About Chapora Fort in Goa

Located in the taluka of Bardez, the current structure of Chapora Fort in North Goa was built by the Portuguese on the same site of an older fort. Built in the year 1717, the fort is held by different rulers and kingdoms over the years. In the late 17th century, Chapora Fort was a stronghold of the Marathas while it served as a military outpost for the Portuguese a few decades later. It eventually fell to the Marathas in 1739 but lost its military significance over time.

Today, Chapora Fort in Goa overlooks a quiet stretch of Chapora Beach where families, backpackers, and honeymooners can be seen enjoying. Being perched on a hill, Chapora Fort has a beautiful location that attracts scores of visitors every day. This ancient laterite fort overlooks the mouth of the Chapora River. This enduring historical monument offers spectacular views of the Arabian coastline and sunset views.

The wall fortification follows the natural slope of the hill and its bastions are large enough to put cannons. The main entrance of Chapora Fort is small and narrow so that the enemy wouldn’t be able to enter easily.

The fort came into the limelight as it was one of the shooting locations in Goa for the 2001 Bollywood movie Dil Chahta Hai. The number of visitors to Chapora Fort certainly increased after the film. It is often called as ‘Dil Chahta Hai Fort’, by avid movie fans.

Puneet's 5 days trip to Goa

I recently went on a 4-day & 5-night honeymoon trip to Goa, it turned out to be one of the most memorable experiences of our lives — all thanks to Bindass Trip and especially Miss Anjali, our trip coordinator and I would like to give 5-star ratings to them. This was my first time visiting Goa; honestly, I had no idea where to begin. From the very start, Anjali made everything incredibly easy and smooth. She is one of the most polite, humble, and helpful people I’ve ever interacted with. She not only helped us plan a perfect itinerary covering North Goa, South Goa, Doodhsagar Falls, and an evening cruise but also stayed in constant touch throughout the trip to make sure everything was going well. What really stood out was her patience and willingness to go the extra mile, she even helped us modify one of our itinerary items at the last minute without any issues and arranged an early check-in at the hotel when we needed it. She made us feel cared for and genuinely looked after, like a friend who had our back throughout the journey. The hotel was excellent, the cab drivers were professional and courteous, and every detail of the trip was handled with care. For someone like me, who was completely new to Goa, having someone like Anjali as a coordinator made all the difference. I wholeheartedly recommend Bindass Trip to anyone looking for a safe, personalized, and memorable travel experience — especially for couples. And if you're lucky to have Anjali as your coordinator, you’re in great hands. Thank you once again for making our honeymoon truly unforgettable!
