Tucked away in a location off the main track of NH4A off the road from Ponda to Molem in Northeastern Goa, the Bondla Wildlife Sanctuary is an excellent jungle resort with many attractions for scholars, children and travelers to Goa, with attractions like a zoo, a deer park, several botanical gardens and so much more. Even as the smallest of the wildlife sanctuaries in Goa with just 8 sq.km of area, the sanctuary which lies at the foothills of the Western Ghat is home to a range of animals from Samba deer to Indian bison to Malabar giant squirrels and many types of snakes. The floral counterparts of the sanctuary are quite interesting too, with a steady growth of moist forestry together with Rosewoods and the state plant Terninalia crenulara. The zoological park contains animals inside enclosed areas within the natural surroundings such as panthers, lions, crocodiles, the Sambar deer and more. Cruise around the deer park in your own vehicle if you want to see deer, and spot the crowds of spotted deer and Sambars as they pick their ears up at the sound of the vehicles and run in a pack. The formal gardens in the sanctuary hosts elegant plants and exotic flowers with brilliant petals and fragrances that are most pleasing to the senses, while the botanical gardens with its curious array of shrubs, plants and nurseries is more interesting to scholars. The site is also abundant with birds, especially the ones with their brilliant hues and patterns from the state bird, the ruby throated yellow bulbul to the golden backed woodpecker, who regularly visit and roam across the gardens, much to the delight of the bird lovers who visit. If you are starving for more knowledge on these birds and animals, there is a Nature Education Centre with exhibits as well as an attached library to pursue your interest with pleasure. If the books bore you, take a nature trail spotting the birds and admiring the lavish growth of plant life under the canopy of the taller trees.
