Raitollem Lake
Tucked away in the quaint village of Curtorim in South Goa, Raitollem Lake is a hidden gem that whispers tales of natural beauty and local lore. This serene oasis, nestled just beside the main road, is a tapestry of lush greenery, with trimmed bushes and clustered trees that create a woody terrain perfect for a leisurely stroll. As you breathe in the fresh, earthy fragrance, the soft rustle of leaves and the chirping of migratory birds transport you to a world far from the hustle and bustle of city life.The lake's tranquil waters are home to a fascinating story: two rocks, meticulously cared for by the locals, are believed to be the transformed remains of star-crossed lovers who met their fate here. The water's level, locals claim, never rises above these rocks, adding a touch of mystique to this already enchanting spot. Whether you're here to spot cranes and other birds diving for fish, explore the surrounding fields, or simply soak in the peace, Raitollem Lake is a must-visit for anyone seeking an authentic Goan experience.
