Mhadei Wildlife Sanctuary
Tucked away in the lush heart of North Goa, the Mhadei Wildlife Sanctuary is a hidden gem that whispers secrets of the wild to those who venture close.

Here, the Mhadei River weaves its way through the landscape, creating a backdrop of white water rapids and cascading waterfalls like the majestic Vazra Sakla Falls and the serene Virdi Falls.As you step into this 208-square-kilometer haven, the air is alive with the calls of over 255 bird species and the rustle of leaves from evergreen and deciduous forests. The sanctuary is home to elusive creatures like Bengal tigers, black panthers, and sloth bears, making every trek and hike an adventure filled with surprises. Whether you're rafting down the Mhadei River or trekking up the Vagheri Hills, Mhadei Wildlife Sanctuary is a symphony of nature, where every moment is a dance between human curiosity and the untamed beauty of the wild.

Good Service
Water Fall Paradise. Mhadei hosts a lot of waterfalls, a few of them are popular and a lot others are only known to locals. A couple of waterfalls have water throughout the year but not all. As a wildlife sanctuary too, it's a serene and calm place to visit but you may not always spot some exotic animal.
Good Service
Too Beautiful! Full of misty mountains and seasonal waterfalls/springs throughout the road. As the roads are well built and wide, one can easily stop by to enjoy the view. Chorla ghat is one of the best parts of the journey through the sanctuary.
Amazing Service
Nature at its best. It's really a wild place to be. Nature lovers' paradise. You will get to see wild animals. Stay options can be limited.
