Three Kings Chapel overlooks the beautiful south Goa area and Arabian Sea. It's quite lovely and depending on the time of year, you will see lots of fields of vegetables or rice paddies amidst all the other vegetation and palms. The chapel itself was not open (only one day a month I think our guide said), but it was worth the trip. If you are there with a guide, be sure to ask about the ghost stories and the three kings activity/processional each year. It's quite a hike if you walk it so be sure to take water. If you ride a bike, you will likely need one with some electric support, or drive up if in a car. The last part you will have to walk: by taking the rode or by the stairs. If you choose the longer rode option, you are likely to see monkeys, so we recommend that option!

On the drive out from Colva back to Pune we decided to visit the Mahadev Temple in the forests of the Bhagwan Mahaveer Wildlife Sanctuary. We had to take a left turn off the Anmod Ghat Highway, at Dharbandora, and drive along a narrow forested road of the sanctuary for 23 km. The road was very smooth and scenic through tiny villages and giant trees on both sides. It took us about half an hour to get to the temple parking area from Dharbandora. The small temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva, and was built in the 12th century by the Kadambas, and is one of the only Hindu temples to have survived the ravages of the Muslim and Portuguese invaders of Goa, in its original form. The presiding deity in the form of a Lingam is mounted on a pedestal in the inner sanctum. Bas-relief figures of Lord Shiva, Lord Vishnu and Lord Brahma, with their respective consorts appear on panels at the sides of the temple. There is a headless Nandi Bull at the centre of the mandap. The temple is surrounded by well kept lawns and plenty of greenery and is maintained by the ASI. A small river runs by the temple. The temple is a short walk from the parking area through a well kept pathway. There are some small snacks and drinks stalls and a public washroom near the parking lot. The temple does not have many other commercial stalls selling puja offerings, nor any pujaris and beggars trying to relieve you of your belongings, so it is a very good place for a pure darshan of the Gods, either in the form of stone or natural beauty. Beware of the friendly monkeys though.
