Overview

We are in the city of Chandrapur which also happens to be the 'Oldest known capital of Goa'! Picture the days gone by where it had armies, fortifications, battles and flourishing trade. Right from the Bhojas to the Kadambas, Chandor was a thriving settlement due to the connectivity that the river Kushavati provided to the travelers. The village is famous for the legend of a queen's curse that was brought upon the village as a result of treachery of the warriors of the kingdom. We will be exploring Chandor as it stands today speaking of its rich past and we meet the current generation of the family members of one of the most prestigious heritage homes in the village. Join us as we take a look at Chandor through its houses.

Note: This is not a Walking Trail. We would need transportation to travel from point to another during the trail. We, Soul Travelling does not provide transport facilities. Please bring along your own vehicle to move around in the village.

Fernandes house in Chandor village is one of the oldest remaining palacios in Goa. Occupied by Sara Fernandes and her son Rajeev. The house has a decided air of elegance.

It was one of my best experiences in India. Keegan was my tour guide, he was so friendly and professional. He just wanted to make sure we got all the information about the places. Would recommend for anyone to visit Goa to take the tour to understanding more about the places.
