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.

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.
