Chorla Ghat, Mountain pass in Western Ghats, India

Chorla Ghat is a mountain pass in the Sahyadri range of the Western Ghats, where the borders of Goa, Karnataka and Maharashtra meet at about 800 metres. Its subtropical forest holds rare wildlife such as the barred wolf snake. Twin Vajra Waterfalls and the peak of Lasni Temb lie within the area.

The pass gained importance over time as a location for nature research and protecting the biodiversity of the Western Ghats. A conservation facility was established here to conduct long-term studies and monitoring of the region's animal and plant species.

Chorla Ghat lies where the borders of Goa, Karnataka and Maharashtra meet, about 50 km by road north-east of Panaji. The Nature Conservation Facility set up here serves as a field station for ecologists and wildlife biologists studying the Western Ghats and their biodiversity. Visitors come for foot trails, jungle walks, treks and hikes, and for the machans and hides used to watch wildlife such as the barred wolf snake.

Access to the area comes through several hiking trails and viewing points that lead through the subtropical forest. Designated wildlife hides allow visitors to observe animals in their natural habitat without disturbing them.

Chorla Ghat's subtropical forest is one of the places where the barred wolf snake (Lycodon striatus) has been recorded, a rare species for the area. The pass sits at 800 m where the borders of Goa, Karnataka and Maharashtra meet, about 50 km by road northeast of Panaji.
