Hi Rajan,
Thanks for the lovely pictures of the Siddhanath parvat. Those did bring back nice memories. I have always been fond of wilderness areas, and Goa does have a fair share of these. These spots where nature is still king, are the ones where silence speaks out. Most of the times you will be the only person around, and you can hear sounds that can hardly be registered in other places. I agree with you such areas should be left as they are, and we should not interfere in their ecosystem. Because every time any development (like building roads) is done to make them more accessible to tourists, the decay of that place is sure to start. I may not agree with you that the road to Siddhanath should not be built as 'bhaile' will take over (which cannot be stopped till there are legislations in place or people stop being greedy), but I am definitely against that road (if it is being built) so that the sanctity of that place (or any other place which nature calls its own) can be preserved. At the least, we owe that much to our conscience. Cheers, Prasad Raicar Message: 7 Date: Fri, 22 Aug 2008 01:17:08 -0700 (PDT) From: "Rajan P.

It is not a frequently visited site for access is not easy. A 45 minutes trudge uphill is the only way to get there. However, there is recompense for the calories burned in the form of splendid vistas of the Zuari river basin below.
