Description
Tambdi Surla isn't just another monsoon trail, it's a walk into one of Goa's oldest surviving stories. Deep in the Western Ghats sits a 12th-century temple carved from a single piece of basalt, the only one of its kind in the state, standing quietly in a forest that the monsoon turns into something almost otherworldly. From there, the trail follows gushing streams and dense foliage to a natural cascade, guided by a naturalist who helps you actually see the forest rather than just walk through it. It's history, wilderness, and monsoon magic in one trail, and a lunch spread to match. What makes this tour special: Visit an ancient Kadamba temple carved from a single piece of basalt Walk through lush forests at the foothills of the Western Ghats Spot unique flora, fauna, and living species along the trail Learn from an expert naturalist as you go Take a dip in a natural water cascade Indulge in a traditional, authentic Goan lunch spread

Loved it
Lovely trek through a semi-wild trail. Ashmita was our guide and she was very generous with sharing her knowledge about the native flora and fauna. We have to cross 4 streams to reach a tiny cascade and a natural pool.

Monsoon and everything in between
Wonderful experience, right from the start! You should visit this experience during monsoon, it adds up to the aesthetics.

Great culinary experience with soul travelling.
Absolutely loved our culinary experience with Soul Travelling in Goa ✨ From learning traditional Goan recipes step by step to understanding the local cooking style, everything was so well planned. Karan explained every detail so nicely and made the entire session very engaging for us. Special thanks to Sairaj as well for coordinating everything so smoothly and creating such a friendly atmosphere. One of the most wholesome experiences we had in Goa ❤️ Highly recommended

Learnt traditional Goan dishes from scratch — fun, interactive and memorable experience
Had such a lovely experience with Soul Travelling’s culinary trail in Goa ❤️ We learnt 2 authentic Goan dishes completely from scratch and honestly it felt less like a workshop and more like cooking with friends. Huge shoutout to Karan for guiding us so patiently throughout the experience and making everything super fun and interactive. Also thanks to Sairaj for warm hospitality. If you love food and want to experience Goa beyond beaches, this is definitely something you should try!
