Mollem, a quaint village located along the eastern border of Goa, is a significant destination for travelers seeking to explore the region's natural beauty and rich wildlife, away from the coastal beaches. It serves as the primary entry point for the Bhagwan Mahavir Wildlife Sanctuary and Mollem National Park, which together form Goa's largest protected forest reserve. The ideal time to visit Mollem is generally from November to March. However, the monsoon season (June to September) offers a unique experience, with the waterfalls, especially Dudhsagar, at their most spectacular.
