Introduction to Rachol Ferry Point

Nestled on the left bank of the Zuari River, Rachol Ferry Point is a tranquil oasis that whispers tales of Goa's rich history and vibrant culture. As you step onto the ferry ramp, the gentle lapping of the river's waters against the shore and the soft chirping of birds create a soothing melody that sets the tone for a journey through time. Here, you're not just crossing a river; you're bridging the gap between the past and the present. The ferry point is a gateway to the historic village of Rachol, with its ancient fort remnants, the venerable Church of Our Lady of Snows, and the bustling local bakery, each offering a glimpse into the traditional life and superstitions of the villagers. As you wait for the ferry, a solitary cockerel might trot by, adding a touch of rustic charm to this serene and historically significant spot.
