Backwoods Camp is ideally located
at the heart of the Bhagwan Mahaveer Wildlife Sanctuary, bounded
to one side by a seasonal stream and merging into the forest,
makig it the perfect location from which to explore the prolific
avifauna of the area.
You will soon be introduced to the commoner inhabitants
of the forest and foothills. From first light, when the noisy cackle
of the Malabar Grey Hornbill announces the start of the day, until
dusk, when the Indian Pitta sounds its shrill whistle, days here
are accompanied by the sounds of the forest, while at night its
silence is disturbed by the calls of Oriental Scops Owl and Ceylon
Frogmouth.
Being within close proximity of Mollem National Park
(actually a smaller part of the Bhagwan Mahaveer wildlife sanctuary),
Bondla Wildlife Sanctuary, and Chorla Ghats (Mhadei Wildlife Sanctuary),
Backwoods Camp is also a convenient place from which
to explore these protected areas.
Run by birders for birders, the tranquil surroundings and exhilarating
birding are complemented by simple yet cosy accommodation, traditional
local cuisine, warm hospitality, and a host of other wildlife.
