Heart lake 💙

                                                       Heart lake💙        Heart lake is a very unique lake in Goa. So now the question arises is what makes it so unique??? Well the answer lies in its name, this Natural lake is in the form of a heart. Situated at the rock beach of Chicolna, in Vasco da Gama. The way to the lake is a narrow rocky pathway , so you have to walk around 10-12 mins to reach there.  The lake is surrounded by Goan scenic beauty. I felt calm and at peace as it is less crowded as compared to any other attractions in Goa.  It's a real hidden gem , as hardly people know about it.

Mangroves Boardwalk panjim

                                        Mangroves boardwalk Panjim   We learn a lot about environment in our student life but we forget to apply the science in practical life. One of the important topic is mangroves, which are seen all over the state of Goa. They are mostly seen on Mandovi, Zuari rivers and their tributaries in North Goa and Sal river in South Goa. The main motive behind creating mangroves boardwalk Panjim was to ensure that people become aware of how important mangroves are to environment.  They play an important role in protecting the coastal ecosystem from heavy floods and damage, which many of us are unaware of. They are perfect home to different species of plants, animals and marine life. They are also a rich source of oxygen as they absorb 8 times more carbon dioxide from atmosphere than any other plant.

Atal Setu Goa

                                            Atal Setu Goa Goa is not only famous for beaches but also for the unique bridges. If one visits beaches i think u shouldn't miss out on bridges. One of the recently constructed bridge is Atal setu, the third Mandovi Bridge. It was inaugurated in January 2019 by the honorable chief minister late Manohar Parrikar.  Its a cable bridge that runs from Panjim to Porvorim. The bridge is 5 Km long, which makes it the third longest cable bridge in whole India. The main idea behind construction of this bridge is to directly reach porvorim without obstruction of massive traffic jam in Panjim  and also to expand NH 66. The cable bridge has special LED emitting lights that operate in a linear motion. The different eye catchy colors  emitted by the LED are very attractive. At night  view with the reflection of these lights in Man...
