Dr. Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary
Tucked away on the charming Chorao Island in Goa, the Dr. Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary is a hidden gem that whispers tales of nature's splendor. This tiny yet vibrant sanctuary, spread over 1.8 square kilometers, is nestled where the Mandovi River meets the sea, creating an enchanting estuarine mangrove habitat. As you embark on a boat ride through the marshy mangroves, the gentle breeze carries the sweet melodies of birds, and the twisted, winding branches seem to come alive. Here, you can spot a diverse array of birds, from eagles and kingfishers to herons and pintails, all against the backdrop of a unique ecosystem teeming with mudskippers, fiddler crabs, and even the occasional crocodile. It's a paradise for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts, where every visit feels like a discovery.
