Located in the Western Ghats of Goa, there’s a sanctuary named Bhagwan Mahavir Wildlife Sanctuary and Mollem National Park, often simply called “Goa National Park” by visitors. Spanning about 240 square kilometres, this paradise is home to diverse wildlife and stunning landscapes that’ll make your Goa tour packages complete! The park has thick deciduous forests, hills, and the crystal-clear Dudhsagar waterfall, which is one of India’s highest waterfalls. You’ll spot langurs, sambars, and if you're lucky, even glimpse the big black panther!
The sanctuary also houses hidden temples connecting you to Goa’s cultural heritage. Unlike crowded beaches, the park is peaceful, where you can reconnect with nature, breathe fresh air, and discover a side of Goa that many tourists miss. It’s perfect for both wildlife lovers and families looking for a day trip away from the beaches.
