Chorla Ghats sits at the meeting point of Goa, Karnataka, and Maharashtra, a high plateau within the Western Ghats holding genuine biodiversity significance as part of a continuous forest corridor connecting several protected areas. Vazra Sakla Falls, a dramatic waterfall within the ghats, and wide plateau viewpoints give the area natural drama, while its position away from Goa's beach-and-party circuit has kept it consistently quiet, appealing specifically to birders and nature enthusiasts. Chorla Ghats suits travelers wanting Goa's Western Ghats side rather than its coastline — birdwatching along the plateau's forest edges, a visit to Vazra Sakla Falls, and simply taking in the tri-state viewpoint reward those willing to drive inland from the beaches.
