Start your trip with a visit to the Dudhsagar Waterfalls, one of the tallest waterfalls in India. Located inside the Bhagwan Mahaveer Sanctuary and Mollem National Park, it's a trek to reach the falls, but the lush greenery and picturesque scenery make it worth the hike. Take a dip in the refreshing pool at the foot of the falls and enjoy a picnic lunch before heading back.
Experience the flora and fauna of Goa at Bondla Wildlife Sanctuary. Take a walk through the tropical forest and spot various animals such as deer, monkeys, and wild boars. Be sure to visit the mini zoo, where you can interact with domestic animals. For the adventurous, there's a trek to the top of Usgalimal rock, known for its ancient rock carvings.
End your trip with a visit to the Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary, a haven for birdwatchers and nature lovers. Take a boat ride through the mangroves and spot various bird species such as kingfishers, egrets, and herons. The sanctuary is also home to reptiles such as crocodiles and snakes. Don't forget to stop by the interpretation centre for more information about the wildlife in the sanctuary.
If you have more time, consider visiting the Cotigao Wildlife Sanctuary to see more wildlife. For those with less time, skip Bondla Wildlife Sanctuary and spend more time at Dudhsagar Waterfalls or Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary. Don't forget to bring comfortable shoes and insect repellent for the hikes and walks.
