Day 1 : Day Itinerary
Palolem beach - Located in Canacona, South Goa; it is another famous beach. It's known for its beautiful crescent – shape that makes it possible to see both the ends from the Centre of the beach. Featured in Matt Damon English Movie The Bourne Supremacy; it's another kind of beach with Green Island; it's definitely one of the places to be in. This beach is also known for a good Nightlife. It’s known amongst tourists for party hard here. Go towards Silent Noise Party at Neptune Point. Enjoy the music on your headphones and dance till the music ends.
Cabo de rama fort: Located in Canacona taluka Cabo da Rama - Cape Rama -, takes its name from Rama, the hero of the Hindu epic Ramayana, who, along with his wife Sita holed up here during his exile from Ayodhya. The promontory was crowned by a fort centuries before the Portuguese cruised in and wrested it from the local Hindu rulers in 1763.
Various rulers held the fortress on this site for many years, and it was in 1763 that it was gained by the Portuguese from the Raja of Sonda. It was subsequently rebuilt, and what remains today, including the rusty cannons, is entirely Portuguese. Although the fort saw no real action after the rebuild.
Shantadurga Kunkalikarin Temple - Shri Shantadurga Kunkalikarin Temple is located at Fatorpa of Quepem Taluka and is one of the oldest temples of Goa. It is also one of the prime places to visit in Goa. This temple is dedicated to Goddess Shri Shantadurga. Originally from Cuncolim village in Salcete Taluka, the Portuguese removed the Goddess to Fatorpa in 16th Century during religious persecution.
During the reign of Maratha ruler Chhatrapati Shahu, the temple was reconstructed which was previously destroyed by Portuguese invasion. The temple complex is on the foothills of a mountain chain bordered by greenery in all sides. At the entrance of the temple of Shree Shantadurga Kunkalikarin, there is a massive doorway called Mahadwar. The temple has the big gold plated Kalash that is built on the main dome with ornamented designs. In the garbha graha, there are two statues of Shree Shantadurga. One is in a sitting position and the second idol of the Devi is in standing position. The same is the Darshanamurti because the devotees can take darshan of her daily. This statue is made up of the five metals. She is standing on a patt. She holds a trishul, sudarshan chakra and an arrow in her hand.
The annual 'Zatra' falls in the month of Pausha Shuddha Navami and attracts thousands of devotees and tourists from all over the world. Every year thousands of visitors visit Shantadurga temple. There are agrashala or guesthouses within the temple compound to accommodate the visitors.
Madgaon Market - The capital of prosperous Salcete taluka, Margao – referred to in railway timetables and on some maps by its official government title, Madgaon – is Goa’s second city, and if you’re arriving in the state on the Konkan Railway, you’ll almost certainly have to pause here to pick up onward transport by road. Surrounded by fertile rice paddy and plantain groves, the town has always been an important agricultural market, and was once a major religious Centre, with dozens of wealthy temples and dharamshalas – however; most of these were destroyed when the Portuguese absorbed the area into their Novas Conquistas (“New Conquests”) during the seventeenth century.
Today, Catholic churches still outnumber Hindu shrines, but Margao has retained a cosmopolitan feel due to a huge influx of migrant labor from neighboring Karnataka and Maharashtra.
Colva Beach- Colva beach is one of the wonderful beaches of this side, which one can easily visit. Enjoy a brisk walk, soak-in the serene ambience; treat your eyes to the mesmerizing views.
