Goa is well connected to all the places of India and abroad via airways, land and sea. Here are a few tips to make your trip memorable and perfect!
How to reach Goa : Its simple. If you are staying at places like Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, Cochin, Bangalore etc, you can easily reach via bus. For others it would be better to check out the prices of airfare and train tickets. For all the backpackers, bus is the best and ultimate solution for your weekend getaway! There are a lot of bus operators who offer really cheap price for the bus fare. Check out and grab one for yourself!
Where to stay: Goa is full of resorts, bungalows , hotels and huts! The nost popular ones are found near Candolim, Calangute, Anjuna and Baga. We (Me & My fiance) stayed at a resort near Calangute. Avantika Resorts it is! You can book one before hand and find some good and perfect one. Staying in the main hot spot has a lot of benefits. The beaches are just 2-3 kms away and you can soak yourself in the sun kissed sand and white foamy waves. All the night clubs and pubs are plenty in these area. So, for boozing and sumptuous condiments , you can just recline and enjoy the music and lights around. There are a lot of hotels which might be cheap in Panjim. But staying there is not advisable , if you are lookng for some memorable expereince and nightlife. Panjim is around 15 kms from theCalangute beach which might be a hectic travelling.
Where to eat: You do not get breakast early in the morning at around 8 am anywhere except some nice breakast place. Some of the best ones according to me are Brittos , Infantaria, etc. Brittos serves english breakfast and is a bit pricey. If you are a lover of Indian food, Navtrara at Calangute is the best option. They serve a wide choice among South Indian, North Indian and English breakast. The food is just amazing and the price complements the food. We ate here for 2 consecutive days trying out new things like Mushroom chilly uthapam, Cheese Masala Dosa, Pav Bhaji, Sandwich etc. There are a lot more options than these. Its worth trying out!
Which places to visit: There are absolutely lot of places to visit are not in search of experience. Else , the elderlies believe , Goa is all same- Beach , Alcohol & Sea Food! If you are willing for some thirlling experience with water sports, try out para sailing, Banana Rides, Bumper rides etc. There are a lot of organisation which offer Scuba diving or beginners and intermediate level. You can contact them before hand and try out the new thing! Trust me , you will bet amazed having the glimpses of underwater! The colorul fishes, other sea creatures and corals just appear as a painting on a canvas. Apart from this, if you want to explore your night at a Club, there are a lot of options! Well , i would say, Sinq , Club Cubana are better. Tito's is much hyped and over crowed. LPK- Its not on the main road! This makes it dicult to reach! Apart from this, you can enjoy the sun downer panorama at any beach , Vagator or at Fort Aquada!
