Overview
The Netravali Wildlife and Tanshikar Spice Farm Day Trip starts with a thrilling jeep safari in Goa, carving through the Netravali Wildlife Sanctuary. This Goa jungle exploration reveals the Western Ghats' wild side—birds, butterflies, and langurs along the way. The ride ends at the stunning Savari or Mainapi waterfalls, perfect for a refreshing swim—a must-do on any Netravali visit.
Post-safari, unwind at Tanshikar Spice Farm, a working spice plantation in Goa tucked in the rainforest. This Goa spice farm visit lets you walk among organic cardamom, pepper, and nutmeg. It's a living model of eco-tourism, showcasing sustainable tourism in Goa through nature treks, birdwatching, and waterfall trails. Since 2005, this unique spice farm in Goa has blended education with adventure. The experience ends with a wholesome Goan lunch on the farm—wild thrills meet earthy flavours, all in one unforgettable day.
Important: The Netravali Jeep Safari involves a certain level of danger. Participation is at your own risk. The operator disclaims all liability, and opting out forfeits the full booking amount.
