So the answer for most people would be the beaches, beautiful sunsets, sea waves and many fun and adventurous water activities. But what if we tell you that now you can enjoy trekking there too? Yes, you are reading right. The Goa Tourism Development Corporation (GTDC) has launched a monsoon trekking program from Tambadi Surla-Mollem in South Goa to promote tourism in the interior of the state and attract more tourists.
Where to go for trekking in Goa?
With the state government of Goa focusing on tourism in the hinterland, Gaonkar advised tourists to go through trekking activities safely. Here are some options for trekking in monsoon that you can try in Goa.
Sonsogor Trek
If you want to experience what it feels like to be at the top, then head to Sonsogar. Sonsogor is one of the three highest peaks in the state and a visit here means being at the top of Goa. The trek here may take around 2-3 hours. However, it can be more or less than this as each person’s experience is different.
Dudhsagar Trek
Till now you must have seen Dudhsagar only in reels. It is famous as one of the 5th highest waterfalls in India. Dudhsagar is the most popular waterfall in Goa and words will not be enough to describe its beauty. It flows through the dense forests of the Western Ghats and a trek to this place during the monsoon season will give you a glimpse of its ethereal beauty.
Pali Waterfall Trek
Pali Falls is another great option for waterfall trekking in Goa. However, the path here becomes a bit slippery during the monsoons, so you will need to take special care while choosing your trekking shoes. This place is also one of the densest forests in Goa and the more you go inside it, the closer you find yourself to nature.
Hivarum Trek
Hivaram Falls is one of the least explored places in Goa. Here you will have to pass through steep slopes, which will give you the experience of trekking. An interesting point here is that there are three waterfalls located next to each other which you must cover.
