Located on the island of Chorao, this bird sanctuary is one of the lesser-known tourist destinations in Goa. For an entry fee of Rs 20, you will be treated to some rare bird sightings that include locals like Kingfishers, Sand Pipers and Kites, and some visitors like the Russian Ibis and Kenyan Egrets.
In addition to the birds, you will also come across crocodiles and scores of colourful butterflies. This is a thriving ecological hotspot. You could explore it on foot or hire a boat for a detailed guided tour. You can catch a ferry from Ribandar Wharf to Chorao island. We recommend an early-morning start, around 6:30 am, for the best sightings. This one of the relatively unexplored Goa tourist places but makes for an enjoyable family experience.
