Delights of the Goan monsoon.
Canacona, the southernmost district of Goa, has it all: lush fields, forests, wildlife, mountains, rivers, ruins, charming hamlets, and secluded beaches. Until 2000 it was unknown to the outside world. Then Matt Damon came along and discovered Palolem beach in the 2004 movie, The Bourne Supremacy. And later the Instagram era arrived and with it the ‘bucket list’ savages.
I had once pitched the idea of designating Canacona a protected State Park to the then-Chief Minister of Goa but the IIT-miseducated fellow was uninterested. On the other hand, if I had proposed something involving steel & concrete…
Monsoon is a glorious experience in Canacona. Be sure to watch the video short below.

Sajo & Premanand – Glad to hear from you both.
Work of supreme quality. Greenery is so astounding.
Pristine! Goa of my memories. Video was the best.
The blues in the first photo are splendid and really make the shot in my opinion. The drone footage is gorgeous. I can understand why you like the venue.
Thank you, Bob.
Music (Raga) made me watch it few more times. mesmerizing.
Good to hear.
Gautam and Prashanth – thank you.
Blessed is the land, Rajan. That video is just a delight to the senses. Now, if only we could all also smell that refreshing monsoon-saline air…
Not to mention the humidity.
What an outstanding compilation!
Beautiful photography
Except protected areas everything is for auction and getting sold very fast. These images would be useful for future. Thanks to Dr RP.
Good to hear from you, Professor Kamat.
