Introduction to Bondava lake
Tucked away in the verdant heart of North Goa, Bondava Lake, also known as Bondvol or Bonda Lake, is a serene oasis that whispers tales of a bygone era. This 110-year-old man-made reservoir, crafted during the Portuguese period, is nestled within a 9.365-hectare submergence basin, surrounded by hills that funnel rain and spring water into its tranquil waters. The lake's unique hydrology and the villagers' careful maintenance of an earthen embankment create a natural haven. After a brief period of desiccation, community efforts have restored this gem, transforming it into a mini wildlife sanctuary where lush greenery envelops the lake, and the gentle chirps of birds punctuate the silence. Here, nature lovers can immerse themselves in a world of migratory birds, exotic animals, and the soothing tranquility that only such a hidden gem can offer.
