| North of Arambol, the sinuous
coast road climbs to the top of a rocky, undulating plateau, then winds
down through a swathe of thick woodland to join the river Arondem, which
it then follows for 4km through a landscape of vivid paddy fields,
coconut plantations and temple towers protruding from scruffy red brick
villages. The tiny enclave of Terakol, the northernmost tip of Goa, is
reached via a clapped-out car ferry from the hamlet of Querim, 42-km
from Panjim, The Fort It was a key Portuguese fort for the defense of Goa, on the north side of the estuary of the Teracol River, the most northern boundary of Goa. Hyped as one of the state's most atmospheric historic monuments, it turns out to be little more than a down at heel country house recently converted into a low-key luxury hotel. Decorative turrets and dry moat with commanding views of the estuary and ocean mark the fort. If ones visit coincides with the arrival of a guided tour, one may get a chance to look around the gloomy interior of the chapel of St. Anthony, in the fort's claustrophobic cobbled square; at other times it's kept locked. The Chapel also has a classical late Goan facade. |
How To Get There |
|
By Road The few visitors that venture up to
Teracol tend to do so by renting a motorbike and heading back at the end
of the day to the relative comfort of Calangute or Baga. If one runs out
of fuel, the nearest service station is at Arambol. One of GTDC's daily
tours from Panjim comes up here, as does one daily Kadamba bus from the
capital; alternatively, the 7.00 am bus from Siolim, on the Chapora
river, pulls in at the Querim ferry an hour later. |
Places To StayAccommodation is limited to the Posh Hotel Tirakhol Fort Heritage. The restaurant downstairs offers seafood, Indian and Chinese dishes, as well as beer. |
