Discover Revora

Revora offers travelers three distinct points of interest: Dashi Lake, two sites of historical and aesthetic significance, and activities on the Chapora River. If you are looking for a hotel in Revora, these themes can shape your choice of destination: a connection with nature, the historical context of named sites, or an experience on the water. The following sections present these areas side by side to help you consider the location in light of the purpose of your trip.

Dashi Lake: Wetland and Biodiversity

Dashi Lake, also known as Dashiche tollem, is a 6,089-square-meter body of water in the village of Revora in Bardez, North Goa. The 2021 wetland notification published by the Government of Goa highlights its particular importance for ecosystem services and biodiversity. The area figure describes its size, while its ecological importance highlights another aspect of the lake. For travelers who factor nature into their choice of location, Dashi Lake is a specific point of interest in Revora. Its theme differs from that of the historical and aesthetic sites and the activities described on the river.

Historical and Aesthetic Sites

Goa’s 2010 published list includes the Hanuman Temple and Our Lady of Victory Church in Revora among the buildings and sites of historical and aesthetic significance whose preservation is considered desirable. Their shared classification gives the two names a clear cultural point of reference. For your travel planning, the focus here is the historical and aesthetic context of the named sites; for Dashi Lake, it is ecological importance. The years refer to different details: 2010 is the year the list was published, and 2021 is the year of the wetland notification concerning the lake.

Kayak Tour Through the Backwaters

This guided kayaking experience takes you through the backwaters of the Chapora River in Revora with a naturalist. The route passes through dense mangrove tunnels and hidden river channels; lightweight fiberglass kayaks are used. Being accompanied by a naturalist gives this experience a different emphasis from the motorized activities on the river. Route conditions may vary, and equipment details may change. Before your trip, check whether the experience is available and ask about current route conditions.

Motorized Activities on the Chapora River

Stoke India offers motorized one-wheeling on the Chapora River in Revora, North Goa, as well as motorized jetboarding on the Chapora River in Revora. When choosing between the water activities, the type of offering is one specific difference: a guided kayak tour through the backwaters or motorized one-wheeling or jetboarding. Before your trip, check the current availability of Stoke India’s activities.

Nature or Activity on the Water?

The connection to water in Revora has two distinct sides: Dashi Lake is associated with ecological importance and biodiversity, while kayaking and motorized offerings are the focus on the Chapora River. The nature connection centers on the body of water itself, while the activity connection centers on the described experiences on the river.
