If
you embark on a Ponda excursions tour, it will feature the following
tourist attractions:
Ancestral Goa
Sprawling over a nine acre hillock at Loutulim in South Goa, the
Ancestral Goa project is an effort to recreate the rural life of Goa as
it had existed in the days of yore. Essentially a miniature Goan
village, Ancestral Goa is the culmination of the dream and singular
efforts of Goan artist, Maendra J. Alvares.
Colva Beach
Sprawling over an expanse of 20 km, Colva beach is the longest beach in
Goa. Miles of golden sand and shades of palm trees conspire to unfold an
enchanting landscape all around. In contrast to overcrowded beaches like
Anjuna or Miramar brimming with locals and tourists, the Colva beach
comes as a pleasant surprise with its laidback ambience and relatively
sparse crowd.
Kesarval
Spring
Located at the Cortalim village, Mormugao taluka, the waters of the
Kesarval spring are renowned for having medicinal properties. Because of
the supposed curative nature of the spring water, people from the
neighboring areas and faraway places flock the Kesarval spring to purge
their ailments with a bath in the spring's healing waters.
