Thomas Cook's Nature Trails Enters Goa with Rock Valley

Nature Trails, the experiential hospitality brand of Thomas Cook (India) Limited, has expanded beyond Maharashtra with the launch of Nature Trails Rock Valley Goa, marking the brand’s entry into Goa.

The new resort adds to Nature Trails’ existing portfolio of properties at Durshet, Sajan and Kundalika, reinforcing its focus on immersive, experience-led travel rooted in nature, adventure and local culture.

Located in Ponda, at the foothills of the Western Ghats, the resort spans 15 acres across a scenic valley.

Key Highlights

• Designed for families, groups, schools and corporate team-building

The property features thoughtfully designed rooms, each over 250 sq ft, with private sit-out areas offering views of forests, river stretches and open farmland—delivering a deep connection with nature. Key highlights include two infinity pools, one overlooking the valley and the other the river, along with a large integrated adventure zone.
