Hello  Gautam,
We  will  be  staying  near  Calugute  beach,  so  would  prefer  something  that  does  not  take  up  too  much  time  getting  to.  We  will  be  visiting  during  October  end  and  wondering  how  the  climate  would  be  from  view  point  of  actually  getting  to  see  wildlife  up  close.  I  understand  some  sanctuaries  offer  elephant  ride.  Is  this  just  a  fun  ride,  or  is  it  through  the  jugle  to  actually  see  some  wildlife?  On  another  note,  how  important  will  it  be  to  have  a  mosquito  net  at  our  accommodation?
Regards  -  AP
