Description

Step into Goa’s ancient past with a Heritage Cave Visit to Arvalem (Pandava) Caves, one of the oldest rock-cut cave complexes in Goa. Dating back to around the 5th–7th century, these caves feature five chambers carved from laterite rock, believed to have Buddhist origins with strong Hindu connections.

Surrounded by forest and located near a waterfall and temple, this is the best and most famous heritage cave experience in Goa, perfect for culture lovers, history explorers, and peaceful sightseeing.
