First I would like to suggest that if you are vegan food lover then goa is not the best you can get....And the exotic thing is goa is their night life you can make new friends on the beach or the pub at goa.
You can't take uber or ola in goa so you should rent a car or bike as their transport feel like too chaos
Things to do in goa
1:-Old goa for that Portuguese design churches
2:-Baga for shopping
3:-Mapusa for food and hotel
4:-dona paulo for goa tradition
etc etc
Enjoy your trip..........
Hey Nidhi,
For an off beating experience I suggest you to try adventurous sports you may find Flyboarding at morjim, snorkelling at Ilha Grande, wakeboarding, parasailing at candolim beach, jet skies at calangute beach, River rafting near Arambol. Choose a sport for an adrenaline rush experience and an unforgettable memory. Don't forget to explore the cities too. You can find some adventurous sports at the beach shores too in North Goa my favourite beaches are Baga,Arjuna and vagator. In South Goa it's Mobor and Colva
Have fun and safe journey
Hi I live in Goa , if u need to c more of night life I suggest u can stay somewhere in the north while if u wanna explore beaches etc u can stay in the extreme South , explore beaches like palolem, benaulim beach ,agonda ( at neptuned point check out the headphone party) , sunset Beach ( it's a bit lonely out here ) , hoping to know u are a non vegetarian u can try rechado squids,or bangda, chicken cafreal with Pau ,Goan pork sausages,fish curry rice,prawn curry rice at Nostalgia or furtados or Florentine. Also visit Reis magos fort ,take a ride towards the scenic greenary beauty via Raia Rachel, Curtorim , you can head off to Jila bakery which is very nearby to Raia and try chocolate eclairs, meltings , also visit the famous braganza mansion in chandor .
Hey, I found south Goa much exotic and less crowded compared to North, and I loved palolem beach as it has backwaters where you can hire small boat and go for bird watching. we watched many eagles, different kinds of birds. and it was very much secluded and beautiful beach !
Exotic and other than usual places are found in South goa. It is also less crowded and less commercialized than North. Palolem beach is your place if you are planning to stay in South part. You can find more details from my blog.
Happy traveling!
