50 km from Margao, in the south, is the lesser known wildlife sanctuary of Cotigaon, spread over 85sqkm, it boasts of some virgin forest, and wild animals like, the leopards, black panthers, sloth bears, spotted deer, gaur, giant squirrels... though as in the case of any sanctuary.. you need plenty of luck and patience to actually spot anything... but this place is worth an overnight stay, if you can spare the time..

Krishnapur..
Parag and me left home this sunday out looking for the famed, Goa's highest point...Soson Ghad... and man was it tough, no directions anywhere.
What we ended up doing was literally making our own way to this place called Krishnapur, which was actually a bit over into Karnataka, However the road to the place which is about 15km off road is almost xxx rated. really rough... Dudhsagar like, but much longer. The place is off Valpoi and although hot was quiet beautiful...wish however we were there with a bigger groupe and in the coolr months...
