Sahakari Spice Farm

Curti is a small and green neighborhood in the city of Ponda. One of the main attractions in the city is the Sahakari Spice Farm, which is brimming with the bounty of nature. Since the year 1979, the farm has been transformed from partially cultivated and partially barren land to a thriving spice farm, owing to developments in farming techniques. The spices that one will find at this expansive organic farm are, cinnamon, cloves, pepper, cardamom, vanilla and nutmeg, among others. All the talk of spices making your mouth water? Not a problem, one can enjoy a delicious meal at the restaurant located on the farm. The food in the restaurant in served in clay pots and plates made from banana leaves. And that's not all it has to offer! The spice plantation offers entertainment such as folk dance performances like Dhalo, Fugdi and Jagor, elephant rides, and more.

Ancestral Goa

Spread over nine acres of land, Ancestral Goa, also known as "Big Foot," is a first of its kind theme park and outdoor museum in India. It showcases a variety of artifacts that depict the journey and hardships in the past of rural Goa. From Anandachem Ghor (House of Happiness) to see the salt pans & coastal treasure, Ancestral Goa is a sojourn that will take you back in time. It has the honor of housing the largest laterite sculpture of Mirabai, the devotional poet and saint and also, the Big Foot Cross Museum that has on display thousands of crosses from all over the world. Ancestral Goa enlightens you about the fact that there is much more to Goa than just parties and beaches, Goa is a land of many mysteries and a multitude of color. Have fun exploring!

Bondla Wildlife Sanctuary

Spread across 8 square kilometers of verdant forest area, the Bondla Wildlife Sanctuary is actually one of the tiniest in Goa, however it is a true sanctuary in every respect of the word. Giving a new lease of life to injured leopards who have strayed away from their jungle habitat, and to abused bears and cobras, Bondla has indeed got its priorities right. Besides exquisite animal life, one can also find some Hindu carvings which were discovered when the gardens were being built, and presumably hidden to save them from the colonial zealots. A visit here is well worth it especially if one is already in South Goa. The Sanctuary is closed on Thursdays.
