Houses of Goa- Chandor

The ancient city of Chandor ( Chandrapur ) served as the first capital of Goa for the Bhojas and the Kadambas.

Right from an Excavation site to the Goa's most famous houses built in the Portuguese era, Chandor is a place that never ceases to amaze you. This journey also includes a visit to St Tiago chapel, outside which you find the stone with the curse of the queen. We have visits to some prominent houses of this area included in the trail.

The Trail will help you discover the Origins of Goa, and compare it with the contemporary lifestyle. The walk is for tourists as well as locals :)
