Shree Saptakoteshwar Temple (40 min.): This small temple is dedicated to Lord Saptakoteshwar, an incarnation of Lord Shiva. The deity, which was originally in a temple on Divar Island, was moved to its present site after the island temple was destroyed by the Portuguese. The great Maratha warrior king, Shivaji, ordered its renovation at its present site in 1668 during his attempt to oust the Portuguese.

Lamgao Cave Temples (10 min.) : These caves just outside Bicholim village can only be reached on foot. The smaller cave contains a phallic lingam and a stone carving of Nandi the bull, the steed of Shiva. It is believed the Buddhist monks and worshippers originally dug the caves.

Shri Datta Mandir at Sankhlim (5 min.) : The 19th century temple on the banks of the Mandovi is of unusual design, with a blue multi-tired spire instead of the domed roof more common in Goan Hindu Temples.
