People on Goanet!
It's the monsoons, and we've finally woken up from our yearlong hibernation!
WildGoa announces it's first outdoor event this season. Enjoy a walk on
the wild side at Narvem. Tontem is a tiny hamlet in the village of
Narvem, located north of the Island of Chorao. We start with a ferry
ride across to Chorao. After a leisure ride across the island, we stop a
little before Tontem and walk along the village roads, passing a Teerth
(a hindu shrine), to a tiny hillock. We then make our way to the
mangroves to spot the riverine bird life on the banks of one of the many
Mandovi rivulets towards Tontevaddo. We finally end at the Dias home
where we would sit at the balcao for an informal discussion with tea and
muffins.
Remember! This is not a picnic, but rather a different way of
appreciating nature and the outdoors. WildGoa always brings back it's
trash, so absolutely no littering.
