The Goa Tourism Development Corporation (GTDC) is organising its next Monsoon Trekking Expedition to Charavane in Sattari Taluka on Sunday, July 13, 2025. With the monsoons rejuvenating Goa’s hinterlands, the trail to Charavane offers trekkers an immersive experience through one of the state’s most scenic and biodiverse regions.
Spread across a total distance of 8 kilometres, the Charavane trek offers a blend of natural beauty and adventure. The route winds through lush green forests, flowing streams, and varied terrain that includes steep climbs and slippery rock patches. Trekkers can expect to witness nature in its full glory – from fluttering butterflies and birdsong to breathtaking landscapes untouched by urban noise. This moderately challenging trail is perfect for nature lovers, photography enthusiasts, and those with an adventurous spirit. The trek program is done in collaboration with the Forest Department, Government of Goa & Goa Forest Development Corporation.
The GTDC has made transport arrangements from various parts of Goa to ensure accessibility. Buses will depart from Margao Residency and Mapusa Residency at 7:30 AM, and from Paryatan Bhavan, Patto at 8:30 AM. En route pick-up points include Birla Junction in Verna, Cortalim, Porvorim, Banasthari, and Honda. The registration fee for the expedition is ₹1400 per person, inclusive of taxes. The cost covers transport, breakfast, lunch, and the services of trained professional nature guides who will accompany the group throughout the trek.
Interested participants are advised to carry rainwear, a change of clothes, trekking shoes, snacks, and binoculars to make the most of this experience. Smoking and alcohol consumption are strictly prohibited during the trek. The activity is not recommended for those who are physically unfit, as certain stretches involve steep and slippery terrain.
GTDC invites all nature lovers and adventure seekers to be a part of this monsoon trekking experience and discover the serene, verdant beauty of Goa beyond its coastline.
