Mainapi Waterfall Netravali Tourist attraction

One of the best waterfall of Goa..you have to trek for 4km from parking place. It is one of best trek filled with beautiful roads which is easy to walk and the forest department have made small huts inbetween where you can take a break for a while. Will get small springs while trekking. Must visit place please dont litter and avoid swimming in rainy season visit after August September and witness the beautiful forest trails.

Netravali Wildlife sanctuary is a beautiful getaway on weekends for people visiting or staying near Goa and Uttar Kannada regions. We went there from Karwar on Saturday morning . Route to the Sanctuary/Waterfalls It was a one and half hour drive (around 70 Km) from Karwar. The first 30mins were on the highway and another hour in terrain. You need to drive safely as there are many blind turns on the way. Download the maps in advance so that you don't lose the track in no signal zones. Entry and Tickets As you reach the entrance gate of Sanctuary, you will find a ticket counter. Ticket for one person is Rs 100 and for Car is Rs 100 and separate charges for Music system and DSLR camera . We paid the fees and entered the sanctuary. Waterfalls and Forest There are posters pasted in the sanctuary with photos of many wildlife animals but we didn't sight many except Monkeys, birds and Butterflies. Also, there are three waterfalls in the Sanctuary but only two were active when we visited. One was Mainapi waterfall and the other one was Savri waterfall. We decided to go to Mainapi waterfall. Mainapi Waterfall There is a 4km trek to reach the waterfall. To start your trek, first you need to reach the entrance point which is 300m (Kaccha road) from the main road (One KM from the main entrance). Don't follow Google maps here, just look for the hoarding. After reaching the entrance point, you need to park the car and start your trek of 4km towards Mainapi waterfall. Trek is general walking in wide kaccha road in forest for 3.5 km and then 500m of narrow terrain. There are sitting points with Benches and sheds are provided at every 500m. Carry sufficient water as most of the trek is exposed to sunlight. After reaching the waterfall, enjoy the mesmerizing view and swimming (maximum level is 6ft) if you are carrying spare clothes. There is a small temporary room provided near the waterfall to change clothes. Savri Waterfall This waterfall is only 15-20 mins walk from the main road (around 4 km from main entrance). If you are not planning to spend much time in the sanctuary then you can go to this waterfall. We didn't go there but photos suggested that the Mainapi waterfall is more beautiful. You can decide accordingly. Recommendation 1. Start your journey as early as possible to avoid crowd and sunlight. 2. Carry sufficient water for the trek. 3. Carry some snacks as you may feel hungry after swimming. 4. Carry spare clothes for swimming in the waterfall. 5. Download maps in advance as there are many no signal zones. 6. You can follow the Google maps till the main entrance but don't follow inside the sanctuary, it may mislead. 7. Wear appropriate shoes and clothing for the trek. All the best

One of the best waterfall in Goa, Trekking required 4.5 km.. It took me 1 and 15 min to reach there... Best feeling.. Leeches are present on the way so carry salt.. Along with you..

The trek is about 4.5 Kilometer for each side and it took us 1 hour 40 min for each side.The path goes through dense forests where you will witness streams and ponds. The trek is not that easy but also not so hard. You need to carry enough water, atleast 2 litres per person. Don't forget to carry Electrolytes and Energy bars and Bananas which will keep you energized. The water is awesome and the steps that take you to the waterfall are Breathtaking. It is ideal for a group of friends and I think it is not ideal for family as everyone can't maintain a same pace and also go through the terrain route.

One of the great places to visit in South Goa. This place is very less crowded. Roads to this place from palolem beach is in very good condition. One has to download offline as network availability is not there. It took around one and half hour to reach the waterfalls from the parking area. One has to go through path with continuous elevation in the mid of forest. There are 3-4 water streams that one can encounter along the path. sign boards are there to guide. Some fitness is definitely necessary. Average people may find it difficult to trek, especially when humidity is high. And don't forget to carry some water and some fruits with you. Wear good shoes while trekking. Waterfall is itself is a wonder. Water is very cold and very tasty . During trekking there are some benches where one can rest.

It's beautiful fall , It opens morning at 8'o clock It's recommend to go before 12'o clock as it's less crowded. You walk to for 4.5 kms No shops are available in side Take umbrella with you .

It's a beautiful waterfall in Netravali sanctuary, it's an easy Trek for initial 5kms and last 30-40 steps are a bit steep, can be easily done with kids too.

A beautiful scenic waterfall in Netravali wildlife sanctuary. The entry charges are 100 rps per person and 100 for each 4 wheeler if you are taking your car inside the park. The trek to this waterfall is around 5 km and will take 1.5 hours to reach there. The water beneath the waterfall is deep so get into the waters only if you know to swim. Overall a lovely experience for a day trek
