Amthane Dam

-




 Everyone knows that Goa is blessed with many rivers, lakes, beaches, and natural beauty😍😻. To facilitate proper water supply for farm irrigation and for household usage, Goa's department of water resources created several minor irrigation tanks across the state. Amthane is one such project which provides irrigation water for nearby farms and also provides raw water supply to Asnora / Assonora treatment plant.

Located in Bardez Taluka, AMTHANE DAM has successfully managed to stay off the tourist radar. Although, it is quite a popular location for locals who come here to enjoy a good swim and relax with their friends and family😇😀. The water reservoir surrounded by the small hills of the Sahyadri range creates a spectacular view, especially during sunset😍🌅.

In case you want to extend your stay and enjoy the peaceful surroundings, even more, there is a farmhouse turned into a picnic spot called Amthane valley right next to the reservoir😇. The place has a swimming pool, a waterslide and a couple of rooms to stay overnight. Entry ticket is Rs.150 per person and the room tariff is around Rs500 per room.  Make sure you are carrying your own food and extra pair of clothes😊.

Mangrove Boardwalk

Goa famous for its beaches and parties, but it is also one of the greenest states in India with over one-third of the  area covered with green tropical forest. With the mighty Mandovi river giving life to the surrounding mangrove forests, Goa’s biodiversity is remarkable.  India’s second Mangrove Boardwalk opened in the heart of Panjim city. Located right behind the Goa State Central Library, this walk is an insight into the many types of mangrove species, the wildlife of the area, and a call for close interaction with nature. This first-of-its-kind walkway over the mangroves is for visitors to explore, discover and learn more about the flora and fauna of the region. Located over the Ourem Creek, this one is spread across 1,100 square metres and is free for all to visit. Opened to the public a while ago, one can go here anytime of the day to just walk around.

  A place I would like to visit.  There are a lot of wonderful places I wish to visit. However, most of all I would like to visit is satrem waterfall. So if I get time, it would be great. Because I really like to see how the water flows from the top, the sound of water when it hits rocks, peace in nature, etc😇😍. To go to this waterfall we need to pass from the small village valpoi. After reaching the destination we need to walk a little to reach the actual destination😇. And one day I will visit the place😀.
