Answer 2

Bird Watching

Goa's equitable climate and rich vegetation support an abundance of birds. This large and diverse population can survive because of its varied habitat that ranges from open forests to shrubs, tracks and dense forests which are ideal for breeding.

Visitors will probably notice a few about town and in temple grounds. On the other hand, a keen bird-watcher will find much to get excited about and a trip to one of the nearby sanctuaries or along a river early in the morning will be particularly rewarding.

Goa is a bird watcher's paradise and keen bird-watchers will be in seventh heaven, and even those who have previously had little interest in birds will wonder at the richness of the birdlife.

Common varieties of birds to be seen in Goa include four different species of eagles, as well as other birds of prey such as kites, buzzards, kestrels and ospreys. There are five types of pigeons, six types of doves, five varieties of cuckoos, six of kingfishers and another six of woodpeckers.

There is enough here to keep even the most ardent enthusiast busy for months. What's more, you don't even have to go very far to see most of these birds. An early morning or evening spent beside one of the rivers, or better still in the boat of a local ramponkar, drifting along the waterways will reveal amazing numbers of unusual species.

For those who are interested in seeing more, a trip to the Dr Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary on Chorao Island is recommended. Other sites of interest are the wetlands at Carambolim (12km east of Panaj and at Shiroda (40km south-east of Panaji, in Ponda taluka).

A wonderful variety of birds can also be seen readily in Bondla and the other wildlife sanctuaries near the Western Ghats. For seabirds, Morjim beach is recommended.

Answer 4

oa has the usual beaches - calangute, baga. anjuna etc in north goa. in south goa there are colva, betalbateim etc. betalbateim is a good secluded beach if u dont want too many tourists around.

the other touristy thing is temples and churches in south goa.

the forts - chapora/aguada / anjuna are not so touristy, but hvae visitors nevertheless.

other things that can be done is to take an evening cruise down the mandovi river off panjim - they take u to an islnd where there is a song and dance show.

you could also see the old portuguese style buildings in panjim - some are very picturesque

the above thngs are touristy - for non touristy stuff - just go with the flow and do your own thing - whether it is picking up ur drink and sitting on the beach for hours - if u can find a secluded beach (like betalbateim (south goa) or madorim (north goa) that is very good, else take a fishing rod and go fishing in the mandovi or other water body. bottom line is just chill and u will have fun.
