Goa is cherished for the sun-sand-surf trifecta and its breezy holiday vibe. But venture beyond touristy territories and it throws up a few surprises—think the mysterious depths of rainforests or wildlife roaming ancient hills. Even in her home turf, National Geographic Explorer Malaika Vaz encountered unknown environs, the feral sights and sounds captured with the vivo X50 Pro.

Meet the bronzeback tree snake, a rather pretty predator from the Western Ghats. Its name is a nod to the bronze pattern running down its back, which makes for quite the visual amid dense forest foliage. Shot on vivo X50 Pro

 

 

At its peak, the Goa monsoon allows a tiny window of time when the clouds part to reveal the sun. To seize the day, point your lens towards the heavens. Lanky palms against whistling blue sky will gift you the classic Goa portrait. Shot on vivo X50 Pro

The force of water or the prance of a happy pet, the gimbal stabilisation and focus tracking features of the vivo X50 Pro are trained to capture life’s fleeting delights. Tested succesfully on Malaika’s canine adventure-buddy, Mufasa, who loved his time on Goa’s foamy beaches. Shot on vivo X50 Pro

 

 

The vivo X50 Pros’s extreme night mode captures the brooding abstract of darkness. Witchy clouds or a star-spangled sky, take your pick. Shot on vivo X50 Pro

 

 

A river running along Panjim separates the night lights of the urban jungle from the lush greens of Goa. The image, captured using the extreme night mode on the vivo X50Pro, is special for not using any artificial light. Shot on vivo X50 Pro
