CYCLING TOUR
AT
DIVAR ISLAND
The island of Divar can be
reached by a ferry ride on both sides: the ferry on the north side of the
island is at Old Goa about 7 kms from Panaji and the ferry on the south side is
from Narwe.
The ferries leave quite
frequently throughout the day, unless there is inclement weather in the
monsoons, so there is hardly any chance of being stranded on the island.From
both ferry crossings, the road passes through picture postcard Goan
countryside, full of rice fields and wooded hills, before reaching the village of
Piedade.
Piedade, a small, typical
Goan village is spread at the bottom of a small forested hillock on which there
is the Church of Our Lady of Compassion. Like the island of Chorao, well
maintained, elegant Portuguese villas dot the countryside.
From the top of the hill,
superb panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, including Old Goa and
the meandering Mandovi river can be seen. The famous Bonderam festival is
celebrated in Divar, during the monsoon with great fanfare and attended by
thousands of tourists and locals.
The charm of these
islands, where life seems to have been unchanged for hundreds of years, can
only be seen and experienced by walking or cycling through the countryside. A
few points to be covered are Goa Marriotts, Divji Circle, Crossway, Old GIM,
Ferry Cross, Tour of Divar, Ferry Cross to Old Goa and back to hotel.
