Mystic Woods

I enjoyed the nature, it's nice if you like nature.
Carry your own food and water.
Their toilets are clean.
Not many butterflies🦋 to see...
But was fully worth it, their charge is Rs.200 per head..

What a lovely couple and an interesting and beautiful place to visit. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your your beautiful gardens with us.

Beautiful place. Great staff who explained to us the process for the butterflies and the owners' story on how they made the place possible. We went in the monsoons, which is not butterfly season, so we didn't see many, but the garden and the location itself were worth the visit. They have a pond type waterfall where you can sit, and the fish come and nibble at your feet and a great collection of rocks and genuine fossils that the owners have collected. Nice place overall.

A must visit destination in Goa if you are a nature lover. An beautiful initiative by the owners which promotes conservation of nature and water harvesting. It is through the rain water harvesting that they have built such a lovely nature park which is attracting rare species of birds and butterflies. They have attractive collection of fossils. You can also enjoy the fish spa amidst the forest area built by them. Their roof top garden is an inspirational one.

We had visited this place last week. It was a great experience. They have maintained it so well with so many souls co existing in one place. The 2 hours spend was heaven on earth 🌎. The roof garden is so beautifully. It was great idea and I don't think I have anything like this before. The host is so soft spoken and I can see the passion to embrace nature in her house and the butterfly park. We did see some rare butterflies and also the guy explained everything so well. He was very honest about spotting butterflies. The fish spa was really relaxing amongst the nature trail. There were various collection of stones and we enjoyed it thoroughly. For the value of time, effort and passion which Dr Jyoti and her husband Mr Rohit are investing, the amount they are charging is very less. It is a great place to be in and I would recommend this place for nature lovers. If I happen to go to Goa I will definitely visit this place again.

Beautiful place. Lovely hosts. Felt like home. The terrace garden and foot spa is very interesting. Intelligently built eco-system in hot and humid Goan environment. Entry fee is 590/- for a family. If you are visiting early morning they arrange breakfast also on order, that's what the attendent told us.

Well maintained garden and owner charges 100 rupees per person. If you love nature, and have extra day to spend then you should visit or while going to Dhudsagar water falls, you can plan as it is on the same route. Fish spa was nice and really liked the roof top concept.

Mystic Woods run by Mr. Yashodhan and Dr. Jyothi is a perfect place to visit in Goa. It is a very distinctly lush green nature park. It's a treat for nature lovers, which consists of a butterfly park, artificial waterfalls through rain water harvesting. They have set an example on how we can have a roof top garden/harvesting through rain water harvesting. One shouldn't miss the wonderful collections of fossils. They also have accommodation facilities amidst the nature. A must visit destination for true nature lovers.

This place is great. If you are into nature walks, this place is a must. The wide variety of flora and fauna is amazing. The butterflies, the Budgies, all entail a fabulous experience. You also see a resident frog, who I call Rocky, The Frog, and little fishes to complete your pedicure dreams. Presley did our tour and he was great too. Best time to visit is November-December.

We recently visited the place around 12 noon and had a great experience there. Its a must visit for nature enthusiasts. The owner gave us a tour himself and clearly he is very passionate about butterflies, rocks, plants etc as the place is not easy to maintain. Anyone who rates this place poorly clearly doesn't appreciate the finer things in life. The tour lasted for about one hour and we saw so many different species of butterflies, rocks and fossils and they also have a very relaxing spot for fish spa. Truly a refreshing experience, very happy that we went there, and I will probably do it again the next time we're in Goa.

A great place hidden inside the Goa. You should must visit this place if you visit Goa. Goa is not only about beaches. There are some hidden gems too. The owners and the guide are very polite. The guide will explain you each and everything very patiently. He will answer all your questions.
You need to have patience here if you want a glimpse of the beautiful butterflies here.
Kudos to the owners, as they use rainwater harvesting to water the plants.
They also have a terrace garden.

A Must visit in Goa if you are nature lover and want do do something other than drinking and beaches.

You will see beautiful butterflies, rare plants, lot of bonsai's and beautifully drafted landscape built out of natural stones.

Great place to visit with kids. We went with our 2 and 7 year old boys and they had a fantastic time. We opted for a meal package and thoroughly enjoyed a simple yet yummy home cooked healthy meal. The hosts were wonderfully warm and went out of their way to make our boys feel welcome. Their terrace garden is goals and a treat for gardening enthusiasts like me. We loved the entire experience and would recommend it for anyone looking at a unique non commercial experience. Thank you for having us and being so hospitable Jyothi and Rohith. Will definitely be visiting again.

This conservatory has been developed and maintained by a local family who lives just down the lane and is managed by a local caretaker who will guide you inside throughout the park. We could not see many butterflies in our trip because it was slightly rainy. But the caretaker said that butterflies visit when it is sunny. The park is very well maintained with artificial ponds and water streams. There is also a pond with fish in it where you can sit and relax. If possible, the caretaker may also invite you to the owners house where you can visit their rooftop garden filled with orchids and other flower plants. The whole place is strewn with ancient looking stone statues and sculptures that add to the beauty of nature. Very underrated attraction that is limited by its isolated and solitary location

Nice place to visit. The Owner and caretaker are very friendly and give you a nice tour of the place. Although we did not see many butterflies, we saw various birds, insects etc. The roof top garden above the Owner’s home is also a must visit.

Credit goes to my wife for discovering this enchanting place through a Google search. Shri Yashodhan Heblekar graciously guided us through this gem nestled on the mountainside, a place he personally rejuvenated with water and trees. During the tour, he enlightened us about the diverse butterfly species and their life cycles, which were abundant in this picturesque location. He also showcased his remarkable collection of rare fossils and exquisite stones from nature's depths and craters, gathered with unwavering enthusiasm from around the globe.

The culinary experience was a delight, offering both delectable vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes with the flavors of Goan homely preparation, including mouthwatering sweets. The rooftop garden boasted rare plants adorned with vibrant flowers, some sourced from different corners of the world. Notably, the pitcher plants were a fascinating attraction, and Sh. Yashodhan's perseverance was evident as he revealed their success after a fourth attempt.

This place is a must-visit destination, allowing you to not only learn about the world of butterflies, moths, and insects but also witness the boundless enthusiasm of this couple in their mission to preserve these remarkable creatures.

Quaint hidden gem! It's a butterfly conservatory with rain water harvesting system. Run by an intellectual couple and a very helpful care taker Mr.Vijay. It's It's quite n beautiful n interesting place to visit! I loved it.

This is certainly the place if you want to spot some of the rarest butterflies. I went at about 9.30 am and with a little bit of patience and observation, I spotted Southern Birdwing, Tamil lace wing, Malabar Banded Peacock, Clipper, Rice Swift (Skipper), Common Jezebel, Glassy Tiger, Lemon Pansy, Common Sailor, Chocolate Pansy, Common Bushbrown, Common Rose and Common Mormon!! That’s not it, Mr Yashodhan has built a rooftop garden and has a large collection of fossils and stones from all over the world for you to see. You can also see carnivores plants that feed on small insects and experience a guided tour. There is ample parking and a whole lot more to do. So don’t miss this while you’re in this part of Goa!!

Spent the morning with my student's at this beautiful Butterfly Park managed by Dr. Jyoti and Rohit Heblekar.. It was one of the most wonderful outings we have had. The manner in which the park has been laid out and managed is just mesmerising. The student's found it all the more interesting because the exhibits at the park like the various stones is exactly what they are studying in school. The staff, Shubham was very informative and had so much patience. The way in which the greenery of the place is maintained and the rain water harvesting is done just shows the unconditional love of Dr. Jyoti and Rohith,
for nature. We all thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated the visit to the Park.

Good place for kids who are interested in science ... Mr Vijay guide was very humble with good knowledge of all stone's & about nature ... Roof top garden , fish spa in nature with running harvested water, love bird's & butterfly garden was very nicely maintained ..

Fish spa is must a try for all ...
