Betul Fort
The Betul Fort, a testament to the strategic genius of the legendary King Shivaji. Perched at the confluence of the Sal River and the Arabian Sea, this 17th-century fort stands as a sentinel, its ruins whispering tales of a bygone era. As you approach the fort, the salty sea breeze carries the scent of coconut trees and the distant hum of fishing boats, setting the stage for an immersive experience. The single cannon, proudly facing the sea, is a poignant reminder of the fort's historical significance. Amidst the lush vegetation that has reclaimed much of the structure, you'll find an old customs house, a relic of the Portuguese era that followed Shivaji's reign. Here, the tranquility of the Sal River's mouth and the vibrant life of Betul village blend seamlessly, offering a unique glimpse into Goa's rich and complex history. As you explore, the panoramic views of the Arabian Sea and the picturesque village below will leave you enchanted and connected to the essence of this hidden gem.
