Itinerary
Day 1
Flight to India (Mumbai)
Around Midnight arrival in Mumbai. The cosmopolitan city Mumbai (formerly known as Bombay) is the main gateway for travellers to India. Mumbai is the capital of Maharashtra and second biggest city of India. Upon arrival, you will be met by an Indo Vacations representative and transferred to the hotel.
Day 2
Mumbai
Mumbai city is full of contrasts. Mumbai with its temples, cathedrals and mosques is a real cosmopolitan city of India. Today after having our breakfast we have a walk through the harbor area and visit the Gateway of India built in 1927 by the English to commemorate the visit of George 5th from England. Our sightseeing in Mumbai includes the Gandhi Museum, Hanging Garden and Gateway of India.
Day 3
Mumbai - Goa
After breakfast in the morning we drive to the airport for the flight to Goa. Goa is a lush green paradise edged on the one side by the wooden foothills of the Sahyadri range and on the other by the Arabian Sea. Goa, a tiny emerald land on the West Coast of India, with its natural scenic beauty, attractive beaches and temples famous for its architecture has an ideal tourist profile. In the afternoon arrive at Goa. On arrival you will be met by our representative and transferred to hotel. Evening free for leisure.
Day 4
Goa
Today we will drive to Carambolim Lake and have bird watching alongside the Lake. Carambolim Lake, an incredibly rich site, filled with an astonishing variety of waterfowl includes Purple Swamphens, Pheasant-tailed and Bronze-winged Jacanas, Spot-billed and Comb Duck, and the delightful Cotton Pygmy Goose. Standing around the lake or in nearby meadows can be found Lesser Adjutant, Woolly-necked and Asian Openbill Storks, while Citrine Wagtails and Wire-tailed Swallows feed around the cattle. Raptors can include Tawny and Spotted Eagles. After watching the sunset at the lake we will drive back to the hotel.
Day 5
Goa
Today after having breakfast we will drive to Mayem Lake and have birding around Mayem Lake. Then we will drive to Charao Island.
Day 6
Goa
Today we will drive to the beautiful forest reserve of Bondla. The hills here form the edge of the Western Ghat range, and the forests also offer quite challenging bird watching. Drongos, Bulbuls and Babblers can be seen easily, but an amazing range of Flycatchers and Warblers could be trickier. The forest floor could give us Orange-headed Ground Thrush and White-rumped Shama, or more confiding Forest Wagtail, Tickell's Blue Flycatcher and White-throated Fantail and also the birds like Crested Tree-Swifts, Scarlet Minivets, Brown-cheeked Fulvettas, Black-naped Monarchs, Golden-fronted Leafbirds, Paradise Flycatchers and many others.
Day 7
Goa
Today we will drive to Tambdi Surla. We will enjoy the whole day watching the birds and their activities in the Tambdi Surla.
Day 8
Goa
Today we will drive further to get the best out of the Western Ghat forests, home to so many Malabar specialities, the huge Molem Forest Reserve is the perfect venue for us. A series of excursions here will bring us into contact with a wide range of exciting forest birds which includes the Great and Malabar Pied Hornbills, Sri Lanka Frogmouth, Brown Hawk Owl and the beautiful Malabar Trogon, Bulbuls, Babblers, Flycatchers, Fairy Bluebird, Heart-spotted Woodpecker, Velvet-fronted Nuthatch and Crimson-fronted Barbet, Sunbirds, Flowerpeckers and the curious Little Spiderhunter, Chestnut-headed Bee-eaters and the spectacular Brown-backed Needletail, one of the world's very fastest birds. This wonderful pageant of birdlife is supported by a host of colourful butterflies, exotic lizards and mammals such as Common Langurs, Bonnet Macaques and Indian Giant Squirrels.
Day 9
Goa
Today we spent our day at Anjuna beach in Goa. Anjuna beach is situated in North Goa. Anjuna Beach is famous for its fluorescent painted palm trees and infamous full moon parties. The people visit this beach to dance and lay on the beach slurping tropical fruit. In the evening we will visit Baga beach. Baga beach is an ideal place to view the sunset. Baga beach is basically an extension of Calangute beach. This beach lies in the lee of a rocky, wooded headland, making this beach marginally more varied and picturesque beach.
Day 10

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
