The Chapora Fort, made famous by the DCH movie, is situated at the north of Vagator beach, and can be approached from the Western beach side, as well as the South side. By foot. Yesterday, we attempted it in Samara. With a full load of screaming and excited kids and adults. And we almost reached the top. Here are some pics from the "event".

| Almost at the top from the South side, further progress aborted due to fear of some of the larger rocks and the steep slope coupled with lack of turning space at the top |
 |
Beautiful view from the top |
 |
| Wonderful greenery engulfs the fort's ramparts |

| Looking back at the slope we climbed, notice the loose rocks and gravel |
 |
| Back to base, this photo gives a true picture of the steep slope |

Have we been to the DCH fort on any of our trips? I'm having the hardest time remembering.. Nice Pictures :)
Ok, I have definitely not seen half of these places - Zoo Zoo hill, Vagator, Morjim.. All new names for me..
No, I had gone there with the Bridgestone team on our first outing to Goa...
