Overview
The Salaulim Dam sits on the banks of the Saulim River which is a tributary of the Zuari River. Located 5km from Sanguem Town, it is interesting to note that the entire drinking water of South Goa comes from here. The dam is spread on an area more than 24 sq. km and offers pleasant break from the beaches.
Suggested Duration - 2-3 hours
What To Expect?
Observe the unending, vast expanse of water running down through a semi-circular outlet as it cascades 50ft down at the first level and then splashes again to a 100ft deep chasm. As it hits the riverbed, it creates a lovely mist cover. Do indulge in birdwatching in the backwaters of the dam and spot the occasional Pied Kingfishers and Cormorants.
Tips
- The dam is open from 9 am to 6 pm.
- Recommended to carry your own eatables.
- Visit the Botanical Gardens in the vicinity when here
Exploring a destination...
The joy of travel comes in exploring new things. Planting your feet somewhere you’ve never been before brings with it the rush of discovery and the joy of pushing back on the boundaries of your world.
But when one does arrive at that fresh frontier, there are ways better than others to begin your journey of discovery. Follow these steps and see the world with a new light.
• Discover a new city through a food tour. Food tour’s are the easiest way to take a tour, learn about the local delicacies, and the best of all, get great tips that aren’t just “local” tips for tourists, but sometimes, lessons for a lifetime too
• Use Public Transportation. When you are in a new city, you can possibly see places and people that you wouldn’t normally see when simply walking to the places that checks your list. Some buses or rails take you to parts of the city you wouldn’t get to see otherwise. Whilst using public transportation, just ensure that you are following the local norms and do remember to watch the locals!
• Find a local festival. Go beyond what other tourists might do while visiting a place. Look for the unique things you would want to do. Use social media or the local tourism website to find out what’s going on locally. You may have to move out of the center of the city to do some of the less popular but more unique things, so just keep that in mind!
