They provide refuge and breeding grounds for several varieties of fish and insects which fall at the base of the food-chain.

The “Mangrove Scrub” type of vegetation that is found here occurs in small isolated areas along the banks of Mandovi and Mapusa rivers and also along the Cumbarjua canal.

Looking for an isolated lake to just chill out with your camera? Then this lake in Goa is for you. Bondava lake is basically the reservoir created for Salaulim dam that provides water to the nearby locations for both irrigation and drinking purpose. However, it feels like a mini wildlife sanctuary.

There is a lush green cover all around where many birds and other animals live. Most lakes in Goa are pretty popular, but not Bondava. You can expect almost complete silence alongside the occasional chirping of birds.
