and the market near beach is energetic and lively.

This is most definitely my favourite place, the beach is clean and very beautiful. Lots of restaurants along the beach to choose from, quiet and chilled. Lots of kayaking very fun to watch as well as having a go yourself. Great for morning walks and sunset co*cktails 🍹

Definitely I wanted this...I wanted a perfect Beach Holiday, free from all troubles... amidst Nature and solitude... amidst friends and families. South Goa gave me that chance....but still something was missing. Then I found You PALOLEM🩵😍...and immediately my vacation become perfect🥺 my search for That something become complete.You, PALOLEM🩵, is not just a beach...you are a complete lifestyle.... carefully carefree... scenic yet modern, solitary yet always available, natural 🥀🍀yet very much worldly, you are Beauty Incarnate. And what a beauty you offer...long stretches of golden yellow sand, even ebb and flow of the Arabian Sea, all round greenery, long line of coconut trees and a blissful perfect solitude...just amazing. You can easily compete with any foreign beaches... probably that's why foreigners are more than the Indians.

It’s a good beach and one of the main attractions in south Goa, it’s almost 2 hrs normal drive from Panjim with beautiful landscape in between.But people need to be careful and should maintain cleanlinessIt’s directly connected to road and have enough parking space ( given moderate crowd).You’ll also get to see lot many general stores and restaurants beside beach, so you can have anything or can purchase things required and have decent hotels nearby.

The beach is spread quite big. So, it feels less crowded. There are atleast 50 beach shacks. It is a clean beach. You get all adventure sports like parasailing, kayaking, speed boating etc. The water is shallow for almost 100 mtrs from beach. So, many kids are left unattended. Waves are at right force. Very good place to spend time with family or friends

Very clean and peaceful beach of South Goa. The water level is not too deep. Perfect for swimming for all age groups.Lots of restaurants, beach cottages and shopping options available on and near the beach. It's definitely safe to spend some time from evening till mid-night with friends and family

It's a most popular, nice, clean, sea beach in South Goa. Sunset view is wonderful. This place is not too much crowded.Several hotels with restaurants are there at Beachside area. You can spend good time here with good food, drinks and music. Nightlife is amazing.You can get boat for Butterfly Beach from here. You can do Kayaking also. Parking facility is there at outside.

simply wonderful experience and a lot of joy in my two nights Stay on this lovely farm. Staff members were so professional and kind that we learn a lot while having a good time in the activities. rooms just beautiful and clean and soaked in the greenery of the jungle.Food beverage and the farm shop are all greatTotally recommended it and am grateful for the experience.

We went on day trip to spice farm. Staff was very humble. They serve only veg for lunch which was delicious. Would definitely recommend. You have to dribe through the jungle which was a really cool drive.

We had a great time! We learned a lot (about plants, spices, insects, and animals) the food was great, my daughter had fun playing with the cats, the staff was extremely nice and knowledgeable, and nice products are sold at the entrance. And the drive there is in such a beautiful landscape!

Amazing tour of the farm, very informative about spice history and organic farming. Our Tour guide was fantastic and very knowledgeable, interesting stories with good wit.Beautiful farm and enjoyed a tasty lunch.

Our experience was the most peaceful, rejuvenating, and much needed. Chinmayi was excellent as a host along with his wife. The food was delicious, with everything homegrown and super healthy. I bought a lot of spices and food items from them to bring back home. If you want to explore another side of Goa that's in the forests rather than the beach, do visit. Loved it ❤️

Absolutely one of the highlights of our Goa trip. We were served a delicious, healthy lunch and then learnt so much about spice farming. It was also great to be able to purchase the spices directly. Would definitely recommend visiting!

We had a delicious home cooked lunch. Followed by a tour of their spice plantation. It was a great experience. Gowri showed us around and we had a great conversation about the various spices.

Our family had a great day at the Tanshikar Spice Farm, in March 2023. It took about an hour to drive here from Patnem beach, where we were staying. Lots of beautiful scenery on the drive. The Spice Farm helped us arrange a guided hike through Netravali Wildlife Sanctuary, which was a highlight of our vacation. Our guide was great! Then we had a delicious meal at the Spice Farm. Our boys were tired out, and we didn't finish the tour of the farm, but the farm was beautiful, green, and the staff were friendly and helpful. It was great to see some of rural Goa, away from the bustle of the beach towns. Highly recommended.

This was one of our highlights while travelling India. The host was so knowledgeable and informative and we learned so much about the local herbs and spices that Indians use to keep healthy. I 100% recommend taking a visit here if you are staying anywhere nearby

Regardless of if you are an Indian or a foreigner, this place is a must visit. The host was so calm and absolutely not rushed. She also gave us a glimpse of their ancient mud home. We are very thankful for that.It costs RS. 600 and you are given a tour of various spice plants and are explained about their growth and harvest. The price also includes a home cooked meal which was delicious. This was my fourth visit to a spice plantation and I am always intrigued to know more. An absolute photo fest for the enthusiast.

We had a nice day at the farm.We did the Tour with the owner, He explained everything very well, everyone was super friendly.The food was very good.We also bought some Spikes for reasonable prices.I can truely recommend this place!We did not stay overnight, so I cannot say anything about the rooms.

This is a wonderful place to visit with the owners taking you on a tour of how the different spices are grown in the middle of the jungle using each plant and the natural support system provided by the other plants and the environment to create a natural ecological system for growing spices. The guide was an expert in his subject and his English was excellent and his Hebrew was pretty good too. Also recommend the delicious lunch they serve and the friendly atmosphere. Not to miss if you are in South Goa

We did not stay here but attended the spice farm tour. Lots of knew knowledge and interesting facts. At the end of the tour we got to try their locally sourced indian cuisines. Extremely tasty😋 and highly recommended as an experience.

It's a well maintained family run spice farm and worth the visit specially during the rainy season. The host is very informative and will give you many facts that one may not know. Local buffet lunch was served which was decent.Remember they aim for a self sustainable lifestyle so for some who put down negative comments probably expected luxury.

My husband and I stayed overnight at the spice plantation and had a wonderful time. The staff were very kind, friendly and attentive. We went on a trek through netravali and enjoyed the spice tour very much. The food was excellent and we loved the little bungalow we stayed at. It was surrounded by nature and was very romantic. Would definitely commend what chinmay and his staff are doing and recommend it to anyone who loves nature.

The Spice farm is located about an hour’s drive from the south Goan beaches and well worth the trip. The buffet style food is wonderful and varied. Let them know if you want non-veg in advance.A group of us stayed for a couple of days to celebrate a birthday. The rooms are clean, and some have air-conditioning. There are quite a few different houses/rooms ranging from a traditional mud house with four rooms to more modern huts/houses. There is a lovely spring fed pool to swim and cool off in as well, so bring your bathing suit.I took the tour of approximately 1 ½ hours with Chinmay, the 3rd generation owner of the spice farm and a fountain of information. The love and care he and his family put into this organic spice farm is evident. It is wonderful to see and learn about many of the spices that we may take for granted in our kitchen. I recommend either a day trip or a stay.

Amazing place for adventure in Goa. The beach is very good. The water is clean and looks bluish green. A trek of 45 mins from the parking is worth it, but you can take your bikes to the very end of trek. Climbing rocks is fun.The water is not ideal to go in as the slope is quite steep.The beach gets crowded very soon due to tourists coming by boats from Agonda and Palolem as early as 7:30 am. Lot of mess also has been created on the beach due to garbage and bottles.Overall a pretty good place to visit. But overcrowding decreases it's beauty

Butterfly beach is the perfect place to catch sunset or even take a swim. The water is beautiful and the waves sounds heavenly.It's a great place to watch the sunset and wind up your day when you get tired. Very peaceful and relaxing.

Butterfly Beach in South Goa is like a secret paradise. It has beautiful ocean views, green hills, and amazing sunsets. This beach is very quiet and peaceful, so it's great for people who want a relaxing break. But it's not easy to get to, and there aren't many facilities. Still, if you love nature and want a calm and special place by the sea, Butterfly Beach is a hidden treasure you'll always remember.

Breathtaking views. one of the most beautiful and memorable sunsets of my life.Definitely a must visit place for nature lovers.Trek is not so difficult, or else there is off-roading jeep available in that place.There is a cafe near the parking area .

Amongst beautiful beaches of south Goa, but as usual we being are ruining the beauty.Will take time to reach here from the parking lot, you need to hire a monster keep or scooter to reach the butterfly beach 🏝️

Small portion of beach accessible via boat or by Trek is beautiful. Usually by boat you get around 30min to enjoy. Sometime get to sight dolphin

It is one of the most captivating places in Goa with breathtakingly beautiful views and aquatic life. Apart from its' exceptional shape, the beach is known for the acrobatics of the dolphins around the beach and millions of butterflies flying over the hilltop.As the name suggests, Butterfly beach is the abode of numerous beautiful butterflies. But what the name doesn't tell us is that during low tides, when the seashore widens, the beach is littered with crabs and goldfishes. Sea urchins, sea cucumbers, and even redfish are common sights here. The beach cannot be accessed by buses, cars or bikes as it is surrounded by a dense forest.You can reach Butterfly beach by boat from Palolem or Agonda beaches. A boat ride costs around INR 1000-1200 (to and fro). You must keep in mind that during monsoon season boating to Butterfly beach is not possible. Butterfly Beach is a secluded beach, which can be reached from Agonda Beach by hiking 10 km through dense jungle.And nobody can stay in beach but you have to be aware of the crowd at night as per my experience Baga, Calangute and Anjuna are way safer and crowed as compared to other beaches. So make sure the place where you were thinking to stay at night has enough crowd. The best time to plan a visit to Butterfly beach is from November to March. You can enjoy the beach to its’ fullest as the weather is pleasant during these months. During the low tide period, you can witness sea urchins, redfish, goldfish, and sea cucumbers at Butterfly Beach.Imagine the magnificence of a sight where millions of butterflies are harboring over the beach and dolphins are playing at the shore of the beach. Remember that Monsoons are a bad time to visit the Butterfly Beach because all the routes to reach the beach will be blocked during this time.Things to Carry At Butterfly Beach:Picnic Basket:As we mentioned that the Butterfly beach is a secluded place, if you plan on spending long hours here, it would be a smart idea to carry a picnic basket with some snacks, water bottles and eatables as you won’t be able to find any shops nearby.A Blanket:If you are planning to visit in the Winters, make sure you carry a blanket to the Butterfly Beach. It gets a little windy and you can always have a warm and cozy time while curling up at the beach.Sunglasses and Sunscreen:While visiting the Butterfly Beach during the early hours of the day, it is highly recommended that you carry your sunglasses and sunscreen to stay protected from direct sunlight.

The route to the beach is ideal for a two wheeler only, four wheelers have to be parked a few kms before the beach and you’ll have to walk down the trail.The view from the beach is beautiful but since morning the ferry’s start coming to the shore and release a lot of smoke which is such a turn off.Hence, visiting this beach before 7am is recommended.

Beautiful beach. Wish I had some drone shots😍. You can truly see the beauty when u are far.Mist visit while in South Goa along with that combine some activities. See video for details.

This is one of the best beach in south Goa. While on the beach, you will feel like in Thailand. The water is green and clear. Try to reach by riding scooty + trekking and spend at least 2 hours there. By reaching through boats will only give you five minutes to enjoy this beautiful beach.

This Butterfly beach is mostly calm and serene. The water here is translucent and greenish in colour. The beach is enclosed by thick forest on one side and open sea on the other side. This beach has a unique and picturesque landscape. This hidden gem is situated north of Palolem beach. There is small route leading up to a big rock from the beachside, from where the view is awesome. Be sure to enjoy this outstanding view. You can either trek through the forest, through the off beaten path, to reach the beach or take a boat trip from other side. Either way this is a must visit beach in South Goa. It is the most romantic beach in Goa, set in beautiful green waters.As the name suggests, butterfly beach is home to numerous butterflies. When the trees on the hillside near the beach bloomed, you can spot a number of butterflies. It is also reputed for dolphin sightings too. And since beach is more or less remote and less crowded, you can enjoy without much noises.

It is a very nice experience to trail in the morning the view is very nice and you can even spot some monkeys and verifies of birds and at the end the view of the opening entrance of the beach is so amazing.

Butterfly Beach is a serene spot accessible by boat and trekking. The journey is part of the adventure, leading to a tranquil beach surrounded by nature. Perfect for those seeking a peaceful escape with beautiful views.

It is small beach and you need to walk around 1.5km to reach there . You can drive bike but you need to professional rider as it is bit difficult.You can take bike boat ride from beach to see dolphin and other points..Should visit if you are in South Goa

A pretty good place to visit. The beach is very good. The water is clean and looks bluish green. A trek of 2km from the parking is worth it. Don’t take your bikes to very end.Garbage and bottles decrease its beauty.

Amazing beach with dreamy view. Not crowded too much. You can reach by car but at some point after that you've to reach by trekking. It will almost take 30-40 mins by trek. If short in time, you can reach by bike upto the beach & it is more than enough ahead from the car parking point. If you are planning to visit Goa you shoud definitely go here. A great jungle trail experience.

This beach is my favourite in Goa. Perfect time to visit this place is early morning. Beautiful and worth the efforts. Crowd is less in morning and will be able to enjoy this place more.

The best view comes with the hardest climbs. This is true for this place. It's a very small beach in South goa with a view that the beach is surrounded by rocks and mountains. To reach this place we have to walk almost 2 km or will have to pay for a jeep. There are small shops that sell drinking water. We had taken our scooter till where the jeeps would leave us. I suggest going there with a full tank.

One of the most beautiful beach in Goa.Must visit beach when you are in south Goa.Before visiting the beach you may watch some YouTube blogs for ideas regarding how to reach beach side.Little confusion on bike parking but you may counsel to locals.

Butterfly Beach falls short of the hype. A small beach requiring a 2km walk, the view doesn't justify the 25-minute trek. Littered with beer bottles, it's a good beach but considerably overrated. The scenic disappointment with scattered litter diminishes the overall appeal. While Butterfly Beach has potential, its current state and the lengthy walk make it less appealing than anticipated.

Private jeeps are the only way to go up. They are always on tight schedule and will give you only 90 min of time at water fall after reaching at parking place. 90 min is sufficient if you want to do some photography. But if you are a swimmer then negotiate the extra time charge in advance.

Dudhsagar Falls in Goa is a breathtaking natural wonder that leaves visitors in awe. The majestic cascade of white water plunging down from a height creates a mesmerizing spectacle. The falls are surrounded by lush greenery, adding to the pristine beauty of the location. The sight and sound of the gushing water create a sense of tranquility and serenity. While the journey to Dudhsagar Falls can be adventurous, the destination is well worth it. Whether you choose to admire the falls from a distance or take a refreshing dip in its pools, Dudhsagar Falls offers a memorable and enchanting experience for nature lovers.

When we went here few years, we had only option to get the train, if we miss then need to walk to main station to catch the trains. Lot had improved now after many visitors are reaching here. We can bath at downside of the fall with trekking. No shops where there before but now we have it. Lot improved now. Great experience.

Haven on the earth, amazing natural beauty, you should never miss a chance to visit this place. I assure you will be filled with joy and adventure after reaching this place.The safari ride will thrill you by it's adventure.Good job the forest team to maintain the place clean and respectful.Please don't remove your life jacket if you're entering in to falls as I could be dangerous because of its depth.

It’s a journey to get here and you should count at least 4 hours for this trip (excluding the journey from the hotel to the park entrance which in our case took 2 hours in each direction from our hotel in north Goa)Overall we left the hotel at 7am and returned at 4pmGetting the mandatory Jeep to go in the track to reach the waterfall is a very disorganized process (it takes roughly 30 minutes and cost 700rs + 40rs for life jacket) / we heard that you can skip this part by booking online.Once in the Jeep, count 30-45 minutes to get through the checkpoint (100rs for government) and reach the Jeep parking.Then around 10 minutes walk (difficult for kids and old people) to cross very natural places before reaching the waterfalls.You can swim in the waterfalls, it’s clean and safe.Not recommended for solo women travelers.

The trek is a bit hectic (around 14 kms one way) but it’s totally worth it. The view is breathtaking. If you like watching water falling over rocks, it’s definitely a place to check out.

Gifted place. You cannot ride to the falls, stop the car at the jeep taxi stand and book the jeep online. Link will be provided at the place. Rs. 25 per person for registration, kids above age 5 to be considered as adults. This registration copy to be shown at the counter to get a jeep driver. One jeep will carry only 7 passengers. You need to pay 500 per head for jeep safari, additional 300 including the life jacket (mandatory) and forest entrance fees.Ride to the falls is awesome. You will get almost an hour time at the falls. Have to be careful while walking over the slippery rocks 🪨. Mobiles must kept inside a plastic cover or carry it very carefully. Wear the life jacket and you can swim in the water. Water will be very cold and it’s an awesome experience there. Carry swim suits or spare dress to enjoy the bath.

Dudhsagar Waterfall is a breathtaking natural wonder that left me in awe during my recent visit. The sheer size and power of the waterfall are simply mesmerizing. The cascading water looks like a frothy river of milk, hence the name "Dudhsagar," which means "Sea of Milk" in Hindi.The lush green surroundings and the dense forest add to the charm of this place, making it a paradise for nature enthusiasts and photographers. The journey to reach the waterfall, whether by train or trekking, is an adventure in itself, with stunning views of the Goan countryside.The only downside to this popular tourist destination is the crowd. It can get quite crowded, especially during the peak season, which takes away from the tranquility of the place. However, if you can time your visit during the off-peak hours, you'll have a more peaceful experience.Overall, Dudhsagar Waterfall is a must-visit for anyone exploring the natural beauty of Goa. It's a sight to behold and a great escape from the bustling beaches and nightlife of the region.

A wonderful natural beauty.This is a very unique scenario where you can see waterfalls, hilly rivers, deep forest and railway tracks in between deep forest. You can take a Jeep ride from Kulem to visit this waterfall. The water is very clear and the atmosphere is very peaceful and pleasant in nature. You can take a deep breath and chill in here. Fresh air and fresh water.You can visit from November to February for the best experience. Water is around 20 meters deep at the falling point. A life jacket is must to visit this waterfall.

Dudhsagar Falls Iconic Place ✨️1st Of All You Need A Booking Of Car For Water Fall 11 Km From Fall.The Car Is For Only 6 People.Water Fall Water Is Such Good And Fresh.There Are Too Many Fishes Around You When You Entered In Water.The Fall Is Too Fast.Life jacket Is Cool all Though.There Are lifeguards Too.💯% recommend Place.There Are A Waiting Area Too Before Entering the Fall.They Give U some Introduction For Fall And Animals.I Uploaded photos Of Statues Of AnimalAnd some Introduction Of the House

Very hyped falls, with less stream and water. Approaching road inside forest is bumpy, not a tar road takes around 45 minutes to reach followed by 10 to 15 min walk. 640 per head- 500 ticket, 100 to forest entry, 40 life jacket or 3500 for a vehicle. Railway track is there. Water is deep and cold. Overall ok.

One of the wonderful water falls in India...one should visit this place in your lifetime..the trekking experience is good and after the trekk when we reach the falls...the beauty of falls and the aura is once in a lifetime experience..If you want the real beauty of the waterfall.. u must visit in monsoon season..

Stunning view!!One of the best places to visit in South Goa. We came here in the off season. Had a small hike to make it to here. But it was all worth it. The waterfall is is a huge one and shipped like heart. You can also see it from the train but we decided to get down in Kulem station to do a small hike. The hike it self was amazing.

Breath taking view when you arrive there. I would absolutely recommend a visit if you are in India and Goa. Make sure you arrive early as there is a limit to how many Jeeps can go there in a day. Swimming in the water is a must after a hot trek but get ready for crowded and quite tight rocky shore. Water is deep.Also be careful with any food as monkey are there to steal it then they litter around with food wrappings juice boxes etc. They can get quite aggressive.

Make sure to visit this place in the early morning . Morning is the best time to reach there with view as well as to avoid long queues, otherwise you will end up waiting in queue while sitting in your vehicle. Don't carry any food inside the waterfall otherwise you'll have to share it with monkeys. In Jeep Safari I had an experience where a monkey suddenly came up for food and was sitting with me inside the Jeep.For a ticket you need to do an online booking and then to book for Jeep from there with life jacket charge. There is also a separate jungle entry fee, so it is better to keep your card handy for the payment.

One must visit this waterfall if you are visiting Goa. The milky white water flows with gush which is a treat to eyes. it is wise to visit this waterfall in Goa, after the monsoon, between October to February.If you want to swim in the Dudhsagar River at the base of the falls, do it only with a life jacket. Bathing in the monsoon is not recommended when the water flows with great force. There are no cloakrooms / lockers to store luggage near the falls.Note: Be aware of monkeys and dont feed them.

* Beautiful place which is connected to nature, green everywhere.* This place has pure oxygen, which relaxes your body and energies your body* Beautiful view of mountains and clouds will relax your eyes* Water here is very clear, and which can charge you with its natural minirals* This place is surrounded by many trees of different types and jungle and animals

Terrible place. Only about mass tourism. Hundreds of white jeeps entering and exiting the park, driving the exact same route. No nature to see, no animals (scared away by thousands of shouting tourists). No possibility of entering the park without having to book a tour in a white jeep, which takes away from all chances of seeing animals or nature.Not worth going at all

We went here for a trek to Dudhsagar falls. Easy 12kms trek that'll take 2-3 hours each way. Lovely forest. Good wildlife.

There is a very dense forest, it is a very beautiful place, but people who go there to eat, party or have a picnic, leave all the garbage there and go back to their home, then you will find a lot of garbage everywhere, so this one The biggest minus point is this beautiful jungle .otherwise this place is very beautiful

दूधसागर waterfall tourist travels towards Madgaon station can view this place from train in there iternary.

Nice place to visit, fantastic waterfall. Monkeys can be a bit fiesty. Not too difficult to walk from the parking area as long as you're not unsteady on your feet. People with walking difficulties may have problems. Not the season to see the elephants when we visited.

I'm a loca guide in this village and i take people for tracking . It's really amazing place wher people can enjoy have fun and explore the jungle and admire the beauti of western ghats.

While I have been to Doodhsagar falls a couple of times, this time we decided to go on a trek. A total of 12 kilometres from the gate to waterfalls, it was an awesome experience in the morning. Walking through the forest, if you are a nature person, then I bet you will enjoy the early mornings. All is good until you have walk back 12 kms .. it was not at all fun to walk back in the scorching sun ... Yet it was fine .. overall an unique experience.

An must visit waterfall in Goa India, we can go railway track to reach... It's around 14kms via track, and through jungle its around 9-10kms but you should hire an Guide with you, you'll be not allowed inside the jungle without the guide.

Additionally, the presence of excellent restaurants makes it a perfect spot for a romantic candlelight dinner.

Not too crowded and spent almost half of the day with peaceful and calm nature. Beach was so clean. But the shacks are bit overpriced.

Very quiet beach in South Goa. Many water sports are there but since we visited at the beginning of monsoon, all activities were closed down.

Nice and clean beach!! But if you want to spend more time in the water, see that u reach there well before sunset. Coz after that you won't be allowed to swim.

It's a peaceful beach without much of a crowd. Small fishing boats add to the beauty of the beach. I had the chance to help one of the boats come on shore, it was a cool experience.

Awesome experience on this beach. It's vast on both sides and white sand. Clear water and huge waves.. I enjoyed with my daughter and husband 💓

clean water n beach good for jogging in the morning...

Clean , non crowded beach we have seen till date.. Probably we were there in Oct end. We spent couple of days at Benaulim Beach. I also did two runs at the beach and its around 3 kms to colva Beach .We would recommend if you are looking for a beach to spend time with family & kids.. Its very safe since the beach front is flat for more than 50 meters. Its more of a quite place to relax and rather noisy party place. There are two good shacks on this beach which we tried- Malibu & Pedro shack. They serve the best sea food plus they have a wide range of beer collection. They also arrange for fresh towels, have wash rooms/changing rooms etc.

Very nice beach to hangout with family and friends. There are many beach facing restaurants. Happening beach. You can have tasty food and drinks on the beach enjoying the sunset .

Fine On the Go Location , you will find ur need for the moment , city vibe is pleasant 🌟

WowwwweA lady on entering the market showed us the wayAmazing shops n spices.Worth a wandering in the lanes.

Nice work doneCovered the old tattoo very well .An Extremely professional and hardworking tattoo artist! He’ll customize and create any design you desire. I feel good to here in tattoo underworld studio

Visited just to experience the local market. Enjoyed our walk through the maze of small lanes in the market. Most stuff is what you'll get in any town market - clothes, shoes, decoratives, etc. with few local traditional stalls every now n then. Ended up buying some local spices and Goan eatables. Any market gives the pulse of the city it's in and this definitely does not disappoint.

Old fashioned market where practically everything from vegetables to utensils to cloth to snacks are available. Crowded. A cheerful place. And everything seemed cheaper than in more modern parts of Goa.I am new to Goa and this old fashioned was a pleasant surprise.

Market is around municipal corporation office, Margoa. Market has , alleys full of wholesale shops. Bargaining is on and marketing here is fun. Got bamboo baskets and good tea powder.

No matter how mature and independent you think you are, if your going for the first time Please take a parent along😬I got lost 3 time's🥲Anyways really good for bulk shopingBest pricesOkay okay qualityExcept that the Market is very congested, and dirtyAnd during the rains it rains more inside the market than outside so yh watch out for thatOn the whole good place for buying stuff at a wholesale rate. Almost every comodity is available for really good prices.

Goa famous for beaches , Temple and shopping. The best place to shop for cashew, spices, accessories for ladies and gents, Goan masala, bangles, slippers, clothes, puja material, sweets and snacks, ladies clothes available under one roof. You can get at cheap price by using bargaining skills.

A Goan trip is never complete without shopping in Margao. The best place to shop for lingis, bebinca, spices, accessories, Goan masala, slippers, clothes, Goan sweets etc. Use your bargaining skills for better prices!!

Bustling marketplace. Really amazed to see the different shops with a variety of objects for sale. Got some pretty good bargains that we didn't get anywhere else in South Goa. It's like a small maze. Lost our way inside a few times. But the shopping experience was fun and memorable

The perfect tattoo studio. Good work.Go get yours ! ❤️

Best place to get everything for a cheap price. You can find a lot of shops inside and outside the market.We reached goa rented a scooty and bought all our dresses and stuff from here.

This market is so well zoned. It's very easy to find what you want. Best place for groceries

As a tourist, this place was a whole new experience for me. There were so many different kinds of shops selling so many different things was a sight to see. This is a local market where both the locals and tourists shop so the prices over here are much less compared to other places. You get almost everything here from the famous and rare Goan spices, different types of jaggery, freshly baked cookies and biscuits, clothes, jewellery, chocolates and the best quality cashews at the cheapest rate in all of South Goa.

It is a big market in Margao city. Where you get all items at one place at a reasonable price. Only drawback is that you don't get parking easily for 2 wheelers and taking a 4 wheeler will be a big mistake as there is no parking

Great Market Margao and a adventure with the Bus)

It's an amazing place to find daily grocery items, accessories, medicines and other homemade products of meat, spices, incense, flowers, etc. It also has a number of famous brands selling cloth material. It's also surrounded by delicious food serving restaurants and cafes.

Anything & everything under one place. Lot of options, variety and very reasonable rates. Market is clean & tidy with lot of parking spaces for two wheelers. Four wheelers is a bit problem. You name it & you will get it here.

The Market that has many shops under one roof. Every item is available at reasonable rates. Bargaining is neccesary. Its like a maze of shops. You can compare the rates too.

Great Indian experience. Keep alert when crossing any roads! 🇮🇳👍

You will let mostly ladies things and grocery items there. The prices are very economical. This market needs to be rebuilt. It has a small shop and narrow corners. It is advisable to avoid going between 1pm-4pm as most of the shops are closed for lunch. After 4pm is the right time to visit the market. Use a mask.l before entering the market as it smells very bad especially near the pork shop.

One of the famous Market in South Goa. A tourist attraction and destination. I think almost everything you need is here, clothes, shoes, food, groceries, local wine shop, souvenir shop, And very famous in all goan delicacy. But a very busy place and parking is a big problem in peak hours.

A place for purchase of essentials to specialities. A must to visit during stay at margaon. Roaming in the marklet and looking at different shops and the products they offer is in itself a joyful moments. You get dried and sugar coated tender coconut, which I saw for the first time.

I nice and peaceful beach where we could sit for a long time and just eat and be at peace. The beach over was a nice place but couldn't give it a 5 star since I felt if lacked the general Goan lustre unlike the other South Goan beaches. Unfortunately I was looking for accommodation in the area and the available accomodations weren't at all satisfactory.

The beach is good enough but mostly crowded.There are different shack’s available for leisure.There also multiple water sports available here like parasailing, jet ski, etc.Parking is available for free.Also the shops are available at walking distance from the beach.

One of the cleaner beaches, way better than the ones in Mumbai.Lifeguards keep people in check and locals are good people.

A beautiful, long and sandy beach in Colva. It is lined with shacks, hotels, restaurants, lounge chairs etc. Before entering the beach, there are two small footbridges. It is less crowded than the beaches in North Goa. However, there are fishing boats and stray dogs roaming in the vicinity. It is less crowded in the evenings. There is garbage scattered around the beach area. Watersport activities can be done on this beach. It is a must visit and should not be missed.

Very peaceful place 😌 loved it so much less crowded place, very smooth waves and clean water good to do water games, good for kids . Full of open area. Water rides also available but bit costly. If you search for search for a shell you will get so many different shells sea fishes

This is generally a crowded beach during the evenings but if you are staying nearby do check out the beach at sunrise when there's hardly anyone on the beach. It is also popular for the water activities and the sunsets. There are lots of joints for food and drinks on the Colva beach road that serve everything - seafood, south indian cuisine, bengali cuisine, Chinese, North Indian, etc. If your looking for more quiet beaches then you can skip it. It can feel very commercialised.Cons- the sand leading to the beach is infested with ants so try to walk fast. And beware of the over friendly homeless people living there especially if you're visiting the beach with family.

As expected it was too crowded when we visited on 18th Dec (Sunday). The beach was fun though to spend some time, playing in the water. The waves were not too rough.

It is situated in south goa. Buses are available to this place, the economical and safest means of transport if u r a solo traveller. Pleasant and peaceful place with little to no crowd. The shore mostly has black sand with small crabs n no shells. Water depth is more so life guards are always at a watch. Beach strolling and simply basking at the sunset can be rejuvenating.

A nice beach to visit in South Goa. The beach was very crowded at some places .But as you go away from the restaurants, it is more calm and cleaner. The places near the shacks are not very clean. The sunset view is amazing. You can spend a quality time with your friends and family.

Beautiful beach. Peaceful spot in Goa. It is not too crowded. Please be careful while swimming, there are some no swimming zones. Please obey the warning signs. There's a park for kids to play. Lots of small cute crabs keep running on the shore. The beach was clean and the sand was extremely fine. The beach sand was so fine, it is easy to make a proper sand castle successfully 😁.

It is another beautiful, clean, and less crowded beach. The sand dunes are kept intact here, too. We saw a new type of beach crab here.

We had a great time over here! There were just 2-3 shacks available on this secluded beach. There is literally no one to disturb you, you can just grab a book, a drink and enjoy the relaxing beach throughout the day at this shack. You often see various birds in front of you near the shore, which is lovely. The service was good, food was okay in both the shacks. You will see 1-2 speed boats parked next to this shack, if you wanna go for speed boating.I'll definitely recommend you to visit here and enjoy if you want a calm, secluded beach ⛱️ vibe in South Goa, with no commercial activities and zero crowd.

What a heaven this beach is. No crowd, super clean beach, beautiful water. I fell in love with this beach as soon as I reached here. The best decision we made was to stay nearby this beach. Must visit the beach.

Well maintained temple by Archeological Society.It's right in the middle of forest cover.There is a stream of water flowing right next to it.Serene environment.Do visit. Maintain cleanliness & sanctity of the place.

Har Har Mahadev! Shiv temple is very old and very nice, the work done in stones here is very amazing which is difficult to do in today's time, so if you go to Goa then definitely visit here once.

The real temple looks way smaller than the pictures show but it's worth it. It is located in a nature conservation area and it's possible to see all sorts of monkeys, lizards, snakes whatnot on your way there. It's nice to walk around and the area is well-run. Parking is free but you'll be asked to buy flowers as an offering to Shiva before entering the temple. They are inexpensive - just 30 rupees and the pack includes incense sticks you can light inside.

A must visit temple. Really well maintained area, surroundings by archeological survey of India. A peaceful and calm place where you can meditate. Nature is in its full bloom during monsoons. The place is in forest and that’s why this temple from 13th century is untouched from invaders.

Good place to visit if you love heritage places especially temples. Remote and peaceful place in south Goa. No range for Vi and Jio networks. Save offline map if you are visiting it for the first time. Washrooms and local tea stalls are available near entrance. Parking is free on the road as temple is at dead end spot. Though actual temple is small, surrounding area is big enough to hang around for a while.

It is a very beautiful place. The whole area will give you some hill station vibe you will be shocked that this is in goa.But the main thing is please remember- it is quite far from the city- there is almost no network at all in this place so don't trust Google maps or depend too much on your phone. It's better you have a local person helping youThe ride to this place is also superb

I had the privilege of visiting the Kadamba Shri Mahadev temple in Goa, and I must say it was a truly remarkable experience. The temple's serene ambiance and stunning architectural details left a lasting impression on me. The intricate carvings and sculptures depicting various mythological stories were awe-inspiring and showcased the skilled craftsmanship of the artisans.The peaceful atmosphere within the temple premises provided a perfect setting for introspection and spiritual contemplation. The temple's significance as a place of devotion and its historical importance added to the sense of reverence that one feels while being there.

A very well maintained temple complex with alot of history amidst a think forest.The architecture and the serenity of this temple is mesmerizing .Can easily access the river in the front and enjoy quick snacks at stores near by.Would highly recommend visiting this place during monsoon to gather the best views of the prestine mountains and forest in its full glory

Amazing place in the centre of nature.We went there from Panjim, and it took us about 1.5 hrs. Out of this, about 45 mins was a drive through thick cover of trees.The temple is archaic and we felt quite peaceful once we reached there. Although, the journey to the temple was even more peaceful. The roads are single lane but with no potholes, so we had no issues driving on them even in heavy rainfall.Food? There a multiple small restaurants they you can find on your way to the temple, but at the temple, there are no restaurants, but small stalls setup by locals. You can find snacks like cookies, chips, etc., or you can also enjoy tea/coffee with pakodas and Maggie.Important to note is there’s no network around that area, so download your maps, and keep enough cash for you local purchase.

A MUST VISITif you love greenery,nature,silence,wildlife and peace you must visit this place. I assure you ,you will not regret.The way to reach temple is beautiful. I am sharing pictures too.Temple is a beautiful art of our ancestors.Wind blowing,birds chirping,monkeys jumping on trees,sound of water and fragrance of incense sticks will make your day.Note* No network zone,cash payments only.For your way keep songs downloaded.

It's absolutely beautiful a very well maintained temple beautifully carved out of black basalt rock back in the 12th century. located deep in the Mollem Sanctuary ..the drive or ride to the temple is beautiful..long stretches of just dense forests.There is a Beautiful stream of water flowing right at the entrance of the temple. Also a waterfall around 4kms away.There are few stalls outside the temple serving refreshments ,tender coconut etcThe temple is around 65-67kms away from panjim bus stand.You'll find yourself Surrounded by monkeys

The 13th century Mahadev temple is located at a peaceful and serene location amidst mountains in the backdrop farway from the hustle bustle of cities. You can park your vehicle at the gates, they have laid out a cobbled stone path to the temple , which is barely 5 minutes from the gate. The temple carved out of stones has withstood the test of time. The well maintained gardens compliment this beautifully created temple. You are allowed to take photos however photos of Lord Mahadev are prohibited. You will surely be amazed by the whole experience.

If one visits Goa, one must visit this mahadev temple in tambdi surla. The temple covered with thick forest with natural beauty throughout your eyesight goes. Peaceful place to visit and enjoy the view of the temple carved from a single stone that too built around 13th century. Amazing marvels of past.

This place truly exudes a unique vibe. It is an ancient temple constructed in the 14th century, devoted to Lord Shiva. The surroundings of the temple are enveloped in lush greenery, with various flowers adorning the area. It is undoubtedly a must-visit destination, impeccably maintained. It's situated in South Goa, it's a little bit away from the usual places, many small tea shops are there for snacks, separate toilet facilities also available for both genders. Kindly refrain from littering the premises.

Its a very beautiful temple nestled inside the forest. The roads leading to this place are convenient enough. There is proper parking space available on the premises. The temple premises are very clean and well maintained.

The journey is very exciting and adventurous. It is 1.5 hour drive from Margaon and the place is inside Bhagwan Mahaveer wild life sanctuary. The jungle is lush green and road is very good. The temple is about 700 year old and built in 13th century. A day worth spent.

It's a great place to visit.. About 50-60 kms from Dabolim Airport, this temple is situated quite inside of a forest.. However, the place itself is soothing.. The gardens in the temple area are beautiful.. The temple is surrounded by a small river/tributary on one side, trees/forests on almost all sides, and hills on one side.. It has a refreshing aura, you can spend a quality hour or two here, with family or friends.. It's a nice place to visit around Goa.. Gets you away for a while, from the party-life version of Goa.. Would definitely recommend a visit here..

If you land in Goa, you must visit this place. Situated in deep forest you will enjoy the journey through lush green forest. Absolute treat to eyes. This Shiva temple was build in 13th century, carved from stone. Also water flowing through nearby stream,from deep forest waterfall. Although water is flowing is less in summer but chilled.

Very beautiful serene beach with white sand and clear water.As per me it is one of the best beaches in goa

Just some distance from famous Majorda Beach of South Goa you will find UTORDA....a very serene, peaceful beach of South Goa. Infact, most of South Goa beaches are less crowded... Utorda is more so because of its wayward positioning and infrequent communication. But that actually increases its charm. The tide is even, the seabed is flat, the beach 🏖️ is long...a perfect place for 🌞 bathing and swimming. So add this beautiful beach in your itinerary.....dear.

A very clean and calm beach mostly visited by foreigners for its peaceful vibes. The beach has mostly white sand. There are also many shacks on the beach that offer affordable seafood.

Lovely beach to enjoy with family/friends. Clean and very less crowded compared to other Goan beaches. Has a few shacks that offer sea food. You may also enjoy parasailing in the evenings. Many of the 5-star resorts are located on this beach. Great place to enjoy sunset!

Its in South goa... Its really really beautiful... Its like foreign.. Very fewer ppl came here... Lesser rush.. Clean water.. White sand.. Just amazing. Unbelievable beauty

The UTORDA Beach is set in the south of Goa and is one of the cleanest beaches I have ever seen. Being located in South Goa the beach is not at all crowded. These beaches are mostly accessed by the residents of hotels across the beach.The beach is clean and sand does not stick like the one in North Goa. Commercial activities like hawkers selling stuff are almost NIL. one can sit or even sleep peacefully here. We found a lot of sea shells and small crabs in the water.Sunsets are amazing and not to be missed.

Huge beach.. Very good for playing on morning time as it is a very big beach.. Evening will be crowded.

A lovely, clean beach. We reached here during low tide in a very cloudy weather. The contrast of dark clouds and the long stretch of light brown sand beach made it magnificent.

Very Nice and clean beach..You can do fun with Friends and Family.

Beautiful beach. Best time to visit is summer or after monsoon is over to watch the sunset.

Another one in the list of peaceful and clean beaches in south Goa. There are a few beach shacks nearby where you can have food and just enjoy the beach vibes. Good to spend some relaxing time with family/friends.

After reaching Goa late evening we visited this beach as it was close to the hotel. It was jam packed even at 10 pm near the shore. Fancy restaurants with all party songs. Best place to enjoy the night life !!

This is the second main beach after Baga. Actually both are in same lane.All the water sport activities are done here.Morning vibes are too good. Dolphin rides are also available.but you have to early morning for that. Otherwise you see nothing.Parking is available at main entrance for Rs. 50.Evening water rides are awesome. Max allowed time will 5 PM. Get into water ride before that and watching sunset there will be a pure bliss.

The beach has a smooth walking surface so one can easily roam around. Sand is also soft so worth visiting in the evenings and night. plenty of water sports to enjoy and beach shacks offering food and drinks.

It's the most Lively beach of Goa. It's always crowded whether it's peak time or off season. It's very hot during May to August.

With my buddies, I had been here numerous times. When I listen to the sound of waves, I feel calm. I also had a great time dancing to the music's beat. I've also seen the sunrise; it's lovely.

One of the most crowded beach. Best place for enjoying water sports. Dolphin seeing trip will be great experience here. Jet ski, boating, pera ceiling, Banana ride are included in water sports. You can do bargain here as they use to ask for high price. Walking on the beach is so relaxing here.

One of the famous beach in North Goa. You can enjoy all types of Watersports activities on this beach.Sunset and Sunrise on this beach is super .There are many shacks available on the beach where you can enjoy their food and enjoy sunbathing.Must Visit places , if you are visiting Goa

Very beautiful beach with lots of public rush.There are many shops to buy drinks, kaju, beach supplies etc.During morning hours breakfast options also present.Beach is pleasant and children can enjoy the sea waves and spend quality time in beach.

This beach is very happening and quite crowded, popular place for youngsters to chill. There are lots of food, souvenir, wine shops near the beach and the price of alcohol is really low here. You must definitely visit this place.

Best beaches to party, play water sports and can enjoy the beach peacefully. Best for early morning and sunset. Partying night is the best time.

Too crowded specially on weekend. We hardly got our room near beach. So I would suggest to prior booking before coming here. Or just go to South Goa better beaches and less crowded. Had my 30th birthday here it was great night.

It is one of the most happening place in the town..perfect time to go there is sunset..Sun is setting down, and you are entering Baga beach and had awesome vibes and loud music at Sam's shack..

Not somewhere you can swim. But life guards are present. Crowded most times. Shacks is best place to enjoy beer/tea/coffee!

One of the best beaches to visit as it is very lively and it's pretty well maintained. The beach and water here is real attractive with all kinds of water sports. Do not ever take any combo as they just give you small rides and there is no value for money. People are everywhere ready to make a fool of you. Choose the right ride and take it individual as it's value for money.

Visited in AprilExperiencing the sunset at Baga Beach in Goa is an absolute marvel. The picturesque views, the golden hues painting the sky, and the tranquil ambiance create an unforgettable moment. It's truly a breathtaking sight that captures the essence of Goa's natural beauty.

A very crowded place at day time.The beauty of baga is at night before 10 Pm.Come on this beach after 7 pm and enjoy the beach dinner 🍽️ with dance.On the beach side music is allowed till 10 Pm .

A fantastic spot to chill with friends, this place in Goa stands out as a top destination for partying and drinks. The beach is dotted with numerous shacks, ensuring a delightful experience for all. It's a surefire way to have a great time and create lasting memories with your pals.

Beautiful beach, with water sports activities. There were lot of shacks close to the beach. Crowded place, must visit in Goa. Good to go for sunset.

It was heavily crowded but we loved the beach. It is one of the best beaches in North Goa. It's more beautiful at night with all lights. Maybe this is not good for kids because people drink everywhere

The place is very nice and great to explore. I visited on public holiday so it was but crowded i will suggest to avoid holiday dates.Try local food.Beach is very clean and maintained.Sunset is amazing.Many vendors are there you can enjoy tea and snacks near the beach.The photography through DSLR/ Mobile is allowed ✅️.Paid parking is available.

Must visit place in Goa, if you are party person, then yes this is the place to visit during evening.It's always crowded, and beach shacks are open till late night. Beach is well maintained and very clean.Recommended for group of friends during evening time.

This is by far known to be Goa to most of the people who come to Goa for a vacation. To the fact its not so but yes it has the biggest parking lot I have seen in all the beaches I have visited in goa plus its most crowded beach ⛱️ 365 days of the year. The shacks are filled with all sorts of people from young to all oldies.I found this place a little less on hygiene and cleanliness. This doesn't bother people who are party animals but to others who have not come just for parties.

Nice place to chill and relax. One of best beach at North Goa. It is clean and peaceful.You have lot of shops for bags, accessories, home decors and food at surroundings.

Looks and feels more beautiful at night.... there are many restaurants and shacks on the beach side. You can enjoy your dinner here.... Very beautiful ❤️ but this places are more expensive....

Baga Beach, located in vibrant North Goa, offers a lively atmosphere and stunning sunset views. Renowned for its exciting water sports activities, the beach presents a dynamic experience. However, the downside includes overcrowding, leading to cleanliness issues, and a lack of beach amenities for optimal enjoyment. Additionally, certain areas restricted for water sports can limit the overall beach experience.

During my stay we had early morning walks at 5:30 AM to Baga Beach. The sun barely peeking over the horizon, casting an orange glow. The sand, cool and damp under bare feet. Cleanliness here is good to average depending on time. Breathtaking view of the ocean with boats at distant. We built sandcastles hearing the sound symphony of ocean waves and birds chirping. Ambience so mesmerizing giving peace and bliss like meditation. At Night it is chaotic with DJ sounds and Nightlife lights. At night you would be asked every now and then for Bars, Tatoo or Hookah here by waiters and agents. If you want to truly experience this beach just lace up shoes in early morning when it is still dark. It was a soul rejuvenating experience for me in early morning.

This beach is most famous one and it will be crowded all the time. There are many entertaining activities like we can go for paragliding and speed boats.... The moment we get into this beach we can feel party vibes.

One of the most crowded and famous beach of North Goa. There's always a rush. Come in early morning to enjoy sunrise with less crowd. Visited on 9 October 22

Baga Beach, Goa: A paradise of sun, sand, and serenity. Crystal-clear waters, vibrant shacks, and thrilling water sports make it an unforgettable coastal retreat. But there are some waste found around the place and if its cleared it could be nice.

Lots of shacks options.Must visit at night once.Soothing peaceful view.you can walk to the shores and find it really peaceful.You can park your vehicle in different lanes as near main baga beach gate, parking is little hard to find.

One of the famous beach in Goa..🌊We went there early morning to avoid crowd , also hair braiding is so famous near this beach..they make pretty braids on our hair using some woollen treads and shells as well

Baga Beach is an excellent choice to celebrate your vacation! The vibrant atmosphere, water sports, shacks, eateries and lively nightspots make it the ultimate celebration or recreation destination. Whether you're into adventure or simply unwinding by the shore, Baga has it all. Beach where every time spend feels like a celebration!

A bustling yet enjoyable beach, especially at night. The nighttime ambiance offers a unique experience, with each beach shack having its distinct vibe.Caution: Be aware of minimum bill conditions at each shack; check before taking a seat.

Very beautiful beach. Specially candle light dinner on the beach side is very beautiful. To enjoy the night life on beach, you need to visit this place during October to May. Candle light dinner on beach & sports activity are closed during rainy season.

Nice beach for time spent. Less crowd as compared to other beaches in North Goa.Don't have well managed market to buy clothes.

Very rocky terrain so not that good for swimming. No life guards around. However, it’s great photo spot and restaurants on bay are plus. I haven’t tried food there but I am hoping it will be decent.

Another beautiful beach of north Goa. Most of the hostels are located here. Lots of restaurants and shopping centers on the beach road. Paid parking is also available.

Best experience with Sunset view in Anjuna beach, Goa..There are multiple options to enter the beach, but recommend checking Google map and visiting the sunset view point here. The rocks, sunset view and tidal waves are amazing here..Highly recommended 👍

We all know Goa known for the beautiful beaches..So one of the Anjuna Beach offers the perfect balance of relaxation and entertainment, with its golden sands and perfectly safe swimming waters. It’s clean and pretty tough …😍 Best is Not so crowded ! 🙏🏻

Beach : 8/10Beach Cafe's : 9/10Watersports : 8/10Stays : 8/10Nearby Restaurants : 9/10

Good place overall! Too much haggling for water sport but otherwise the beach is clean.Lovely sunset point. Nightlife is great!

Fantastic place to watch the sunset. A few shops nearby. Being a comparatively well-known beach, there is always a crowd here during sunset. But as it is a long stretch of that, it is not as disturbing. A little rocky outcrop right at the center is the perfect place to sit down and watch the sun disappear.

I must say this one is unique in its own way. It has all the restaurants and bars built in such a way or standing in such a way that you can sit seeing sun to dip in the evening sky with a beer in your hand still and calm till you take the last bit of it. If not you can choose to just grace the ocean from a Deck.

A beautiful beach in north Goa. Some parts of the beach is rocky and some parts are sandy. A calm and quite beach one enjoy the day in the beach. Entry point of the beach is not specifically mentioned. There are several entry points. So according to need of vehicle and food items entry points should be earmarked.Good beach to vist.

It’s a nice beach, great ambience. There are some good shacks and the beach is clean. It isn’t as Rocky so you can stand on the shore. The sunset is very beautiful. There’s also an area where there are few bars and cafes to sit and chill

This beach is one of the most popular beaches and there are many shacks lining the beach. The waves here are quite strong as well. If you're looking for a peaceful calm beach this is not recommended as it is more happening here

Beach is clean but be careful with the slippery rocks and throny too🤣. Too many people to ask u for tattoos, hair braids and anklets.. many sea facing restaurants. U can a great time here.

For me Anjuna was a way better experience than other beaches in Goa.The whole ambience and setting of stores through the tight roads is a vibe. And the sunset is just wow.The rocks formation in Beach gives the images an aesthetic feel.

Nothing special here here....but if you want to enjoy some lovely time you can head here....as there's no shacks aroundDon't step deep into the sea as the beach coast is very low and decline also there is not a single coast guard to save us so be safe....else you can enjoy into the Cafe but they can be heavy on your pocket....if you are a photography lover you can head here as there will be no crowd....Also I would recommend to not go here at night coz it's risky and dark for anyone to be !!

Love it... Mesmerizing view from this beach. There are many cafes available near the beach. You can enjoy food in front of sea waves.Different types of stone on the beach also make the urge to spend more time and enjoy the Natural beauty of this Beach .You can spend many hours on this beach

Very beautiful & one of the cleanest beach in North Goa. Boat rides are costly.I will not recommend.Water sports can be done in package.its quiet peaceful and not so crowded and dirty like other beaches.

It's a good beach with rocks. Water is clear and nice. You can find a lot of crabs on the rocks. Small fishes out here. A nice place to walk around and take some good pics.

I will not suggest swimming here because its a rocky beach. Many rocks are there in some depth also.If you want water sports then u can go to this beach. Also, it's a good area for street shopping.

Not quite impressed with the fort as there is nothing much to see apart from sea view from hill top. Visiting this place in early morning would be highly recommend as there are no shelters around or inside the fort for a visit in noon.It's was hot and drains a lot of energy.One suggestion is that if you are welling to visit make sure you get down to the other side of the fort for a beach view which is worth your time.

Great place to have a great view of Vagator and another beach just backside but don’t know the name . Just sit back n relax with friends you will love the vibes . This is more famous for the shooting of movie Dil Chahta Hai

A very nice place with beautiful view points. One should climb some 100 steps to reach the fort. Entry is free here and it is generally good for sunset view. The place is extremely hot and visitors should take sufficient water, hat or umbrella. There are a number of shops on either side of the pathway and at the top. The cost is a little high compared to general price

About a 10 minute ride from Anjuna, lots of moped parking and then an uphill walk to the stairs, there are people selling water and drinks on the way up. There are just over 100 stairs to get to the top of the fort and the opening times were 10-6. Lovely views from the top, try to go earlier than later as it gets very hot

Nice place to visit, provides a top view of the ocean and the creek. Early morning and evening are best slots, though we had travelled in afternoon. Parking is chargeable. Small shops around the stairs sells lots of stuff, collectible as memento. I loved the one at the entrance, the guy selling spices and then the one at the bottom, selling leather bags.

Nice, pleasant and calm place to visit with your friends and family. The place is very big, you can go and sit anywhere and enjoy the beautiful views. The fort entry closes at 5.30pm in the evening, and it takes around 20-25 minutes walking through steps to reach the fort in the top. So plan your visit accordingly. Carry some snacks or you can also buy from the many shops available alongside the steps to fort. Must visit place if you are nearby.

Just a small historical broken fort, just one time visit in Goa. The back view is nice for photos where the beach looks pretty good in photos.Parking is a little challenging as the roads are tiny & parking space is also very small.

Historically, I recommend visiting the place as one of the highest places where we can watch the nearby beach. Wonderful view point and recommending that visit morning between 10 am 12 pm or 3 pm to 5 Pm in the evening in the Summer season. Too much walking is required, hence avoiding kids and elderly people. There are juice points available to get refreshment. No tickets when I visited in the month of March 2024.

A historical site will always be top rated for me simply for it being witness of the past and ancient history. The ruins of the barracks and buildings now remain only traces of the majestic fort that it would have once been. The view of the sea and river from the fort is breathtaking spectacular specially at sunset. Wish the ruins could speak and tell us tales of grandeur.

In North Goa, Chapora Fort is a true beauty! The ascent is well worth it for the magnificent views of the Arabian Sea and the surrounding countryside that one gets from the summit of the fort.Google images led me to the conclusion that the sunset at Chapora Fort is quite breathtaking.Its a photographer's paradise. I arrived here around lunchtime, so I was unable to witness the sunset.

The fort is in the top of the mountain. Little walk to reach to the top of the fort. Kids enjoyed playing, they were playing with the rocks. Nice view of Vagator beach from the fort. If you come in the evening you will get a good sunset view for lots of pics and you can enjoy more. We went to a place that we can make our memories in the fort. Fort closes at 5 pm so make sure you reach before 5. There are small shops which sell coconuts , water bottles and other snacks. We ate Guava and drank coconut water while coming back.Fort is fully ruined only the outer wall is present.

Took a trip to Chapora Fort and was blown away by the stunning views! The fort itself is rich in history, and the panoramic vistas of the Arabian Sea are breathtaking. A must-visit for anyone exploring Goa's cultural heritage.

Beach is very clean and not much crowdedGreat place but beach stacks is very expensiveLess crowdedGood place to spend evening

One of our favourite beaches in North Goa. Water looks clear blue from a distance,and so clean. Beach shacks are also nice.The best part is,you can also hike a little and reach another part of the beach which is more clean and less crowdy.

The beach is pretty beautiful and quite huge. Great for a walk or sun/sea bathing even. It’s become very crowded in the recent years though. Lots of places for you to eat/drink/chill through the day but the one big problem is the limited number of places with decent or even usable washrooms, so I’d suggest check that before you decide where you’re gonna be sitting down.

It's a beautiful beach ... you will see more Foreigners than Indians in this beach. This beach is the furthest and there are lot of water sports activities that you can do. Paragliding is also done here. The beach sacks are just awesome.... mostly all are good , serving great food. The atmosphere in the evening is so vibrant and suddenly transforms the whole beach to party mode. You just can have drinks, food till the waves touches your feet. You can take a small trek and also visit the small sweet water lake.

Nice, clean beach with a very good stretch from sweet Lake till Morjim. The Sand is clear and the area of the beach is good too. You will find people working-out on the beach during early mornings and evenings.

The beach is quite, if you need Peace then this beach is for you.The Parking space is available, they charge 100 rupees. The food is good, the event vibes are good.

Its been a month and a half I have moved here. Great place to be at. Renting a house is pretty cheap. Weather is good and of course the beach is your forever companion. Great place to be at.

One of the best beach of The GOA, gives a delirious feeling while wondering on beach by seeing the beautiful scenery over the horizon that will continue to infinity and So on...In season it will be very crowded..no doubt...But in off season it is like a Blank page on which just the Title of the poem or chapter is written on Page.. there are lots of Bars and restaurant on the beach which will convert in Dance Pub in Night..

One my favourite beaches in Goa. The beach is great has nice waves and no stones like Anjuna.You can spend the whole day here. It has a lot of nice shacks for food drinks and sunbathing. Towards evening you get ice creams shops, some fire shows, live match screenings.It does not have the party atmosphere hence it's more relaxing.Also the beach has many playful dogs.

Im a regular visitor to this place from 2000 and this is one of the beaches I like in Goa ..Recently I felt like this place lost its old charm .Now it's over crowded just like other famous beached around .. but its the same situation almost everywhere.. and its not going to change .. so can't complaint about it .You can find some decent restaurants , tattoo , clothes and souvenir shops in the main street .

A clean less crowded beach on north goa. It has its own charm and never disappoints you. It has a small hillside called arambol mountain and a shopping lane. The lane further leads to yet another small lagoon where there is a sweet water lake right next to beach. View from hillside shacks is breathtaking especially sunset.

Its one of the beautiful beach 🏖 in the North Goa. Do not skip this beach at any cost. Must visit here. 60-70 percent crowd here are foreigners. You'll feel like you came to out of India. Water is clean and beach 🏖 is also clean. Crowd is good.

Well I was lucky enough to witness the best sunset of my life till date even after visiting various countries I never found this calmness in the sky and ocean this beach was have a unforgettable time of my life so I loved it.

Very serene and nice beach. Was a bit crowded on weekend even in off season. The best spot to view the sunset is through the market road which goes to sweet water lake. There's a corner right turn through the market. Which is exactly in front of the rocks. The rocks can be sighted from the beach too. I found this spot the best to view sunset. Some people were climbing the rocks. The rocks look very rough and sharp. So be careful before trying any stunt. A small injury can ruin your entire trip. So be wise. Thanks🌹.

This beach is located in the northern part of Goa and is very beautiful and clean as compared to the other North Goa beaches. A lane on the left side from the main road leads to the parking area of the beach and then from there a narrow alley leads to the beach. Parking space is abundant and you'll have to pay 50 rupees for parking. Shacks and small food stalls are present both in the parking area and on the beach.

Most peaceful beach. Less crowded. You can enjoy the beach and have some chilled in near by restaurant.

Must visit place while travelling to Goa

Amboli Water Falls is the best sight in Amboli Ghat. Its very pleasant and scenic during the rainy season. However in dry season, its like any other normal waterfall. Amboli is very beautiful during rainy season when its green everywhere and water flows from everywhere onto the roads.

Beautiful water falls, just by the road, it's safe but lot of monkeys around , snatching eatables right out of your hand

Amazing waterfall i have ever seen, must visit place in konkan, no trekking required and there lots of crowd on weekends and holidays. Best to witness mountain, waterfall, ghat and most beautiful foggy climate. It feels like heaven 😻

Beautiful and safe waterfall, no trekking required, only few steps to climb to reach up to the waterfall. During monsoon those steps are also filled with water and the view is breathtaking. Currently its raining very less and hence no water over the steps.

Good place. There is a huge waterfall in ghat section. The place is cool and feels as we are far away from city.

Beautiful waterfall but to enjoy it; visit it on a working day. It's havoc on a holiday and at weekend

AmboliThe breathtaking Amboli Waterfalls is located in the hill station of Amboli in south Maharashtra in India.This incredibly high waterfall is surrounded by numerous other waterfalls as well, and the sight of the falling water and the surrounding greenery add to the beauty and charm of the already mesmerising place. Since the beauty of the falls cannot be enjoyed throughout the year, the excitement and curiosity to witness this magical waterfall becomes doubled, and couples, children, groups of friends, as well as families, have a gala time at the Amboli Waterfalls.

It is just the best place in the monsoon season the water flow is nice and the crowd is low the water will flow in steps and it will be amazing to step up there. The water is very chill and cold the view is very nice and beautiful from amboli waterfalls

This is one of the must visit waterfalls during monsoon. I have visited it a couple of times. There is a lot of crowd during holidays and weekends. The highway is always blocked due to traffic.Be careful and keep a check on the rains if you are planning to visit during monsoon as there are cases of landslides every year.As of today 15th of August, there isnt much water due to scarcity of rainfall this year. However, its still a beautiful waterfalls amid the lush green forests of Amboli ghats.

One of the best locations to visit during rainy season beautiful scenic view of the waterfall and the green fresh atmosphere around .also there are small tea stalls which sell hot fried snacks as well

A little smelly due to stagnant water. Otherwise clean seating area around the lake. Tree lined footpath. Nice place to relax

Moti Talao is a beautiful lake in the heart of Sawantwadi town. It is surrounded by lush greenery and has a paved walkway around its perimeter. There are also several beautiful buildings surrounding the lake, including the State Palace, the old market, and the City Town Hall.In the evenings, Moti Talao is a popular spot for locals and tourists alike. People come to enjoy the cool breeze, the serene atmosphere, and the colorful fountains that light up the lake. There are also several food stalls and restaurants nearby, so you can enjoy a meal while you take in the sights and sounds of the lake.

It is a very pleasing place. I love it!! It is crowded during evenings. People come here for evening walks and to chit chat with their loved ones.❤I also spend some time here!..I love the weather and calmness of the place!The clock tower here is the tourist attraction spot! You will come across Moti Talav once when you come to Sawantwadi!Until then... Enjoy!! 🤩🌼😘

It's an attraction point of Sawantwadi and also a peaceful place to spend the morning or evening...

19032022Motil Talav is Heart of Sawantwadi. Nice and Clean water. Boating Services currently not available.

My native place sawantwadi, the sculpture of tutari in the midst of the moti lake is made by my uncle Mr. Gangaram Baburao Sawant (Kaka Sawant). Not a single time I miss going to this place, when I visit my native place. Best place, where you can take a whole lot of selfies with your friends and family.

One of the best place in Sawantwadi to be with your friends, family and loved ones. The Climate is really cool and pleasant at this location to be around at Moti Talao. We do have our Turmerica Outlet a Family Resturant at this location. Please do visit once at Turmerica Outlet once to have tasty Veg. Food. Have uploaded the few evening pics of the same.

Lake with a beautiful view and pleasant atmosphere. Is also very Well maintained. Nice pavement around is good for a morning or evening walk. Very famous wood market of sawantwadi is right next to this lake.

Situated at the center of the city of Sawantwadi. During night time looks awesome due to the light effect. I can say it's biggest Lake in Konkan area.Surrounded with walking track.Morning or evening walk can do over here.Well maintain and clean area. It's come in historical place of Sawantwadi after Rajwada.
