The South Goa District Administration has issued a strict 60-day ban prohibiting swimming, bathing, diving, cliff-jumping, or entering the water at all waterfalls, rivers, lakes, and abandoned quarries across the region. The safety measure comes in direct response to a surge in seasonal drowning incidents caused by heavy monsoon rains.
South India is a region best explored at a leisurely pace, and there is no better way to take it all in than by rail. As the scenery outside your window shifts from misty hills and sprawling tea plantations to palm-fringed coastlines, roaring waterfalls, and historic towns, the journey itself becomes the destination. Whether you are seeking heritage rail experiences or dramatic coastal views, these eight routes offer some of the finest window-seat moments in the country.
