About Netravali Wildlife Sanctuary and Bubble Lake
A thick forest sanctuary in Sanguem with several hidden spots, the best known being a small spring-fed pool called Bubble Lake, where bubbles rise from the bottom. The Savari waterfall and old forest trails are also here, and the sanctuary has many reptiles and birds. The walks are on forest tracks, so take a local guide and keep to the marked route.
