Early morning drive to Chorla Ghat, Goa
Aug 2023: Visited Chorla Ghat again after 8 years. The drive was amazing- could enter Karnataka as I drove in own car- but roads were bad once we entered Karnataka and all waterfalls were closed, so entering Karnataka didn't serve any purpose. Drove back and visited Brahma Karmali and Shivling waterfalls. Amboli ghat that we visited previous day had more attractions accessible to visitors.

Chorla ghat is a scenic road that connects Goa to Belagavi (Belgaum). While majority of the traffic goes through Ponda, Mollem, Londa, Chorla ghat is the more scenic one, though a bit narrow.
On one of the morning, we simply drove till Karnataka border from Goa and came back (because our rented self drive car didn't have permit to cross over- Karnataka police didn't have any problem, it is Goa check post who had some problem. (more about Carzonrent Goa experience here)
None the less, the drive was fun. As it was early morning, we got good fog during initial hours, Only later it became a little clear.
Some photos for you...

So if you're in Goa and have a car at disposal, ditch the beaches, head to Chorla for a memorable drive.

There're lots of small streams that form by the road during monsoon. Road will be pretty clear in the morning and driving is super fun too.
