Catigo Wildlife Sanctuary |
 The
Cotigao Wildlife Sanctuary, 10-km southeast of Chaudi, was established
in 1969 to protect a remote and vulnerable area of forest lining the
Goa- Karnataka border. Encompassing 86-sq-kms of mixed deciduous
woodland, the reserve is certain to inspire tree lovers, but less likely
to yield many wildlife sightings: its Tigers and Leopards were hunted
out long ago, while the Gazelles, Sloth Bears, Porcupines, Panthers and
Hyenas that allegedly lurk in the woods rarely appear. Visitors however, stand a good chance of spotting at least two species of Monkey, a couple of Wild Boar and the Odd Gaur. The sanctuary is best visited between October and March months. Cotigao is a peaceful and scenic park that makes a pleasant day trip from Palolem, 12-km northwest. The wardens at the reserve's small Interpretative Centre will show one how to get to a 25m-high treetop watchtower, overlooking a waterhole that attracts a handful of animals around dawn and dusk. |
How To Get There |
|
By Road Any of the buses running south on
NH-14 to Karwar via Chaudi will drop one within 2-km of the gates.
However, to explore the inner reaches of the sanctuary, one really needs
one's own transport |
Places To StayWritten permission for an overnight stay, either in the watchtower or the forest department's small rest house must be obtained from the Deputy Conservator Of Forests, 3rd Floor, Junta House, Panjim, as far in advance of one's visit as possible. If one gets stuck, however, the wardens can arrange a tent, blankets and basic food. |
