Panaji, June 23, 2025 – The Goa Tourism Development Corporation (GTDC) is inviting nature lovers and adventure seekers to experience the magic of the monsoons with a special Trekking Expedition to Tambdi Surla Waterfalls, scheduled for Sunday, 29th June 2025.
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Bhagwan Mahaveer Wildlife Sanctuary, this monsoon trek offers participants a perfect blend of natural beauty, cultural heritage, and outdoor adventure.
🌧️ Explore Goa’s Monsoon Magic
Monsoon in Goa transforms the landscape into a lush green paradise, and few places capture this seasonal charm better than Tambdi Surla Waterfalls. Nestled deep within the forest, the falls cascade into a serene natural pool — an ideal spot for a refreshing dip amidst nature.
The trail to the waterfall begins at the famous Tambdi Surla Shiva Temple, a revered 12th-century monument built in the Kadamba style of architecture. A visit to this ancient temple adds a spiritual and historical dimension to the trek.
🌿 A Trek for the Adventurous and the Curious
The trek is moderately challenging, taking approximately 90 minutes one way, and is suitable for participants in good physical health. Along the way, trekkers will experience:
- Dense tropical forests
- Flowing monsoon-fed streams
