Divya Kannan

Chapora Fort is one of the oldest forts and it is a famous place in North Goa. The fort offers picturesque views. The fort is nestled between the Arabian sea and the Nerul river. The top of the fort is just beautiful with the views of the sea and the river.
It is a short hike up the hill and it might be a bit difficult for senior citizens. It will take about 20-30 minutes to reach the top of the fort. There are many small shops that sell fruits and hydrating drinks for the tourists near the parking lot. The price of the products are definitely a bit hiked.
The fort's cleanliness definitely needs some action. The top of the fort has so many plastic bottles and wrappers thrown around the place. It is saddening that a fort with such beautiful views is not being taken care of by the tourists and the administration. Overall the Chapora Fort is definitely a must visit place in North Goa.

Reis Magos Fort is one of the best forts in Goa. It has picturesque views and the lush greenery is very attractive during the monsoons. It is a 20 minute walk uphill to view the fort completely. It is near Candolim, North Goa. We have to pay an entrance fee of Rs. 50 per person to enter the fort. The only drawback is that the sea shore near the parking area is not that clean. Apart from that, it is a must visit place during your time in North Goa.

Nice park and walking area. Currently, there is no play area for kids, it's under renovation I believe. It's a decent place to spend time with family. The maintenance of the lake and the walking area could be improved a little.
