Harvalem Waterfalls

Very beautiful place to visit. Of course there is not so much water falling in February, but the nature around is great. The view from up the stairs is mesmerizing 😃

Very very beautiful view,During monsoon the waterfall looks incredible, surrounded by the greenery. Just a few steps from the temple,you can either choose to sit on one of the benches under the shade of the big trees close to the falls or go right down to the falls, where you have to wade through a stream to get through to the falls, It's not a popular traveling place but all the way towards this place is beautiful. What impressed me the most was the unspoiled and natural setting of Harvalem Waterfall. Unlike some touristy waterfalls, this one remained relatively untouched, allowing visitors to experience the raw beauty of the place. The rocks around the waterfall can be slippery, so it's essential to be careful while trekking and swimming. We found very less crowd and visit was worthy. It very well connected also by car

Harvalem Waterfalls is one of the most beautiful waterfalls near Goa. It is located in Sanquelim, Goa. We visited during the monsoons and it was majestic.
During monsoons, the water flows very heavily and public are not allowed near the base of the waterfall. There is a temple too which is under renovation I believe.
Parking is available and there is a small shop near the entrance that serves Maggi, hot beverages and other snacks.
This is a must visit place during the monsoon period to witness nature at its best.

Very beautiful and big waterfall in goa... located next to Shree Rudreshwar temple..
Best place for photography also very cool and green place..
Evening time is best time to visit and if ur on 2 wheeler do try to go from other road which leads u directly to temple ask locals otherwise from google maps it will take to stairs road which is like 50 steps

Marvelous 😍.. an excellent water flow... It's a good look to view.... The only thing is you climb down and up using steps for 20 mins to reach the bottom...

Really I enjoy too much. Very very beautiful view. I have no words to explain its beauty I want to take bath there but there is no permission to bath also there is so much water due to monsoon,but at staircase automatically water from the waterfall showers on us. There is a big area for parking so we did not face any problem of parking. It is filled of greenery every where because of rainy season .

the magical Harvalem Waterfalls in Goa was an awe-inspiring experience! From the ancient caves to the majestic temple of Lord Shiva, and the intriguing connections with the Pandavas, every moment was filled with wonder. And let's not forget about spotting a crocodile at Dudhsagar or getting lost in the enchanting misty surroundings. Absolutely unforgettable!"

Beautiful. Its a small but beautiful place. There is a temple and a waterfall. You can not swim in this waterfall. You can only see it and click pitures here.

Harvalem Waterfalls, nestled in the heart of Goa's lush countryside, is a natural wonder that captivates the senses and offers an enchanting escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.

The journey to Harvalem Waterfalls itself is an adventure, as you wind your way through picturesque Goan villages and dense forests. The drive, while slightly challenging, adds to the overall charm of the experience. Upon arrival, the sight of the falls gushing down from the rocky cliffs is nothing short of awe-inspiring.

The falls, especially during the monsoon season, are at their resplendent best. The sheer force and volume of water crashing into the pool below create a mesmerizing spectacle. The lush greenery surrounding the falls adds to its ethereal beauty, making it a photographer's paradise. The sound of cascading water combined with the chirping of birds creates a soothing symphony, making it an ideal place for nature lovers to unwind.

For those seeking adventure, a hike to the bottom of the falls offers an adrenaline rush. The path can be a bit steep and slippery, so sturdy footwear is recommended.

One drawback to note is that the accessibility to Harvalem Waterfalls can be challenging for individuals with mobility issues, and the site may get crowded during peak tourist seasons.

In conclusion, Harvalem Waterfalls is a natural wonder that combines adventure, serenity, and cultural richness. It's a place where you can reconnect with nature, immerse yourself in history, and create lasting memories.

Highly Recommended.

Harvalem is the Lord Shivas place its the most sacred worship place.

Alon with the beautiful waterfall you will find a beautiful temple of Lord Shiva.

After death ceremonies are carried at the river ghats. So be careful and maintain the serenity of the place.

Maintain the respect and love for Lord Shiva by avoiding non veg, alcohol, weeds, tobacco..

For Shiva the energy of the world, the one who created this beautiful world.

Be careful the depth of the water where the waterfall is almost 60 feet mostly rocks. The pressure is tremendous.

Avoid swimming. Good for photography.
You will get Maggi and Tea at the site.

Don't forget to pray and take blessings of lord Shiva.

Beautiful waterfall located in the vicinity of Shri Rudreshwar temple. During monsoon the waterfall looks incredible, surrounded by the greenery. Just a few steps from the temple and you can see the waterfall. If you are visiting, do keep the place clean.

Its a very nice waterfall if you are in Bicholim, goa. It has very nice view and even you can go on the right side where water flow will be less and then you can enjoy in the water over there.

Beauty in old Goa. A must visit especially during monsoon season. If you have visited Jabalpur's Dhuadhaar falls, you will be welcomed the same, Misty wind with freshness of nature. Where AQI is 20. Just visit and enjoy the view. It was difficult to get pictures there due to water mist on the phone camera. Sharing some of the other side of the waterfall & yes you can take your 2/4 wheelers, there is parking as well and a small shop for enjoying tea coffee & pakodas.

My favourite place, my god shri Rudreshwar, om namah shivaya, tirth shetra, very calming n peaceful, must visit in rainy season to rudravtar of waterfall in month of August September.

A not so popular tourist destination in Goa.
Good to view the waterfall during monsoons.
Here all types of after death rituals are performed.
Rudreshwar temple is located here.
Lot of crowd during Mahashivratri

"This is one of North Goa's finest waterfalls, easily accessible for viewing, although swimming is prohibited. The ideal time to visit is during the monsoon season; in the summer, not a single drop of water can be seen. It's a must-add destination to your bucket list."

One of the most underrated spots in Goa. Many people go for Dudhsagar falls which takes the whole day. But this fall is so beautiful and majestic. One should not miss this.

What a magical place in monsoon. The water droplets come to ur face and make u all wet. It's not a popular traveling place but all the way towards this place is beautiful. We couldn't go inside the water as it was too aggressive in the rain but it was still worth visiting

Located in an isolated place, it is a beautiful visit.
The location, the view everything is serene!

Definitely worth the visit!!

Once you take down a beautiful flight of stairs, you will reach this ultra gorgeous waterfall. Little offbeat. Massively gorgeous. The waterfall has loads of water. The sound is so loud and musical. Next to it is a beautiful temple as well. There are small shops as well which sells maggi, vada pao, chai coffee. A bhuttawala is there as well and the his roasted bhuttas were really amazing. It’s heartbreaking to see garbage around. Pls keep the area clean. Kindly do not litter.
