Geography
Cunchelim is located at 15°36′0″N 73°49′0″E / 15.60000°N 73.81667°E at an elevation of 14 m above MSL.[1] It is almost like a flat valley surrounded by fragrant trees and cashew bushes and palm spiked groves on the neighbouring hillocks. It has a famous rivulet, known as Lover which originates at the feet of the hillock up the Gotniche Vau and rushes down to the Kuntla spring which offers a panoramic view of the waterfall during the monsoons.[2]
Location
Cunchelim is 2 km from Mapusa. It can be reached in 2 ways, one by alighting at the first intersection on entering the village, by taking the daily buses operating between Mapusa and Siolim via Marna and walking 300 metres, or the more simple way by taking the Mapusa-Camurlim or Mapusa/Siolim bus via Sodiem which directly takes one to the main junction where most of the village dwellings are clustered. It is landlocked on all sides surrounded by Duler in the south, Siolim (Marna) in the west, Camurlim and Colvale in the north and Tivim in the east.[2]
Places of interest
- The chapel of Nossa Senhora da Fuga
- Kuntla Spring, which is very much famous for its healing water and is well protected by the Tourism department. There are 2 bridges built across the rivulet, one almost similar to the Panaji Patto bridge known as the Porno Sanvok. [2]
- There are also small temples dedicated to Lord Dattatreya and Saibaba and small chapels of Holy Cross in two of the wards at Cunchelim.[2]
