The Cotigao Wildlife Sanctuary, Goa is located 10 km southeast of Chaudi. It was established in 1969 to protect a vulnerable area of the forest in the Goa-Karnataka border.
The 25 m high treetop watchtower overlooks a waterhole that attracts animals around dawn and dusk. It is an exciting experience to watch them from the tower. An overnight stay for the wildlife enthusiasts will be an experience worth remembering but prior written permission for an overnight stay; either in the watchtower or the forest department’s small rest house must be obtained from the Deputy Conservator of Forests.
