Susegad Goa

Sometimes you are afraid to ask some questions because they sound stupid, like, Why do you love Goa? Well, why does anyone love Goa?

The answers to these questions are actually quite simple…

What do you do when you wanna party? Goa

What do you do when you wanna take a vacation? Goa

What do you do when you wanna have romantic get-away? Goa

What if you are an adrenaline junkie? Goa

What if you are a history buff? Goa

What if you like travelling alone? Goa

What if you wanna have a reunion? Goa

and What do you do when you have nothing to do? Goa

There are so many things to do in Goa, a single vacation will NOT BE ENOUGH! I have been here many times because I undergraduate college was hardly 4 hours away from Goa.

Now, what exactly does Goa offer?

Well for starters, it has over 20 beaches.

North Goa: Anjuna, Arambol, Baga, Bambolim, Calangute, Candolim, Chapora, Dona Paula, Miramar, Morjim, Sinquerim, Vagator.

South Goa: Agonda, Benaulim, Bogmalo, Canaguinim, Cavelossim, Colva, Majorda, Mobor, Palolem, Varca.

St. Cathedral

Alright…..this is a must visit – How do I get there?

Depends on which part of the country you are coming from. Flight, Bus, Train or car – your call.

Okey-dokey…..What do I pack?

Some Music, Swimwear, Camera, Sandals, Shorts, Sunscreen, Novels, Shades and the most important of all – Your Drivers Licence.

Okay… I have a one whole week….gimme something of everything…the most important places!!

Beaches – Anjuna, Baga, Calangute, Vagator, Arambol, Dauna Pola.

Architecture- basilica of Bom Jesus, Se Cathedral, Aguada Fort, Chapora Fort.

Party- Club Cubana, Love Passion Karma

Adventure – Trekking @ Dudhsagar falls, Paragliding at Arambol.

Food- Cafe Mambo, Bora Bora.

Whats the best time to visit?

There is nothing in the entire country that matches Goa during New Years. SUNBURN (27th-31st December every year)– it’s fantabulous.

What if I have extra time on my hand?

You wouldn’t. In case you do – the entire Western Ghats is yours – Gokarna, Murudeshwar, Dandeli, Koddachadri, Coorg, Kudremukh, Jog falls, Udupi, Agumbe……..

How much do I need?

If you wanna enjoy everything (6-8 days)- have at least 18000-20000 rupees.
