Mystic Woods by The Butterfly Conservatory of Goa

Overview

Butterflies have enchanted each of us from the time we were kids and The Butterfly Conservatory of Goa is one family’s effort to create a haven for butterflies. Spread over 4000 square metres, it is designed so that you can take a stroll around it while taking in the serene splendour of nature. In the giant expanses of the garden, you will find over a hundred unique species of butterflies. One of the main attractions of the Butterfly Conservatory of Goa is The Butterfly Pub, which is the spot for mud-puddling of the males of the species. This is where the male butterflies gather in the puddles and muddy areas to absorb nutrients like salts and amino acids before the mating ritual. The park, also known as Mystic Woods, is owned and maintained by nature lovers and enthusiasts Dr Jyoti and Yashodhan Hablekar, who built the place from scratch.
