Chorao: For Bird lovers Chorao is a place which is not to be missed. Over here lies the Dr. Salim Ali bird sanctuary. The island of Chorao lies along the river Mandovi and it is very near to Panaji. To reach the island of Chorao one would have to go to Ribandar which is
around 2-3 kms from Panaji and then take a ferry from the Ribandar jetty
to reach Chorao. The bird Sanctuary lies at the edge of the island.
This bird sanctaury is approximately 1.75 square meters in area and is
covered in a thick layer of mangrove forest. One of the main attractions
