Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary
Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary, situated on Chorao Island in North Goa along the Mandovi River, is a small yet rich mangrove habitat named after the renowned Indian ornithologist Dr. Salim Ali.
The sanctuary is accessible by a short ferry ride from Ribandar and offers visitors the chance to explore its dense mangrove forests via dugout canoe rides through narrow canals. It hosts a wide variety of birds, including egrets, herons, kingfishers, and rare migratory species during the winter months. Besides birds, the sanctuary is home to creatures like mudskippers, fiddler crabs, crocodiles, otters, and flying foxes, making it a diverse ecosystem.
A three-story watchtower within the sanctuary allows birdwatchers to observe wildlife at different canopy levels. The best time to visit is between October and March when migratory birds are in residence, providing a serene and rewarding nature experience without the need for extensive walking.
