Amazing Service
This place is a nature lover's paradise The Three Kings Chapel sits atop a hill, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Arabian Sea, Cansaulim beach, and the lush greenery below. The scenic hike to the chapel is filled with coconut trees and vibrant flora. It's perfect for photography and taking in the serene beauty of Goa.
Good Service
This chapel is a must-visit for the vibes alone The annual Three Kings Feast is lit, with a procession of young kings on horseback, a brass band, and tons of local culture. The festival is so much fun, and the chapel itself has this eerie yet fascinating ambience. Plus, the views from the top are stunning. Definitely recommend for a fun and unique experience.
Good Service
Took my teens to the Three Kings Chapel and it was a great family outing. The chapel's historical and cultural significance made for some interesting discussions. The annual festival is a wonderful way to experience Goan traditions, and the procession with the young kings is really special. The hilltop location offers amazing views, and it's safe and family-friendly. Just be prepared for some stairs
