Scenic Trails
Dudhsagar waterfall
Perched in the high peaks of the Western Ghats
In the midst of the Western Ghats, after having flowed through the plateau, the Mandovi river splits into three and plunges straight down for around 300 mts in a milky stream from where the waterfall gets the name Dudhsagar (literally, a sea of milk), making for a stunning sight.
Varca beach
Peaceful and serene
Among the more peaceful and serene beaches in Southern Goa, it just a few minutes from the resort and packs in the irrestible combination of being picturesquely beautiful and calm. The powdery sands and blue of the sea are offset by the swaying palms. Go for long walks in the evening and morning.
Colva Beach
Swaying palms and foamy waves
Colva beach gets a tad crowded during high season, but is a most pleasurable place to visit anytime during the year. A long stretch of beach with white sands, swaying palms and foamy waves makes for a beautiful retreat. It is also common to see fish laid out to dry.
Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary
Thick mangrove swamps ideal for birds
Located at the tip of the Charao island along the river Mandovi, this is a tiny sanctuary. But the thick mangrove swamps make for an ideal habitat for birds of all kinds such as kingfishers, mynas, storks, cormorants, sandpipers, lapwings, phesants as well as flying foxes, otters and cobras.
Bhagawan Mahaveer Wildlife Sanctuary
A naturalist’s dream come true
Spread over 240 sqkm, Bhagawan Mahaveer Wildlife Sanctuary is a naturalist’s dream come true. Located on the slopes of the Western Ghats, it is home to plenty of flora and fauna including elephants, leopards, sambar, gaur, jungle cats, deer and many others.

Local food and festivals
Chicken Xacuti
Goan delicacy
Chicken Xacuti
One of the most wonderful coastal (Goan and Konkan) preparations of Chicken. Spicy, tangy full of flavour.
This dish is a ‘Must-Try’ when you holiday in Goa. Portuguese influence is evident in the Goan culture and also in the style of cooking. Lobster Peri Peri is a perfect example of the same. The lobster is covered in hot chilli marinade and cooked to perfection. So, if you love to try out new things, this dish should definitely be on your list.
Goan Carnival
Called Chovoth in Goa

It’s a time for feasting, drinking and merry-making for all the Goans.
LairaiZatra
Popular festival and fair

Shigmotsav
Goan version of Holi
Shigmotsav
This is the Goan version of Holi, which usually falls in March, and sometimes goes on for a week. However, there’s also a twist. While colours form an essential part, the festival is also about valour, homecoming, processions, elaborate decorations, plays and dances, folk songs and martial arts.
