Salaulim Dam

Salaulim Dam is built across the Salaulim River in Sanguem taluka and is one of the main sources of water for South Goa. The dam is known for its distinctive circular spillway, shaped like a giant funnel, which is an unusual engineering feature. When the reservoir is full during the monsoon, water pours into the spillway in a dramatic spectacle. Landscaped gardens around the dam have been developed for visitors, with fountains, lawns and walkways. The reservoir is surrounded by forested hills, making it a scenic picnic spot. The area is especially lush after the monsoon. It is a popular day trip for families. It is worth the trip for its unique spillway and peaceful gardens.
