Chase Crocodiles in Cumbarjua

For nature enthusiasts, these crocodile sighting boat trips (Cortalim jetty, 17 km from Margao) are a treat. These marsh crocodiles locally known as the ‘mannge’ are found mainly in the Cumbarjua canal, that links the two major rivers of Goa, the Mandovi and the Zuari. These creatures have a tolerance to the varying degrees of salinity of these waters, which ensures their survival.
The crocodiles are usually seen basking on the bunds or just swimming around minding their own business, and do not attack unless provoked. Besides crocodiles, a large variety of bird life and fishing activities add to the ‘wild’ pleasure.
