Introduction to Valvanti River

Nestled in the heart of the Western Ghats, the Valvanti River is a hidden gem that weaves its way through the lush landscapes of Goa and Maharashtra. Originating in the dense Chorla forest, this river embarks on a journey that is as serene as it is adventurous. As it flows, it feeds the majestic Vazra Sakla waterfalls, a 143-meter twin cascade that thunders down rocky cliffs, creating a symphony of nature that is home to critically endangered long-billed vultures. The Valvanti River then merges with the Sakhali River and eventually meets the Mhadei River, forming a vital part of the region's ecosystem. This river's path is a testament to the untouched beauty of the Western Ghats, offering a glimpse into a world where nature's splendor remains unspoiled and vibrant.

Amazing Service

Our visit to the St. Augustine Tower was a deeply romantic and introspective experience. The tower's solitude amidst the ruins created a poignant backdrop for our stroll. The panoramic views were breathtaking, and the quiet moments we shared here were truly special. It's a place where time stands still, and love feels eternal.
