The Goa Tourism Development Corporation (GTDC) recently launched the Monsoon Trekking program to increase tourism in the hinterland regions. In his address at the launch celebration in Tambdi Surla in South Goa, GTDC Chairman and Sanvordem MLA Dr. Ganesh Gaonkar said that this initiative will increase the region’s value. It will aid in creating jobs for the locals.
According to reports, more than eight million visitors travel to Goa each year. Most choose to go to beaches to soak in the sun, sand, and the ocean on their holiday. However, it appears that the Goa Government is also focusing on the tourism of the hinterlands.
In this regard, Gaonkar said that there are many things that one cannot experience on the beaches. In hinterland regions, you can get 100% fresh air at no cost while they don’t have to spend money for it, he said.
He also assured travelers of a safe trek. He also said, “Your security is of the utmost importance.”

The Chairman added that guide guides for tourists will receive training from the GTDC as well as The Forest Department and that only guides who have been certified will be allowed to accompany tourists.
GTDC Director Nikhil Desai informed that the first of the monsoon trekking series is already underway. “This is an all-day trek lasting four hours, which is where visitors can delight in watching the wildlife and flora, and how stunning the countryside has to offer,” he said.
He added that this trek would only be held on Sundays.
