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.
Good Service
For the price, St. Augustine Tower is a great value. The climb is a bit tough, but the views are worth it. The historical significance and the ruins around it make for an interesting visit. It's easily accessible, and you can get some great photos. Definitely a good spot to add to your Goa itinerary if you're on a budget.
