Start the day early and visit the majestic Dudhsagar Waterfalls, one of the tallest waterfalls in India. Enjoy the serene and lush greenery of the surrounding forest area. Be mesmerized by the beauty of the 4-tiered waterfall and take a dip in the refreshing waters of the pool.
Explore the Bhagwan Mahavir Wildlife Sanctuary and Mollem National Park, a biodiversity hotspot in Goa. Hike through the lush green forests and witness a variety of flora and fauna, including Bengal Tigers, Indian bison, and Leopard. Don't forget to visit the Tambdi Surla Temple, one of the oldest temples in Goa, located within the sanctuary.
Visit the Tambdi Surla Waterfall, a hidden gem in Goa. The waterfall cascades around the Mahadev Temple, an ancient temple built in the 12th century. The dense forest around the temple and waterfall makes for a perfect spot to enjoy a picnic lunch.
Visit the Bondla Wildlife Sanctuary, a small wildlife sanctuary in Goa perfect for nature enthusiasts. Explore the mini zoo, deer safari park and the botanical garden that displays the diverse flora of the Western Ghats. Take a short nature walk or go on a trek through the sanctuary for a chance to spot some native wildlife.
End the day with a visit to the beautiful Salaulim Dam. The reservoir acts as an important source of drinking water for the region and is surrounded by verdant hills. Enjoy a scenic drive or a leisurely walk across the dam while admiring the beautiful, serene surroundings.
If you have more time on your hands, you can add a visit to the Bhagwan Mahaveer Sanctuary and Dudhsagar Falls Trek, which takes about 8 hours and you hike up to the waterfall from Castle Rock railway station via Dot Surla village and Baman Dongar.
If you want to shorten the tour, you can reduce the time spent in Salaulim Dam and Bondla Wildlife Sanctuary. If you're an animal enthusiast, it may be worth skipping the dam in favor of spending more time in the wildlife sanctuaries.
