Our 14-day birding tour spends time in coastal habitats of north and south Goa, complemented by time exploring the dense protected forests in a series of wildlife sanctuaries at the foot of the Western Ghats. All regions are exceptional for birds - in the mangrove-lined estuaries and marshes of coastal areas expect a good selection of water birds and waders, with more widespread Indian species in scrub and grassland, while the forested interior will present a new combination of species which includes endemics of the Western Ghats and of southern India, and enigmatic forest specialties. 

​

Goa offers a comfortable yet productive, relaxed and highly enjoyable introduction to birding in the Indian Subcontinent. These post-monsoon, pre-summer months are a pleasant time to visit, when the climate is comfortable, humidity low and temperatures comparatively cool, and resident birds are complemented by an abundance of winter migrants from northern India and the Palaearctic.
