This tour takes you to visit one of the most significant temples of this land of churches and temples – Saptakoteshwar temple at Narva. The deity of Lord Saptakoteshwar was hidden and buried and spirited away whenever Goa was under attack. One could say Lord Saptakoteshwar’s fortunes rose and fell with those of Goa. This temple was the final shrine built for the deity which has been worshipped for more than a thousand years by Goans and the crumbling temple was renovated by none other than Maharaj Chhatrapati Shivaji himself in 1688.
Next comes the exquisite Mayem Lake which nestles sparkling silver among low forested hills. The tour halts for lunch here. Then on via Mapusa town to beaches of Vagator, Anjuna, Calangute, Fort Aguada and a final stop at the Panjim Handicrafts Emporium.
