Pali Waterfall

Pali Waterfall, also known as Shivling Waterfall, is a seasonal cascade located in the village of Pali near Valpoi in North Goa's Sattari taluka. Situated within the Mhadei Wildlife Sanctuary ecosystem, it is best visited during the monsoon season when water flow is at its peak. Access requires a moderate trek of approximately 2 to 3 kilometers through dense forest and stream crossings. The site features a natural pool and a distinctive rock formation resembling a Shivling at its base.

Visitors can expect a moderate trek through lush semi-evergreen forests involving slippery rocks and multiple stream crossings. The waterfall is seasonal and most impressive from June to September. At the base, there is a natural pool for bathing, though safety precautions are necessary due to underwater rocks. Facilities are limited; visitors must carry their own food and water. Local guides are often available in Pali village to navigate the unmarked trails. Leeches are common during the monsoon.

The waterfall features a rock formation at its base locally revered as a Shivling, giving it the alternate name Shivling Waterfall and cultural significance to local communities.
