Private Castlerock and Old Magazine House Birding Day Trip
A ten-hour private Western Ghats outing linking Castlerock with Old Magazine House at Ganeshgudi for forest birding beyond Goa.
About this tour
Travel inland from Goa for a full day in the Western Ghats, combining the forest surroundings of Castlerock with the established birding area around Old Magazine House at Ganeshgudi. The circuit offers a different landscape and birding rhythm from Goa’s coast and wetlands.
The ten-hour outing includes substantial transfers as well as time at the birding locations. The guide chooses observation points and walking sections for current conditions, allowing the day to respond to weather, forest access and bird activity.
The published base rate covers a guide and car for one to three guests. Avocet & Peregrine’s ethical birding policy generally limits groups to four, with final arrangements confirmed after inquiry. Meals, entry costs and any services not listed in the proposal should not be assumed from the base rate.
