The trail starts at an old site in Goa situated in a little hamlet on the banks of the river Kushavati. The petroglyphs or rock inscriptions from Panasalimal on the banks of river Kushavati date back to the Stone Age. The inscriptions on laterite have a depiction of animals, concentric circles, and human puppets.

Rivona - We proceed to visit the village of Rivona to see a natural cave made of laterite. It is believed to be the home of the Pandavas of the Mahabharata fame, during their exile. We will also visit a tunnel dug in the laterite, which is supposed to open out in the neighboring village.
Next on the tour is a mysterious lake in the town of Netravati. Situated in the vicinity of the Gopinath Temple and devoted to Lord Krishna, this lake is acclaimed for bubbles on its surface. What is considerably queerer is the way that these air pockets rise when we clap. Is this a supernatural occurrence of Lord Krishna? Or then again is there a logical clarification? Our Archaeologist will reveal some insight into this amid the visit. -
Tanshikar Spice Farm - Our last stop will be a visit to a spice farm. Tanishkar’s farm is situated in the rainforest region of Western Ghats at Netravali village. We will visit the spice farm and have a traditional Goan lunch served in earthen vessels surrounded by nature.
After lunch, you will take a tour of the farm and learn about different spices that are grown here. After the completion of your trip our driver will escort you back to your hotel in Goa.
