Pandava Caves

Tucked away in the verdant landscapes of North Goa, the Pandava Caves, also known as the Arvalem Caves, are a testament to the region's rich historical and mythological tapestry. Located near the picturesque Arvalem Falls in Sanquelim, these ancient rock-cut caves whisper tales of the past, their granite walls bearing the silent witness of centuries. As you step into these five small, hollow chambers, the air thick with the scent of aged stone and the faint hint of monsoon rains, you're transported to an era where the Pandava brothers of the Mahabharata are said to have sought refuge. The caves' intricate carvings and the nearby Rudreshwar Temple add to the mystique, while the roar of the Arvalem Waterfalls in the distance creates a symphony that blends history, mythology, and natural beauty in a unique and captivating way.
