Mayem Lake

Mayem Lake is a scenic freshwater lake in Bicholim taluka, surrounded by low wooded hills and villages. It has long been a popular picnic and day-trip destination for both locals and tourists. The lake is managed as a tourism spot, with boating facilities, a walking path along the shore and a garden. Visitors can take pedal boats or rowing boats on the water. The area around the lake is also good for birdwatching, with kingfishers and waterbirds commonly seen. Accommodation is available nearby for those wanting a quiet overnight stay. The lake is especially pleasant in the cool months after the monsoon. It is worth the trip for a relaxed inland escape from the coast.
