Palusa Falls The normal trends of Indian waterfalls do not apply to this unique waterfall in Sajan. The waterfall is almost always at its full glory and rarely dry up or become a trickle as is the case with rest of the waterfalls. The Palusa waterfall is surrounded by verdant forests from every side and the sight of the creamy torrent gushing down almost a 40 -60 feet and crush the resilient rocks below is awe inspiring. The clear water stream and the picturesque surroundings make for a memorable sight. The sight is always in demand and provides an excellent opportunity to relax and enjoy a half day trek cum picnic with the entire family. An operational mini dam is situated near the falls.

Moho River Sajan has a mini-dam if one may decide to call it that based upon the size of it. The Moho-Khurd dam located just nearby the town has a superb setting of a man made water reservoir coupled with a waterfall. Add this to the greenery around and it becomes a great place for nature lovers. The water in the Dam is almost always calm and inviting. A swim in the Dam or a picnic along the banks is an inviting option. The less adventurous may try their hands at available include Kayaking across the splendid Moho-Khurd Damlet.

Tiger Caves Tiger Caves are popular for ancient carvings and figures present inside them.

Kohoj Hill Fort The fort of Kohoj stands tall over the magnificent dam near Sajan village. The history of the fort is not very easily forthcoming and its only from it’s grandeur and construction that one can relate the history of this fort. The expert opinion dates the fort back to Bhoj period. The known fact remains that around the 16th century the Portuguese army was able to lay a siege and capture the fort from the King of Gujrat. The Portuguese enhanced the fort through bastions and fortifications. The 18th century saw the Peshwa’s conquer the fort till the British snatched it from them till Independence of India.

Peshwa Temple 18 km. away from the town, on a hillock lays the grand Peshwa Temple. With the only access being possible through foot, not everyone (except the trekking enthusiasts) is lucky to visit it and hence the temple is forever shrouded in mystery and exclusivity.

Mahalaxmi Temple Located at east of Ponda the temple is devoted to Goddess Mahalaxmi, who is known for her power and strength. Admired by the saraswats, the Goddess is said to be a personification of Adishakti. The temple displays 24 images and is said to be the abode of the original Goddess of the Shakti cult. The temple has large amount of followers and had worshippers in the early dynasties in Goa. Legend has it that she was the favorite deity of the Kadamba dynasty. Located in Panaji and off the Dada Vaidhya Road, the Mahalaxmi Temple was the first Hindu temple allowed to be built by the Portuguese in Goa after around 300 years. In 1818 the Portuguese authorities gave consent and approved its construction after a long hiatus. It was refurbished in the year 1983. The deity of the temple originally came from the village of Taleigao and was moved to Bicholim in the 16th century to escape Portuguese demolition. During the process of approval the deity was at the house of Mahamai Kamat, near the Idalcao's palace. The main festivals at this temple are Navaratri and Chaitra Purnima.
