Tucked away in the middle of spice farms in the village of Netravali, in Sanguem, Budbud, Budbudyachi Tali, Budbudi Tal and Bubble Lake are some of the names this wonder in South Goa goes by. A freshwater lake that dates back to almost 300–400 years, this spot hidden away from the popular tourist hotspots, is a riot of nature. Lying amidst lush greens, Bubble Lake in itself is a bubble of peace and serenity, lying amidst lush greens. Visually the bubbles look beautiful and you can keep gazing for hours as the bubbles keep popping up, making continuous concentric circles through the ripples they cause. Different kinds of sounds also activate the bubbles - clap, or hurl stones into the lake and you'll notice how the bubbles multiply in number.
The lake is also full of small tiger fish - the kinds they use in salons for a pedicure. We sat with our feet in the water and within a few minutes, the fishes were nibbling away at the dead skin, enjoying a hearty meal. It tickles a little initially but then you start enjoying it.
Bonus? The journey through the countryside to reach the lake is stunning. Drive down and make a day of it.
