About Cabo de Rama in Goa

One of the most underrated tourist spots in Goa, the Cabo de Rama Fort in the Canacona region of South Goa, is a must visit for those looking for an off-beat location to explore.

The fort is spread over 18000 square meters. The cabo de rama fort history says that it was named after Lord Rama, who along with his wife Sita, came to spend some time of their 14 years of exile at the fort. It used to be known as Rama Killa back then, after which there were minor clashes among other rulers to gain access to the fort. The fort was constructed by Soonda rulers, during the 16th century, and was later taken over by the Portuguese in the year 1763.

It is located between two popular beaches of Goa, namedly Agonda Beach and Cavelossim Beach. Right below the fort, there is a small beach as well, measuring nearly 500 meters, known as the Cabo de Rama beach. Although the fort is currently in ruins, it is a great place to visit to soak in the heritage and architectural styles, which is a mix of Indian and Portuguese. After the Britishers invaded, Cabo de Rama in Goa was turned over to them in the year 1792, after which they too abandoned it in the year 1813. In the year 1955, it was turned into a prison, but later was left in ruins after being abandoned for the last time.

There are moats, ramparts, a watchtower, cannons, springs, water tank and a small chapel, which is still operational, and an annual feast is held here every year.

Aparna's 6 days trip to Goa

Aparna Chakravarti New delhi

Suresh's 4 days trip to Goa

On the first day of arrival due to our flight delay we checked in at hotel late at night . But even after informing , dinner was not provided for us , even though we had two small kids with us . Second , the cruise that was booked for us was not good . It was very local . If we had known about it before we would have asked to change the cruise and paid additional charges too . We are so disappointed after reaching the cruise . Thirdly , we were not informed that there will be no scuba diving and snorkeling . But it was mentioned in the package

Harshal's 3 days trip to Goa

The overall trip was good. However inspite of intimating that we would be reaching early at the hotel and to give early check in for atleast one room we were made to wait for atleast 3 hrs. I feel that should be taken into consideration. The taxi driver didn't inform us that one of the locations were to close by 5 pm and hence missed the sightseeing as it was already closed, which was another disappointment. Anyways we built good memories out of our vacation.

Karthi's 5 days trip to Goa

Overall the trip was good. Below were some points which definitely required improvements. 1. Hotel - They have changed the room in-between from cottage to Executive room. This is not as per the plan. We have to repack everything and shift the things. 2. The common pickup and drop bus for the Cruise and water sports activities is not at all proper. There is no proper communication to the commuters about where they have to get down and where they have to present for pickup. I went on a Bus for Cruise dinner, where many people where there and most of them were not aware like where they have to get down as there seems to be multiple cruise stops. Driver also not informing properly. After many enquired about the stopping, he has checked the list and dropped in between. Then we walked around 500 meters again to the original stop. 3. The water sports pickup and drop also same issue. We were picked by Bus, in-between the person shifted us to CAB. The CAB person dropped us in the location and for pickup he asked to come where the he has dropped. But when we returned from the watersports activity, we didn't see any CAB in that location. Also, no one informed us about where we have to go for the proper pickup. Then we have called the person who arranged and he directed us to a BUS stand where the actual pickup bus was there. [Additionally, to be noted there is no seats available in the BUS. The BUS is too crowded and many people were standing completely till their stops comes.] 4. The water sports activities mentioned and agreed in the plan is not all what we experienced. 1. The water sports cruise was too crowded with lot of people in groups. 2. They have given priority for the groups and we were forced to wait for longer time. 3. The water sports activities is a big disappointment. Because out of the 6 activities mentioned, we were allowed for only 3. That too with very long waiting time and the activity also very short near to the cruise boat. We noticed that person has to give some extra amount to the persons who is conducting these activities in-order to take us for a bit long ride.

Vishak's 7 days trip to Goa

Could have swapped days with leisure day when it was raining. Travel agent just passed one day with no refund or anything. Had a whole day wasted in the trip.

It is surely a deserted place, with the possibility of not seeing another person for quite a while, especially on a day with less tourists. Maybe the deserted air has given rise to the haunted theory, since there are no such evidence supporting the same.

There is plenty to see near the Cabo de Rama fort, such as Agonda Beach, Cola Beach, Varca Beach and Patnem Beach.
