4. Dudhsagar Waterfall


Dudhsagar's verdant jungle and stunning waterfall, are beautiful places to visit with their powerful sprays, which are sights you won't soon forget. This river of milk (called Dudh Sagar which means milk sea)looks like it's pouring down in plenty because of the contrast between the surging water and the lush vegetation. Located on the Mandovi River, this four-tiered waterfall complex is among the tallest in India. Virtually 1017 feet up a nearly vertical mountain wall, white water thunders down in a gushing waterfall. It's better to enter Mollem National Park, where they're located within the Bhagwan Mahaveer Sanctuary, and then take a parked van to the waterfalls. As their power wanes during the dry season, they are at their greatest during the monsoons. You can choose to go on vacation for a group tour because several are offered during this time. Camping is available as an accommodation choice on some itineraries. If you want to have a positive experience, though, especially on a self-organized hike, you need to pack accordingly.


5. Fort Arvada


Within the walls of the fort is India's oldest surviving lighthouse, constructed in 1864. You can't go to Candolim or Sinquerium Beaches without also checking out Fort Aguada. The fort is more interesting because of the hidden entrance. Fort Aguada is a magnificent structure that can be seen at the mouth of the River Mandovi. The massive fort was built in 1612 and is one of Goa's most recognizable landmarks. The Portuguese once ruled the region and recognized its strategic importance. Visitors today are captivated by the fort's breathtaking panorama of the Arabian Sea. Among the many interesting features inside the fort are a prison and an antique lighthouse. A visit to the fort makes for a fun and exciting afternoon. It's normally too hot to enjoy the beach in the afternoon. If you're visiting Goa, however, staying in your hotel room the whole time isn't an option. Rather than doing anything else, visit Fort Aguada and spend some time looking around. Honeymooners show keen interest as it is a beautiful place to visit.


6. Chapora Fort


Location: above a natural valley that opens up onto the sea. The vista from the fort is stunning, as you might expect.

Since then, the fort has been a popular destination for friends traveling to Goa, and its name has evolved to reflect its association with the film. The fort, built in 1717 on a bluff above the Chapora River, has a long and storied past. Though little of its former splendor remains, the fort provides breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside and Vagator Beach. You can easily kill a couple of hours here, between touring the fort and taking in the scenery outside. Since there aren't any stores selling food and the salt air is sure to make you hungry, you'll want to bring some with you.
