The Spice Route
Jungle Book (Overnight)

DAY 01: Depart from your hotel and drive through scenic villages to get a taste of traditional Goa.  Stop at interesting sights en route to the jungle where you can see how the people make use of the natural surroundings for their existence and live in bliss and harmony with nature.  After a typical Indian-thali lunch we shall drive down to the extreme east of Goa to Shanti, a tiny hamlet constructed on primitive lines. 

Your accommodation will be in huts with shower and WC.  Shanti is located near the unique and famous National Monument of Lord Shiva in Tambdi Surla. Take a break- sunbathe or take a swim in the silence of the forest.  Enjoy a ride on an elephant or a bullock cart and even swim with the elephant in the cool stream. Have a refreshing drink before you proceed to the Hillbillies Hamlet to share with them a cup of tantalizing herbal tea, mingle with them and experience their lifestyle before returning to a scrumptious dinner around the crackling bonfire.  After dinner, a nature trail with fire torches “a la phantom style” ends at the man made wonder of Goa.  

DAY 02: A refreshing cup of tea / coffee will put you in the mood for a nature trail culminating with a little stretch of light yoga exercises near the temple.  After a traditional Goan breakfast, depart Shanti and en route to the waterfalls you will be engulfed by the scenic beauty as the jeep / train wends its way across the hills and dales surrounded by rich flora and fauna.  At the foot of the waterfalls don’t resist the temptation to take a dip in the cool stream and wash away your tiredness or else feed the monkeys that come along to bid farewell.  Enjoy a delicious lunch before returning back to your hotels.
