Tiracol is a village on the river right mouth of the Tiracol River and part of the Pernem Sub-Division of North Goa. Due to its location, it is geographically separated from Goa by land making it a Goan exclave in Maharashtra. It also happens to be the North-Western most point of the state. It is well known for its historical Portuguese era Fort[1] and Churches.
Though there is a road connecting the village to neighboring village of Redi, Maharashtra, the most frequented mode of entry is the ferry from Querim.[2]
