by Venkat

Till then heres a few things about Karnala

Habitat type: Forest

Rating: 5

You can find this Bird Sanctuary while driving on the Mumbai-Goa Highway, almost half away between Panvel and Pen. At the peak of the Sanctuary is the Karnala Fort with its characteristic thumbs up look.

At this amazing Sanctuary you can expect a lot of birds especially forest species (check the list of some of the stars of Karnala below to get a good idea), However Karnala showed be done early in the morning before the highway passing through the sanctuary starts making too much noise and disturbing the birds. Karnala is also a good place for all those interested in Butterflies, Flora, Insects and (especially) Snakes. And besides being a great place for mild trekking it has another highlight in Rock-Climbing which happens at the pinnacle of the fort (But don�t try this if you don�t have proper equipments or knowledge of Rock-Climbing, a wrong move could be fatal) there are usually well trained teams who conduct this activity especially on Sundays and holidays during the good season.
