SIGHT SEEING
Spice Plantation |
Managed and run by the Shetye family,
this plantation is now over 200 years old and covers an area
of 100 acres. We are situated in the village of Savoi which
is 25 kms. from the capital city Panjim , 40 kms from Calangute
in North Goa and 30 kms from the city of Margao in South Goa.
This plantation boasts of a purely organic and natural environment,
in which the guests can enjoy nature at its very best. The
pond situated within attracts a number of birds of different
varieties. Bird watching is one sport the guests can simultaneously
enjoy as they explore the spicy world of Savoi Plantation. |
The Big Foot is Goa's biggest designer
dance floor shaped like a giant foot and has been created
for the express purpose of being a versatile venue for all
types of functions and entertainment events like weddings,
anniversaries, seminars, dances etc.
A wide and spacious, white washed entrance is flanked by a
pillared and craved structure crowned by a lotus and peacock
motif. A large, open palm, studded with lawm welcomes the
vistor to the floor which is a landscaped delight of vibrantly
hued bougainvillea, pine and deeply canopied shady arborics. |

Ancestral Goa |
From the dream of an artist to becoming
a major tourist attraction, the project has come along way
since 1995 when it was opened to the public. Today hundreds
of tourists - national and international visit the place.
Besides artists, students, teachers, nature lovers, environmentalists
and others frequent the site often. |
| The fort was constructed in 1612
to guard against the Dutch and the Marathas. It was a reference
point for the vessels coming from Europe at that time. This
old Portuguese fort stands on the beach south of Candolim,
at the shore of the Mandovi river. It was initially tasked
with defense of shipping and the nearby Bardez District. Fort
Aguada was the most prized and crucial fort of Portuguese.
The fort is so large that it envelops the entire peninsula
at the south western tip of Bardez. |

Crocodile Point |
The huge, deadly looking crocodiles
with dagger-like teeth are seen in the wild, right here in
Goa in the narrow creek that intrudes into the thick mangrove
jungle near the small village of Cumbarjua.
Most crocodiles that live in the Cumbarjua canal spend their
days sunbathing on the muddy banks of the canal, watching
visitors pass by in their canoes. The canal is a 15 km long
stretch of water located about 20 minutes drive away from
Panaji. It links the two biggest rivers in Goa - the Zuari
and Mandovi.The Cumbarjua canal is the only place in Goa where
crocodiles can actually be seen in the wild. Some stray crocodiles
are sometimes also found in places like Chorao, Tivim and
Quepem. |
It’s quite surprising that
the Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary is the only Goa wildlife reserve
that is dedicated to the birds of the region.
Because the island of Chorao is full of mangrove swamps, the
region produces exceptional cover and vegetation for many
different breeds of local coastal bird as well as the perfect
resting ground for migrating birds from all around the world. |
