The journey begins at a historic site in Goa, located in a quaint village along the Kushavati River. The petroglyphs or rock carvings at Panasalimal on the Kushavati River’s banks date back to the Stone Age. These laterite inscriptions feature depictions of animals, concentric circles, and human figures.

Rivona - The tour continues to the village of Rivona to explore a natural cave formed in laterite. It is believed to have been the residence of the Pandavas from the Mahabharata during their exile. Visitors will also see a tunnel carved in laterite, which is said to lead to a neighboring village.
Next on the itinerary is a mysterious lake in the town of Netravati. Located near the Gopinath Temple and dedicated to Lord Krishna, this lake is renowned for the bubbles that appear on its surface. Even more intriguing is how these bubbles rise when clapping. Is this a miracle of Lord Krishna, or is there a scientific explanation? An archaeologist will provide insights during the visit. - Tanshikar Spice Farm - The final stop is a visit to a spice farm. Tanishkar’s farm is nestled in the rainforest region of the Western Ghats at Netravali village. Guests will tour the spice farm and enjoy a traditional Goan lunch served in earthenware amidst nature.
After lunch, guests will explore the farm and learn about the various spices cultivated there. Once the tour concludes, the driver will return guests to their hotel in Goa.
