Geography & terrain
Netravali lies in the Sanguem taluka of Goa, 65 km from Panaji and 15 km from Margao — the bubble-lake village of the region, its springs, the waterfalls and the forest set on the Goa's green south.
History & culture
The village's story runs with the natural springs legend — the village of the Netravali spring lake (the bubbling water of the mystery) and the sacred spring of the Gopinath temple, with the village's modern role as the offbeat stop of the south-Goa circuit and the home of the Savari waterfalls and the 100-foot Savari; the village's history of the temple legends and the forest's leopard life, gives Netravali its spring character.
