Village saunter: Divar Island

Divar Island is one of the islands in the river Mandovi, in the state of Goa. Though the name suggests that it’s a small island one should hire or have own vehicle to explore it as walking or cycling isn’t feasible. Divar is known for its natural beauty as the whole island looks emerald if seen from a drone. Some ruins of the old world, some famous churches, and temples attract not only pilgrims but also people who are interested in exploring old architecture.

A well-informed guide would be able to bring the ruins, and monuments alive, hence it’s advisable to be part of guided trails or heritage walks when in Divar.
