¤ About Arambol
ARAMBOL
(or Harmal) situated 32km northwest of Mapusa. Parties do occasionally
happen, drawing revellers across the river from Anjuna and Vagator, but
these are rare intrusions into an otherwise tranquil, out-of-the-way corner
of the state. Modern Arambol is scattered around an area of high ground west
of the main coast road, where most of the buses pull in. From here, a bumpy
lane runs downhill, past a large school and the village church, to the more
traditional end of the village, clustered under a canopy of widely spaced
palm trees. The main beach lies 200m further along the lane. Strewn with
dozens of old wooden fishing boats and a line of tourist café-bars,
the gently curving bay is good for bathing, but much less picturesque than
its neighbour around the corner. To reach "Paradise beach" ,
follow the track over the headland to the north. Beyond a rather
insalubrious smelling, rocky-bottomed cove, the trail emerges to a broad
strip of soft white sand hemmed in on both sides by steep cliffs. Behind it,
a small freshwater lake extends along the bottom of the valley into a thick
jungle. Hang around the banks of this murky green pond for long enough, and
you'll probably see a fluorescent-yellow human figure or two appear from the
bushes at its far end. Fed by boiling hot springs, the lake is lined with
sulphurous mud, which, when smeared over the body, dries to form a surreal,
butter-coloured shell.
