Navelim Wetlands
Tucked away in the heart of Goa, nestled between the villages of Cudnem and Navelim, lies the Navelim Wetlands, a hidden gem that whispers secrets of the natural world. This enchanting wetland, cradled by the Cudnem river in the Bicholim taluka, is a sanctuary where the rhythms of nature are palpably alive. As you step into this verdant oasis, the air thickens with the sweet scent of blooming water lilies and the earthy smell of damp soil. The soft chirping of birds and the gentle lapping of water against the shore create a symphony that envelops you in tranquility.Here, the Smooth-coated Otter, a sleek and agile hunter, glides effortlessly through the waters, while kingfishers and herons soar overhead, their vibrant plumage a stark contrast against the muted tones of the wetland. The Navelim Wetlands, recently crowned as an Important Bird and Biodiversity Area, is a haven for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts, offering a glimpse into a world where time stands still and nature reigns supreme. It's a place where every visit feels like a discovery, a testament to the untamed beauty that lies just beyond the bustling beaches and vibrant markets of Goa.
