MALVAN DIARIES: An unforgettable journey
A Memorable Trip to Malvan
During the Christmas vacation, my family and I embarked on a trip to Masure village in Malvan, which is my aunt’s native place. This picturesque village is known for its rich history, mesmerizing forts, and serene rivers, making it an ideal getaway.
My aunt’s house is located near a beautiful river, which adds to the charm of the place. The house itself is an old-style construction, yet it exudes beauty and tranquility, offering a peaceful retreat from the busy city life.
Our journey began from Margao railway station, where around 9 to 10 family members gathered. We boarded the Mandovi Express at 9 AM and enjoyed the train ride by singing, playing games, and indulging in delicious snacks. By 12 PM, we reached Kankavli station, where our cousin was waiting to pick us up. From there, we took a rickshaw, and after an hour’s ride, we finally arrived at my aunt’s home. The first sight of the place, with its scenic river view and traditional house, was truly impressive.
After freshening up, we had a hearty lunch and took some rest. In the evening, we sat in the veranda, savoring tender coconuts and chatting while enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Later, we played cards, adding to the fun-filled atmosphere. On the same day decided to visit a nearby beach. The place was incredibly calm, with soft sand and gentle waves lapping at the shore. The peaceful atmosphere, away from the usual crowds, made it a perfect spot to relax and unwind. We spent time feeling the cool breeze and watching the sun slowly set over the horizon.
The next day, after breakfast, we set out on foot to visit a nearby fort. Walking under the scorching sun for 45 minutes was tiring, but the sight of the historic fort made it all worthwhile. We explored the area, clicked pictures, and returned home. Later in the evening, we visited a nearby bridge, soaking in the scenic beauty.
On the final day, after lunch , we packed our bags and prepared for our return journey. We boarded the 4 PM train to Goa, relishing vada pav and other snacks along the way. By 7 PM, we reached Margao, exhausted yet filled with wonderful memories. The beauty and charm of Malvan left a lasting impression on all of us, making this trip truly unforgettable.
