Nersa Tourist Attractions

Nersa Village is in the forest range of Londa in the Western Ghats at the border of Karnataka and Goa, 508 km North West of Bangalore.

The northern mountain forests of the Western Ghats around a remote village named Nersa in Belgaum District. These are phrases for regulation game parks where the safaris are by jeep and the sights are almost orchestrated. Nersa is raw and stark in its aggression, naked and uninhibited in its attitude and as wild as a forest can get.

The Bats of Talevadi

The forest here has a variety of life forms ranging from the gaur, deer and bear to snakes and birds and even a herd of elephants that has moved in from nearby Dandeli recently. But Nersa is all about the bats, the kind that are found in the woods and not made of them.

The Bats of Krishnapur

Beyond Talevadi lies an area called Krishnapur in the Mahadai Valley, home to dolomite outcrops. They have been living in a three-tiered cave for eons. The ancient forest has never ever come under the axe.

Bird Watching

As many as 276 species of birds have made this part of the Western Ghats their home. From the funniest looking Ceylon frogmouth to the wonderfully plumaged paradise flycatcher you’ll see them all. But you’ll have to be keenly observant as the foliage is thick and the birds have an obviously effective set of camouflage.
