This sanctuary is Goa’s “deep green” wildlife side—dense forests, birdlife, trails, and a protected landscape that feels far removed from the beach strip. It’s best for travelers who want nature tourism: forest viewpoints, biodiversity exploration, and a more eco-focused itinerary. The experience is about the environment—fresh air, forest roads, and the feeling of entering a protected Western Ghats ecosystem where waterfalls and old temples coexist inside a conservation zone.
