Goa Wildlife & Sancturies
Bhagvan Mahavir Wildlife Sanctuary
Situated along the North-East border of Goa at Molem, about one and half hours
journey from Panaji (60 kms.) along Panaji-Belgaum National Highway, the Bhagwan
Mahavir Wildlife sanctuary covers 240 sq. kms. of thick forest clad slopes of
Western Ghats and its valleys and is the biggest of the three sanctuaries of
Goa.
The sanctuary is rich in wildlife. It is a paradise for bird watchers. Besides
flora and fauna there are many important geological and historical features
in this sanctuary. Dudhsagar falls, about an hour's journey from Colem by train,
is a feast for the eyes.
The "Devil canyon" is another beautiful geological spot. The famous
Tambdi Suria temple is about 13 kms. from Molem. The Dept. of Tourism has built
comfortable cottages and dormitories for tourists.
