You can easily plan your trip by booking your stay at zostel/Airbnb and after reaching there you can rent a bike to travel Goa.

Hey Ankit, It's always better to plan on your own and enjoy in Goa .... Below are the places to see and stay :- Best beaches in Goa ... here s the few I could name for you ... Baga Calangute Palolem Anjuna Candolim Morjim Ashvem Vagator Sequerim Dona Paula beach Kalacha beach Miramar Majorda Baga and Calangute are best for night parties ... To see places in south Goa are :- Cabo de Rama - Ruins of Portuguese fort Colva beach Galgibaga beach Mahadev temple Cotigao wildlife sanctuary Three kings chapel Palolem beach Patnem beach Rajbagh beach Butterfly beach:- Take a boat from Palolem or Agonda beach and reach Butterfly Island or Beach. You can also take a 2 hour trek to reach this beach. This beach is accessible all 7 days of the week and you the time is from 9 am to 5 pm. I would suggest you go in evening, as the place is also famous for good sunset. Don't forget to share your experience on your Tripoto page. And never miss a boat ride in the waters also ... For stay options :- 1. Namyo hostel - Khalchawada, Arambol Beach Arambol, Pernem, 403524 07020348432 2. Happy Panda hostel - Mandrem road, Arambol, Goa 403524 http://happypanda.in 09673201979 3. Wanderers hostel - Madhla Vaddo, Opp. Nanu Wines, Morjim Beach Road, Morjim, Goa 403512 http://www.wanderershostel.com 09619235302 cheap stays are :- Hostel Zostel in Calangute Backpacker panda in Candolim Little India beach cottages in Baga Sai Palolem beach cottages Nikita Residency in Calangute Anjuna palms guest house near Anjuna beach Morjim sunset guest house is also good to stay in goa for reasonable rates ...

Hi Ankit, I always plan by my own, it give me freedom to plan thing as per my opinion. This is quite difficult if you are doing it by first time but you will love your journey if plan executed well. Keep below things in mind Do a lot of research Watch youtube videos Read blogs Book flight in advance Book hotel based on review and location Make itinerary Happy Travelling! Thanks, Yasmin

There is absolutely no need to book a package to goa. Plan it yourself..take help of tripoto and you tube in planning your travel. Travelling on your own will give you the benefit of having a flexible itenary and not to forget that it's cheaper too!!

It's actually better to plan on your own and do the bookings you could book a home stay if you are in large number or else you could book hotel there are great deals going on booking apps. Once there it's better to rent a bike or car than to hire that would be cheap comparatively and there is always tripoto community to look for an answer go through some blogs and you will have the idea to plan a good vacation.

Better to plan by your own and believe me the mistake or if things went wrong is the best adventure you will have on your trip( you will realize at the end of the day) And you can ask any kind of question here. Good Luck!! Happy Travelling!!

You can pre book your accomodation for the first day and once you reach Goa you can actually see around for cheaper places to stay in if you are a budget traveller.

If you're booking a package, it'll cost you more but then you won't have to worry about the itinerary and other arrangements, you can spend your time chilling and partying at Goa beaches. But if you go by yourself, all the arrangements will have to be done by you, and it may cost you even more than the bookings sometimes if you plan a last minute trip, but it is always gonna be fun and adventurous, and you can also spend your time according to yourself, skip the places you don't feel visiting etc.

Hi Ankit You should definitely plan your trip on your own. Packages doesn't cover everything. Just renk a bike there and explore on your own.
