Gorgeous Goa in India.

Goa's Dudshagar Waterfalls, Bondla Wildlife Sanctuary Visit and Bogmalo Area Photo and Holiday Guide for India Goa.

India Goa: Apart from a seemingly insatiable need to try out as many delicious Goan food dishes as possible whilst on our fortnight's holiday in India we did manage to wander around and do a fair bit of sightseeing whilst on our Goa holiday. Well at least we were driven around a fair bit to various places suggested by our excellent taxi driver (and at hardly any cost either). So we did see various parts of Goa including the excellent Dudshagar Waterfalls and below are just a few photos from some of the locations visited.

We have lots more photos and information on our other Goa pages as well as guides about our visit out to Dandeli Jungle in Karnataka State, India - please see the menus at the bottom of this page.

Photographs taken around the Bogmalo area of Goa

The last three pictures are of Grande Isle and on the right Sao Jorge Isle.
These tiny islands are located only a few kilometres out from Bogmalo beach - we had a high speed boat ride out to these islands and then whizzed around them courtesy of the Full Moon Restaurant.

Bondla Wildlife Park Having unfortunately failed to see a whole lot of wild animals whilst out in Dandeli jungle in Karnataka we took a trip out to Bondla Wildlife Park which is located a little to the north west of Ponda instead. The Park is not that big but does have a few cats, snakes and so on to look at plus some nice crocodiles. Once we had finished wandering around the Park our taxi driver took us on a wide loop back to Bogmalo by visiting several temples on the way to Old Goa, then had a wander around the Capital of Goa - Panaji. We finished up by going across the Mandovi River and having a look round Aguada Fort before the drive back to Bogmalo. It all made for a nice relaxing day (at least it was for us but perhaps not so much for Amil - our taxi driver.)

A few photos taken around Ponda on our way towards Old Goa and Panaji.

India - Goan Boats and Trains Photos

Dudshagar Waterfalls, Goa, India. Dudshagar Waterfalls are a popular day out for people staying around the the beach resorts of Goa. Our taxi driver took us from Bogmalo to Dudshagar (and was happy to stop at various places on the way there and back so we could take photos etc.), then he waited around for us before we returned via a Spice Farm visit back to Bogmalo. We were out nearly all day and he charged us 20 UK Pounds - a real bargain.
You have to do the last 45 minutes up to the falls via jeep and with a guide - this cost the two of us 5 UK Pounds. The trip up into the mountains was an event in itself - with lots of excellent scenery etc. It is possible to swim in the pools at the falls but note the water is extremely cold and there are some currents to contend with. There were no lifeguards on duty and there was not even any lifebelts or ropes around that we could see etc. so beware if you are tempted to go in for a quick dip. The whole trip i.e. transport by jeep - the waterfalls - and of course returning back took around 3.5 hours and we thought it was excellent value for money.
