5 Places To Visit In Monsoon In Goa

While the waterfalls become an obvious go to option,  several other places around the state come alive during  the monsoons too. With fewer people visiting, it is also a  great time to visit some of the more popular tourist spots.  Here are some of the places you should visit on your Goa  monsoon getaway. 

Mahadev Temple, Tambdi Surla: Nestled in the Bhagwan  Mahawir Sanctuary, lies this 12th century temple carved  from rock. 

Sanquelim Dam: As the rains come in and the dam fi lls  up, the area around takes on another persona- with lush  greens, birds and a prevalent sense of calm. 

Mayem Lake: An otherwise bustling tourist spot, this is  the season the crowds drain out and it makes an ideal  place for a day picnic. 

Arvalem Caves: Ancient rock cut caves, with an added  bonus of the Harvalem Waterfall in full flow. 

Carambolim Lake: A picturesque lake around Old Goa  and a great spot for bird watching.
