This place really has a different vibe. Its an ancient temple built in the 12th century dedicated to Lord Shiva. The place is surrounded with greenery on all its sides and different flowers can be seen surrounding the temple. A must visit place and also well maintained. Please don’t litter.

A must visit temple. Really well maintained area, surroundings by archeological survey of India. A peaceful and calm place where you can meditate. Nature is in its full bloom during monsoons. The place is in forest and that’s why this temple from 13th century is untouched from invaders.

Amazing place in the centre of nature. We went there from Panjim, and it took us about 1.5 hrs. Out of this, about 45 mins was a drive through thick cover of trees. The temple is archaic and we felt quite peaceful once we reached there. Although, the journey to the temple was even more peaceful. The roads are single lane but with no potholes, so we had no issues driving on them even in heavy rainfall. Food? There a multiple small restaurants they you can find on your way to the temple, but at the temple, there are no restaurants, but small stalls setup by locals. You can find snacks like cookies, chips, etc., or you can also enjoy tea/coffee with pakodas and Maggie. Important to note is there’s no network around that area, so download your maps, and keep enough cash for you local purchase.

It's absolutely beautiful a very well maintained temple beautifully carved out of black basalt rock back in the 12th century. located deep in the Mollem Sanctuary ..the drive or ride to the temple is beautiful..long stretches of just dense forests. There is a Beautiful stream of water flowing right at the entrance of the temple. Also a waterfall around 4kms away. There are few stalls outside the temple serving refreshments ,tender coconut etc The temple is around 65-67kms away from panjim bus stand. You'll find yourself Surrounded by monkeys

Very beautiful small temple. We visited on 10 Jul 21. Temples gates were closed. No entry. Pathway is amazing.. gives you a feeling of hill station. Neat and clean surrounding. Toilets is available for male female but very dirty. The place is surrounded by monkeys. So better keep your hands free. Vehicle parking is available though small. Few small shops for snacks are available. Breath taking view in monsoon. Nearby by river streams are a great escape for taking a dip.

The small ,beautifully stone carved temple is dedicated to lord Shiva, an ancient temple for spiritual beings is mahadev temple located at place called tambdi surla at mollem. The temple was built in 12th century in a place which is away from main settlement of time.

A flow of river surla nearby🌊 The place is surrounded by monkeys 🐵 there are few snack stalls and vehicle parking 🅿️ is available.

The Tambdi Surla Temple in Goa is believed to date back to the 12th century. Path to this destination is very calming, through the forest area away from city noise. Known for its impressive architecture and historical significance and serene surrounding. Must visit place.

This place truly exudes a unique vibe. It is an ancient temple constructed in the 14th century, devoted to Lord Shiva. The surroundings of the temple are enveloped in lush greenery, with various flowers adorning the area. It is undoubtedly a must-visit destination, impeccably maintained. It's situated in South Goa, it's a little bit away from the usual places, many small tea shops are there for snacks, separate toilet facilities also available for both genders. Kindly refrain from littering the premises.

Lord Shiva’s temple built around 900 years ago. It was a neat n clean place full of greenery. The path to the temple is rocks filled with cement. There were washrooms and few eatable stores available nearby.

This place is a hidden gem in Goa. Many tourists do not even know such place exists in Goa. You will feel an entirely different vibe as soon as you arrive at this place. The temple is around 15kms from Mollem. The road is usual good and less crowdy. We visited during monsoon in the 2nd week of August. The temple is surrounded by lush green lawn and maintained very clean. You can do "Abhisheka" to lord Shiva. The main attraction of the temple is the small river that flows next to the temple. The water is so clean and cold. There are small shops selling flowers, beverages, pakodas and other snacks.

A divine place for peace. A 13th century structure, in a good shape with cleanliness standing out. Located inside a forest and good drive from south Goa.

13th century beautiful temple set in a serene location, surrounded by hills. The temple is clean, it's very peaceful here. The temple grounds are well maintained with manicured lawns. Its a short walk from the parking area with some monkeys to keep company as you walk along the path :)

Beautiful Ancient temple in goa. Well maintained garden. Monkeys can be seen near the temple. There are some stalls located at the main gate of the temple area. Toilet is situated out side the main gate.

The best time to visit this temple is in the morning and ideally during the Shravan month. Because during and after rainy days the surrounding becomes so beautiful and green. Rainy days add magic to the temple area. You can also trek to the waterfall starting from the left of the main gate. The trail is lovely and trek is not so difficult.

A serene place with divinity and peace aroound it. One can sit beside the stream and listen the natural sound of water. It's all made of basalt with shivalinga in the gargbhgriha and kamdhenu. In the temple mandapa there is carvw art work in pillars. Must visit for those who want to see natural beauty of nature. One can go for treck from the temple which leads to vertical waterfall if in visiting in monsoon.☺☺

Amazing scenic beauty here, especially in monsoons. The old Mahadev temple is beautiful as well

Well maintained temple by Archeological Society. It's right in the middle of forest cover. There is a stream of water flowing right next to it. Serene environment. Do visit. Maintain cleanliness & sanctity of the place.

The road is just simply awesome its at the end of a sanctuary please make sure you have ample of petroleum in your tank as there is no petrol pump on the way. The best part is the roads. Make sure you visit during day time and come back during day time the roads might not be safe at night as it runs through jungle.

It is a very beautiful place. The whole area will give you some hill station vibe you will be shocked that this is in goa. But the main thing is please remember - it is quite far from the city - there is almost no network at all in this place so don't trust Google maps or depend too much on your phone. It's better you have a local person helping you The ride to this place is also superb

The journey is very exciting and adventurous. It is 1.5 hour drive from Margaon and the place is inside Bhagwan Mahaveer wild life sanctuary. The jungle is lush green and road is very good. The temple is about 700 year old and built in 13th century. A day worth spent.

Must visit place. Shivji temple in the middle of woods.. I.e wildlife sanctuary.. temple made of stones in 12th century! Place was so calm and peaceful with birds enchanting, water flowing nearby temple. It's little far from main proper goa but worth a visit if you are religious and spiritual kinda person!

I had the privilege of visiting the Kadamba Shri Mahadev temple in Goa, and I must say it was a truly remarkable experience. The temple's serene ambiance and stunning architectural details left a lasting impression on me. The intricate carvings and sculptures depicting various mythological stories were awe-inspiring and showcased the skilled craftsmanship of the artisans. The peaceful atmosphere within the temple premises provided a perfect setting for introspection and spiritual contemplation. The temple's significance as a place of devotion and its historical importance added to the sense of reverence that one feels while being there.

Har Har Mahadev🕉️ OM Namah Sivaya🙏🏻 Ancient Hindu Temple located in a serene peaceful picturesque location deep inside the forest built during Kadamba Dynasty rule. You will feel that vibe near the sanctum. No mobile network, if you get atleast BSNL network then consider yourself lucky. Very clean & beautifully maintained temple. A must visit for all Hindus, Indians & Foreigners alike.

Mahadeva Temple, Tambdi Surla is a 12th-century Shaivite temple in the Kadamba style dedicated to Lord Shiva and an active place of Hindu worship. It is an ASI protected Monument of National Importance in Goa. One of the oldest temples in Goa alive after Portugese attack. The temple was built in the Kadamba style from basalt, carried across the mountains from the Deccan plateau and carved by craftsmen. It is considered to be the only specimen of Kadamba architecture in basalt stone preserved and available in Goa. The temple survived untouched due to its remote location in a clearing deep in the forest at the foot of the Western Ghats which surround the site. A beautiful temple and the surroundings. Very peaceful and serene. Please do not litter the place. A must must visit. HIGHLY RECOMMENDABLE.

If one visits Goa, one must visit this mahadev temple in tambdi surla. The temple covered with thick forest with natural beauty throughout your eyesight goes. Peaceful place to visit and enjoy the view of the temple carved from a single stone that too built around 13th century. Amazing marvels of past.

A very well maintained temple complex with alot of history amidst a think forest. The architecture and the serenity of this temple is mesmerizing . Can easily access the river in the front and enjoy quick snacks at stores near by. Would highly recommend visiting this place during monsoon to gather the best views of the prestine mountains and forest in its full glory

The oldest Hindu mandir of goa that survived from the Portuguese as it was hidden in the Dense forest Build in the 12th century the beautifully carved and perfectly proportioned black basalt mahadev mandir at tambdi surla, is considered to be the only specimen of kadamba-yadava architecture in basalt rock preserved and available in goa

Temple is located in Bhagwan Mahaveer Wild Life Sanctuary. The view is extraordinary and awesome with lush green forest. There is also river on the way to temple where one can have fun.

It's a beautiful temple located in middle of the forest. The place clean and well maintained. Inside the temple you will find the statues of other gods and goddesses and Shiva lingam in middle of the temple. It reminds me of the rich cultural heritage of South India. Besides, you will also find Nandi with no head, maybe the damage is done by the foreign Invaders. The temple has a mysterious past.

The temple itself was built in the 12th century. There are some interesting details about the construction itself which has led to debates about the actual origins of the temple. The temple is surrounded by lush green vegetation, and hence maintains a bearable climate throughout the year

Extreamly positive nice place in the lap of nature. Bit far from Panaji. No network at place for mobile.

Best temple i have visited. Very very old structure. Peaceful place. Well maintained. Small stream flowing near this insode the jungle , basically inside Bhagwaan Mahaveer Sanctuary. Dont forget to buy those lovely flowers from vendors at the gate.

Reached this temple from Kulem in 45 mins...Temple is surrounded by hills and Such a calm place. Lot of positive vibes and one should not miss this temple when there is a plan to visit Dhudsagar. You can see lot of butterflies while walking towards the temple !!!

This place is very peaceful! Well maintained but tourists are not doing their duty well.The natural beauty of this place is mind blowing. But outside the temple premises, there's a huge heap of plastic bottles, etc. Wish Govt could ban plastic bottles or bags in this area.

Very beautiful ancient Mahadev Temple located in the forest. Well maintained by the archeological department and the surrounding is kept clean. Good for family outing. There is a clean water flow just before the entrance of the temple.
