Nestled near Cortalim village on the Verna plateau, Kesarval Spring Verna Waterfall is renowned for its refreshing waters and serene ambiance. Known for its medicinal properties, the spring attracts visitors seeking relaxation and rejuvenation.
A Refreshing Escape Amidst Nature
The name “Kesarval” originates from the eagles that once nested in the surrounding forested slopes, adding a touch of history to this tranquil spot. The waterfall is most captivating during the monsoon season when the water cascades down the rocky terrain, forming a natural pool. The lush greenery and terraced hills create a peaceful atmosphere, perfect for nature lovers and photographers.
Plan Your Visit
The ideal time to experience the beauty of Kesarval Spring is during the monsoon season, from July to September when the waterfall is at its fullest. However, visitors are advised to be cautious as the pathways can become slippery. The post-monsoon months also offer a pleasant visit, with the water flow still active and the surrounding greenery at its peak.
Accessible via a well-paved route from Panaji, around 22 kilometers away, the site is ideal for a quiet getaway. Visitors can reach the destination by local bus, taxi, or bike. The well-paved route over the Zuari Bridge makes the journey convenient.
While the area offers limited facilities, visitors are encouraged to bring their own snacks and maintain cleanliness to preserve the natural beauty. Nearby attractions like the historic Santana Church and the ancient Mormugao and Rachol forts provide added exploration opportunities.
