The Terekhol River is a river in western India. In its upper reaches it is known as the Banda River and in the lower reaches as the Tiracol.[1] It forms the boundary between Sindhudurg district of Maharashtra state and North Goa district of Goa state for some distance.[2] The Tiracol rises in the environs of the Manohargad in the Western Ghats and flows in a south-westerly direction to meet the Arabian Sea.[3]
The Portuguese era Tiracol Fort is located on the northern mouth of this river which is also in the far north-west of Goa, which has been turned into a heritage hotel now.[4] The fort has been converted into a tourist destination, maintained in excellent condition. From Querim, you can cross the Tiracol River by ferry and then it is 2 km to the fort. 600 meters from the Tiracol ferry point is the Hotel Hill Rock which has accommodation and a bistro in it.
