Introduction to Chorão Island

Tucked away in the serene expanse of the Mandovi River, Chorão Island is a hidden gem that whispers tales of Goa's untouched beauty. This riverine island, spanning about 3000 acres, is a mere 35-minute boat ride from Ribandar, near the capital city of Panaji. As you step onto its shores, you're enveloped by the vibrant hues of mangrove forests, where the melodic chirps of over 400 bird species fill the air. The island's tranquil villages, with their preserved traditional charm, offer a glimpse into a simpler, more peaceful Goa. Here, history and nature intertwine; the Dr. Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary and ancient churches like St. Bartholomew’s stand as testaments to the island's rich cultural and ecological heritage. Chorão Island is a sanctuary for those seeking more than just sun and sand, a place where the cacophony of birds, the gentle breeze, and the majestic views transport you to a world untouched by time.
