5. Photography in Goa: Curdi

After the onset of monsoons, around the month of July, the village of Curdi in Goa gets submerged under water only to surface in the month of April. Walls and structures of earthen material like laterite stones and mud. Alongside hundreds of tulsi Vrindavans attached to the households which existed when once people stayed can still be seen when waters subside from Curdi.

4. Mangroves at Chorao

The river area that surrounds the Mandovi consists of mangrove vegetation. These make for an ideal spot for unique photography in Goa. And it’s not just the great photos either.  Mangrove ecosystems are among the most productive ones known to us. They provide refuge and breeding grounds for several varieties of fish and insects which fall at the base of the food-chain.

 

The “Mangrove Scrub” type of vegetation that is found here occurs in small isolated areas along the banks of Mandovi and Mapusa rivers and also along the Cumbarjua canal.

3. Photography in Goa: Bondava Lake

Looking for an isolated lake to just chill out with your camera? Then this lake in Goa is for you. Bondava lake is basically the reservoir created for Salaulim dam that provides water to the nearby locations for both irrigation and drinking purpose. However, it feels like a mini wildlife sanctuary.

There is a lush green cover all around where many birds and other animals live. Most lakes in Goa are pretty popular, but not Bondava. You can expect almost complete silence alongside the occasional chirping of birds.

2. Fontainhas

The brightly colored streets of Panjim are a perfect scene for photography in Goa. Fontainhas is the oldest Latin Quarter in Goa, very close to the hustle and bustle of Panjim city, but cut off from the same. Flanked by houses painted in blue, yellow and many more colors, Fontainhas gives away a strong Portuguese vibe.

So, think out of the ordinary and add a vintage romantic flavor to your love with photographs at Fontainhas, Goa.

The colorful streets of Goa await you!
