Goa - Macro Photography Expedition, Aug 2026

Join us for a thrilling 3 nights and 4 days Macro Photography Expedition in Goa, exploring the rich biodiversity of the Western Ghats across prime locations such as Bhagwan Mahavir Wildlife Sanctuary, Tambdi Surla, and Chorla Ghats. Covering nearly 240 sq km, this landscape forms part of one of the largest contiguous protected forest tracts in the central Western Ghats. With over 3,000 mm of annual rainfall, the monsoon transforms these forests into a vibrant hotspot for herpetofauna and macro life. The lush forests of Tambdi Surla come alive with amphibians and reptiles during the rains, while Chorla Ghats, perched at around 800 m elevation, is known for hosting rare species such as the Barred Wolf Snake (Lycodon striatus). These diverse habitats create exceptional opportunities for macro photographers to document the Western Ghats’ extraordinary rainforest biodiversity.
