Curtorim Lake
Tucked away in the verdant heart of South Goa, Curtorim Lake is a hidden gem that whispers tales of ancient water management and vibrant ecological harmony. Nestled in the picturesque village of Curtorim, often dubbed the "granary of Salcete," this lake is part of a centuries-old network of man-made water bodies crafted on saline marsh lands. As you meander along its banks, the gentle lapping of water against the shore and the chirping of migratory birds like kites and kingfishers create a symphony of serenity. The lake's proximity to the historic St. Alex Church and the lush fields that stretch as far as the eye can see, makes it a perfect blend of natural beauty and cultural richness. Here, the past and present converge, offering a tranquil escape from the bustling world, and a glimpse into Goa's unique agricultural and piscicultural heritage.

Mala Lake is a hidden gem for any solo adventurer The trek around the lake is exhilarating, with secret spots and breathtaking views waiting to be discovered. I found this awesome terrace on my last day that offered a panoramic view of the lake – it was like stumbling upon a treasure. The area is full of surprises, and I couldn't get enough of the thrill and beauty it has to offer.
