Yeah, I know the bridge you're tallking about - at the far end of the beach - near the rocky outcrop.

Never crossed it, look forward to knowing whats there, if anyone knows.

Don't go there it is where they are filming a version of lost and they have to cool the polar bears down a lot with a hosepipe to stop them attacking tourists.

Back from a wonderfull holiday
went to palolem booked into a guest house after looking at some huts which the matressess looked flea bitten, then went for a nice walk on the beach.We went over the bridge to find the most peacefull part of the beach Theres 10 beach huts all new and spotless the place looked that good we inquired if they have a hut to rent and as soon as they said yes we went back to the guest house booked out with an excuse of having to go back to candolin urgently and stayed for 3 nights the senenery is out of this world with palolem infront and jungle behind the place is called Ordo sounsar ,the owners along with the people who work there are wonderfull so if you want a chill out get your assess there you wont regret it
they have a small web site www.ordosounsar.com but what they dont mention is how the jungle suddenly comes alive with monkeys swinging in the trees or the sound at night with the jungle animals and the sea waves to listen to id love to show you my pics but dont know how to shrink them to be able to get them on this web site
So there you are thats whats over the bridge

Sharon,
thanks for this post. It is valuable info for first-timers like me. I will be in Goa in early March and i will definitely check Ordo Sounsar ... I was reading posts about fiercy monkeys in India and your reference to them made me wonder if "but what they dont mention is how the jungle suddenly comes alive with monkeys swinging in the trees" is something that makes this place more enjoyable or just the opposite.

Everything's better if you add monkeys!!

Just make sure you shut your windows so they can't jump in

I was informed that there is only a restaurant accross the river (by boat).

hey sharon
im sure its fantastic.when i went to palolem in october they wre just erecting the huts at the start of the season.
did u find butterfly beach? its the beach to the north of palolem, but u cant go there on foot, u have to take a boat to get to other side of the rocks.is it the same one where ordo sounsar is?

ssharonuk · Feb 3rd, 2006, 13:10

yes we spent a few hours on butterfly beach would have stayed longer but no one told us there wasnt anywhere to bye drinks and we went without water lol nice though
ordo sounsar is right at the end of palolem beach theres a small lagoon and the bridge is there ,just go over and take a look im sure itll be a day or to before you leave
they also have a boat which you can go down to see the lagoon its wonderfull but dont do what my hubby did and go low tide as he got beached lol
