Introduction to Raitollem Lake
Tucked away in the charming village of Curtorim in South Goa, Raitollem Lake is a hidden gem that whispers secrets 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 like Cattle Egrets and Kingfishers transport you to a world far from the hustle and bustle of city life. The lake's tranquil waters, home to fascinating fish species and local fishing activities, are also steeped in myth, with two meticulously cared-for rocks believed to be the transformed remains of star-crossed lovers. Here, nature lovers, birdwatchers, and families can soak in the peace and authenticity of a true Goan experience, especially during the cool winter months from October to March.
