  1. Day 1: Colva Beach
    10 minutes (3.6 km) from Margao

    Start your day at Colva Beach, one of the most popular beaches in South Goa. Enjoy the sunrise and take a long walk on the white sand beach. Afterward, have breakfast at the beach shacks offering Goan delicacies such as Aloo Poha, Masala Omelette, and Cutting Chai. In the afternoon, visit the Our Lady of Merces Church nearby.

    Embark on an early morning drive to the majestic Dudhsagar Waterfalls, one of the highest waterfalls in India. It takes around an hour and a half to reach the waterfalls from Colva Beach. Marvel at the stunning views of the waterfall cascading down from a height of 310 meters, surrounded by lush greenery. You can take a dip in the cool waters of the falls and enjoy a picnic lunch. Afterward, visit the Tambdi Surla Mahadev Temple, which is a 13th-century temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. The temple is located amidst a dense forest and is an excellent example of Kadamba-Yadava architecture. Head back to Colva Beach in the evening.
