Why an overnight trip for Bird Watching?Goa being a “Susegado” place with a laid back attitude, it is difficult to get participants at a starting point (Panjim or Margao or Ponda) anywhere before 8.00am. Why spend time traveling in a bus to one lake habited by birds, when we can see 5 lakes frequented by birds. Also we intend to start our bird watching before sunrise sharp at 5.00am in the morning. We will start our morning trip by bus right from the bird village of Curtorim. That’s why comfortable overnight staying arrangements are being organized by Goa Adventures in due advance.
