Nature Trail at Chorao Island
Your hosts
Chorao is one of those Goa places most visitors miss entirely. Tucked into the Mandovi backwaters, this four-hour trail moves through mangroves by boat, past a centuries-old Hindu temple, into the ruins of a Portuguese seminary, and ends at a local tavern with feni cocktails you mix yourself. A Goan breakfast is somewhere in the middle. Pack modest clothes for the temple.
