About Tanshikar Spice Farm, Netravali

A certified-organic, family-run spice farm in the Netravali foothills: guided walks through vanilla, nutmeg and pepper vines, honey-bee keeping, a 250-year-old heritage house, and a buffet lunch cooked with the farm's own spices served in clay pots. Eco-stay cottages if you want to linger.

Why visit: the best spice-farm day trip reachable from Canacona — about an hour's drive — where lunch is cooked with the farm's own spices and served in clay pots.
