REFRESHING ABUNDANCE

Tucked deep inside the Mhadei forest, Brahma Karmali isn't just a waterfall, it's nature secret hidden in plain sight. Here, every leaf and drop invite you to revel in nature's abundance.

TAKE GUIDED TRAILS

No maps. No shortcuts. Best is to catch hold of forest or trail guides, who will help you unlock this secluded monsoon treasure.

WILD HEART OF GOA

Trek past gushing streams and at times muddy trails. And when you listen to the birdsongs and occasional monkey calls, every step will feel like a page from a jungle book.

CASCADES THAT SING

Feel the magic of being one with nature. It is like witnessing nature's orchestra when the water splashes onto the rocks and meanders forward.

LEAVE ONLY FOOTPRINTS

No crowds. No noise. Just you, the forest, and a reminder that the best places are the ones that stay wild and untouched when left free of plastics. Which means, please take your trash back!
