Arvalam Waterfalls OR Harvalem falls
Overview
Goa is a land of the most gorgeous waterways and mountains. The Arvalem Waterfalls also known as the Harvalem falls, in Goa, is considered as one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Goa and attracts travelers and revelers around the clock.

It is situated at about 2km from the small town of Sanquelim and 8kms from Bicholim, in North Goa. The waterfall is very scenic and is a beautiful picnic spot. This charming waterfall is a mind-blowing experience, with Rudreshwar temple in its vicinity. The temple holds importance for the Hindus who believe in releasing the soul on the 12th day after death.

While leaving the temple of Rudreshwar, one can descend the staircase to look at a majestic waterfall shedding its exuberant silvery showers all year long and mesmerizing the crowds. You will be awestruck with the thunderous gush of water cascading down the rocky cliffs.
