Waterfalls in Goa
Waterfalls in Goa are an added attraction to entertain and pull the crowd apart from its sunny beaches, dazzling discos and swaying palms.

These waterfalls, lakes and springs lying far away from the seashores, away from the jostle of the beaches and thundering waves give you that perfect retreat, a perfect picnic spot and refreshing water to make a splash.
Stretches of golden sand soaked by a rush of blue sea waters with the sky mirroring the sea below and the green paddy fields and coconut groves along with rolling and falling waters of the cascades makes your longer days of sun, sand and sea the most enjoyable.
