Mystic Woods by The Butterfly Conservatory

Imagine stepping into a fairytale forest, where the air is alive with the gentle flutter of butterflies and the sweet scent of blooming flowers. Welcome to Mystic Woods, a butterfly conservatory nestled in the heart of Ponda, Goa. What was once a barren hill slope has been transformed by the visionary efforts of Dr. Jyoti and Yashodhan Heblekar into a vibrant oasis. As you stroll through this 4000-square-meter haven, you're surrounded by over a hundred species of butterflies, each one a kaleidoscope of colors dancing around you. The rooftop garden, with its innovative rainwater harvesting system, is a marvel in itself, while the fossil museum and mineral display add an intriguing layer to this natural wonderland. Here, nature's symphony is at its peak, with bees buzzing, birds chirping, and the soft rustle of leaves underfoot. It's a place where time slows down, and the beauty of nature takes center stage.
