The Goa section of the Great Indian Trail starts with a nice little singletrack, somewhere in the jungle along the track is the Goa-Karnataka border. After the single track, the route till Valpoi is 80+ kms of scenic back roads (all good tarmac). This route passes through lesser known villages along the eastern belt of the state. After Valpoi the road leads north to a village called Charavane from where a singletrack trail called the Cliffhanger begins and leads up hill to Chorla ghat.The Cliffhanger may be a little tricky for large adventure motorcycles, specially with panniers. In the monsoons the track is split wide open by a deep rut caused by the rainwater flowing downhill. After the monsoons the villagers fill this rut with soil which makes the singletrack motorable again. Burn Alert – Riders who don’t want to risk the Cliffhanger can head to Chorla from Valpoi using directions from Google Maps.
