* Road trip to Goa

Drive to offbeat locations in Goa, viz. Budbudyanchi Tali, Tamdi Surla, Reis Magos Fort

Budbudyanchi Tali, means the lake of bubbles. It's an absolutely off beat location in south Goa for any roadie.  There are bubbles coming out from the bottom to the surfacce naturally. Nobody has yet been able to identify the reason for it.

In north Goa, one can visit Tamdi Surla, an ancient Shiva temple. It is within the Mahavir Sanctuary.

Still closer to Panjim is Reis Magos Fort, free of people who visit Fort Aguada. Reis Magos Fort overlooks the city of Panjim. A weird fact is you can see the city from the ramparts of the fort. But the fort itself is pretty hidden when looked at from the city.
