Detailed Overview

Explore these temples in the company of an archaeologist to appreciate this mix of ancient ones that escaped the wrath of the Portuguese and a set of temples rebuilt after they left India. In this Goan temple tour, we will visit the Mahadev temple at Tamdi Surla, which was built in Hemad-Panti style, the popular Mangeshi temple, and the unique Shiva temple at Saptakoteshwar. This is an all-inclusive trip where we take care of transport, lunch, activities, and the services of an archaeologist.
