Sahakari Spice Plantation backside - Animal park in Ponda - South Goa, India

Recommended only for those who genuinely like butterflies and take interest in nature. A small homely place put together by this humble couple. Visit only if you have time on hand. The best time is to get here by 9:30am if you want to witness butterflies. Wear mosquito repellent and full clothes

Good experience in lap of nature. Our guide explained everything nicely. They welcome you with a herbal ayurvedic tea then take for the tour. The meal was complete thali veg/ non veg with local taste. Ending with kokum drink and taste of pheni if you enjoy. Overall good experience

This was my second visit. I wasn't very happy this time. The first time, a gentleman took us around, he was moustached and had in-depth knowledge of plants, their origins, how they came to Goa , etc. This time, the guide wasn't very enthusiastic, and seemed to rattle off some stuff which appeared to have been learned by rote. Bring back the moustached tour guide. He made the trip enjoyable and educational.

All inclusive( guide, food) for ticket 500 rupees , don't miss the cashew fruit shot(40%).

Good spice tour with guide informing different spices and about their growth and medicinal values. Good for the knowledge and we can actually see the tree or plant of the spice we use daily. One was it is profitable business inviting tourists and encourage them to buy spices and medicines.

Not worth. Aimed at tourists. Not much in spice farm. Tour guide was knowledgeable. Been to better spice farms. Lunch included in r500. The elephant sanctuary is closed.

Food was Ok But Guided tour was of only 25-30 mins ,they are charging rs.500 which is very expensive for this short guided tour

Entry ticket is INR 500 including a guided tour and lunch. The tour guide we had was interactive and hospitable. After a refreshing warm welcome drink, you undertake a tour of the farm seeing different plant species. At the end of the tour is the lunch area and a shopping arcade. We purchased a set of coconut cups (each for INR 50). Food was delicious served in authentic goan earthen pots. The management can look into making the experience more delightful for the visitors. Hand out samples of spices through the tour, walk through a controlled sprinkler to beat the heat etc.
