Pick up from Hotel after lunch; drive down to Chandor, south of Goa, the ancient capital of Goa during the Kadamba dynasty…. Walk into the Braganza house, the family you will spend time with for a cup of tea… what unfolds will enchant you…. Every stone will spell history and tells a separate story of its colonial past. The palace was built in 1500 by the wealthy Braganza family. After being acquainted with the palace, you drive to a spot where you get the most spectacular view of south Goa, 'Mount Chandreshwar', to see the ancient 2000 years Shiva Temple and there you have a bird's eye view of what Goa is all about.

After the sun set, drive to the most picturesque taluka, Quepem, which the Portuguese conquered in the 17th Century and visit the "PALACIO DO DEAO" which is 213 years old. It was built by a Portuguese noble man who was the Dean of the church and the founder of Quepem town. It is built in an unusual style of architecture, blending Hindu and Portuguese culture. Its lush gardens are also outstanding, more so due to the fact that their historical features have been preserved and since old times, have been known as the most beautiful pleasure gardens in Goa.

A visit to India's second highest waterfall is a must for most visitors to Goa. Enjoy a fabulous day out driving in four wheel drives, through dirt tracks and numerous streams, splashing around in the fresh sparkling water of the stunning DUDHSAGAR WATERFALLS, feeding the local monkeys.

The day starts with a drive across the vibrant state of Goa, passing through small villages, past bright paddy fields and swaying palms as we head for the local wild life sanctuary, where you board four wheel drive jeeps to take you to the waterfalls.

On the journey to the base of the falls, you drive through sun dappled forests, bouncing along dirt tracks and through shimmering streams spraying up glittering showers of water. Pass the scampering monkeys jumping from tree to tree and local families doing their daily washing in the stream.

On reaching the path leading to the falls, you make your way through fantastic scenery, over boulders and bridges fashioned from slender logs merely laid side by side. Mingle with the local children who jumps over the rocks with effortless ease & suddenly you are at the falls itself.

Its time for a swim in the cool clean pool waters and under the cascading streams. Lie down on a smooth rock or just sit under the shade of the trees watching the monkeys.

On your way back stop at a spice farm where you have a sumptuous Goan buffet lunch cooked with selected local spices & also visit an Indian elephant & get an Elephant Ride.
