Trekking in Goa

A paradise away from the bustling metro city life, Goa is a haven surrounded by lush green flora and beautiful beaches. Even though Goa is popular mainly for its beaches, cuisine and clubs, trekking in Goa may just be the new beach getaway option you must explore.

With expansive views of green and breath-taking waterfalls hidden within the heart of Goa, trekking in Goa will unravel these exotic destinations. Popular trekking places in Goa include the Dudhsagar Falls, Ravan Dongor Peak, Neuti and Arambol beaches.

Trek to Dudhsagar Waterfalls

The Dudhsagar waterfalls at nearly 1017 ft tall, is one of the most popular trekking places in Goa. ‘Dudhsagar’, literally translates to ‘Sea of Milk’, owing to its pristine white water that descends over several levels to meet at the bottom, forming a picturesque view. Prepare for quite a bit of travel to this location as the waterfall is positioned on the border of Karnataka and Goa on the Mandovi River.

This uphill trek along the railway tracks is accompanied with a journey through the tropical forests and overgrown trails. End this trek with a cool dip in one of the natural swimming holes.

Uphill Trek to Ravan Dongor Peak

At 3000 feet above sea level, the Ravan Dongor Peak Trek is one of those lesser known trekking places in Goa. Perfect for seasoned trekkers, the Ravan Dongor Peak is known to be the third highest peak in the state. This upward journey through lush green flora and tropical trees offers beautiful views of the Netravali Wildlife Sanctuary from the peak.

Spectacular views of the vast ocean on a clear sunny day complete this experience, while the natural swimming pool at the bottom of the peak will leave you feeling refreshed as the journey ends here. If you are someone who likes to explore the city at ease, then you would surely enjoy our cycling trips in Goa.

Ocean trek to Neuti

Among the lesser known trekking places in Goa, is the Neuti beach ocean trek. Home to the historic Neuti fort constructed by Shivaji, this day trek offers serene views of the Arabian Sea while trailing along the hillside to uncover smaller coves and estuaries in the area. The rich tropical surroundings are coupled with views of the Vengurla Rocks and Bhogwe beach.

This trip starts off with a light breakfast while local refreshments will be provided to cool you off as the trek progresses. While ocean treks make for the perfect adventure, you might also want to check out some of the best things to do in Goa while you’re here.

Ocean Trek in Arambol

A must visit destination when trekking in Goa, Arambol beach trek is a great trip for adventure lovers and explorers alike.

You will experience magnificent views of the Arabian Sea as well as be able to take a refreshing dip in the smaller freshwater lakes around the sea.

Away from the hustle of commercial beaches in Goa, this destination also offers paragliding. While trekking in Goa is enjoyable all-year-round, the monsoons are considered ideal for this trek as the warm air and surrounding greens make it one not to miss.
