Chorla Ghat

Chorla Ghat (near Goa) is located exactly on the north-eastern side of the Goa-Karnataka-Maharashtra boundaries, Chorla ghat is in fact a virtual paradise in the monsoon. Being a part of the Western Ghats and the Sahyadris, Chorla ghat boasts of a lush green deciduous forest spread all over its region.

The Nature Conservation Facility has been established at Chorla Ghats to facilitate research and long term monitoring of the Western Ghats of the Sahyadris region and their biodiversity and is an attempt to provide a platform for ecologists and wildlife biologists by way of fully equipped field station for this area.

You will find not one, not two, but many waterfalls of different heights here and there. During monsoon roads tend to make a heavenly-looking passage, covered with thick fog all the time which keeps on swaying with the wind. Sometimes disappearing, sometimes showing up, the dusky route could keep you in ambiguity.

Goa is usually known for its beaches, churches and temples, but the locals and tourists flocking in Goa throughout the year should also find some time to marvel on this forest and ghat beauty.
