Olaulim

Olaulim is a scenic village in Bardez sub-district, North Goa, India.

[1] The village lies between the lush green hills that separate it off from Bastora and Porvorim on the West and the back waters of the Mandovi River on the East.

Those are the nearest villages with the Dr. Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary just across the river in Chorao.

The village of Olaulim had been home to survivors of the brutal World War 2 attack on Rangoon, Burma where many Goans had flourishing businesses.

(details of the hardships faced by these families when fleeing Rangoon to return to Olaulim, Goa can be found in the book "Songs of the Survivors" by Yvonne Vaz Ezdani).
