Best time to visit

Though the gushing waterfall is always a true delight to watch, the best time to visit Harvalem waterfall is a monsoon. During this time, the waterfall is in its full glory and gushed down with an undomesticated flow. The weather is also balmy and pleasant during this time and you will not be busy sweeping off the sweat throughout the travel. Monsoon hits this part of the world during the months of June to September. Though you can see the waterfall in its full force during this time, you need to be extra careful while traveling as roads can be slippery during this time.

  • The packages totally depend upon the traveling period. During peak time, usually, charges are up around 10%.
  • As the waterfall lies in North Goa, it is better to book a travel agency that operates within the same vicinity as pickup and drop from South Goa is no available.
