Visited this place with the family at the end of December 2012. Since we are hardcore bird watchers, our objective was to see the hornbills in the area.

The property is set against a portion of the beautiful River Kali. The view of the river, nature activities + the water sports facilities that the property arranges for/provides are reasons to stay at the Bison River Resort -- but if you're looking for a luxury stay at the same time then this isn't the best choice. The property itself... More

It was our second wedding anniversary and in the grueling heat of Goa, a 2-day break to the jungles seemed like a nice idea. My cousin had previously stayed at Bison and he suggested I try this place. I read the reviews and was a little skeptical initially but decided to go ahead and book a room over the phone.... More

We had been to this resort with my bunch of college friends. The resort is special because it is located on the awesome place near the bison river. As the name suggests, Bison river is an awesome river with water flowing like an angry bison. We crossed the river using a boat and had a small waterfall where we enjoyed.... More
