Goa is known for its lush vegetation, stunning beaches and magnificent architecture. It is a much-preferred destination for all Indian and international travellers. If you are looking to branch out during your vacation in Goa, you can take a road trip from the beach destination.

Below we give you a list of picturesque road trips you can take from Goa.

Dandeli

One of the best getaways from Goa is the adventure destination of Dandeli. It offers ample activities like river rafting, bird watching, nature walking and cave exploration. Furthermore, you can also get up close with wildlife at the Dandeli Wildlife Sanctuary. The 3-hour drive from Goa to Dandeli is definitely worth the effort owing to the stunning scenery you will encounter on the way.

Chorla Ghats

Take a long drive to the tranquil roads of Chorla with the two-lane roads of the highway serving as the ideal roads for a flatter drive.

The Ghats also house multiple waterfalls like Harvalem and Vazira Shakira, among others.
