When people talk about planning trips to Goa, the first thing that comes into our minds is , a lot of alcohol and weed; and definitely a lot of nights without sleep and wild parties.

There is that side of Goa no one can eliminate, and probably it shouldn't be, since not many parts of our country can offer that to you.

But Goa as a destination has a whole lot to offer you, apart from it's low cost beer and herbs.

Palolem Beach

The beer shop outside the beach just came handy, and the shacks were too peaceful to enjoy the tides hitting the shores.

Day 1

Since our hotel 'Casa Bribone' was situated just next to Calangute beach, we started with it's exploration on Day 1. We just sat down had a few pints and took in the mystic view of the waves hitting the shores. The rain that came and went during this made the scenario even more beautiful and mesmerizing.

What makes Aswem beach special and make it stand out from the other beaches, are the beautiful stones that boundaries the beach just as the sand and grass ends. Those stones are just the perfect place to sit down and let the waves hit your feet and gulp onto your drinks and maybe enjoy a corn.

Day 2

All this while, I had thought that Goa was all about it's beaches and clubs, Chorla ghats had really changed all my perceptions about trips to Goa, because with the change in altitudes and seas changing into hills was the only thing you can ask for, after visiting the serene beaches.

The scooter ride to Aguada fort, located a few kilometers away from Calangute beach is one of the better and easiest rides you'd experience in Goa, with altitude rising, the roads are still very subtle and beautiful to ride on. The fort consists of large premises that are build at a good height and close in on roads on one side and sea on the other, providing just the perfect spot for enjoying some good evening weather and a good photo session.

Day 3

After visiting most of the famous beaches of Goa, and then moving further to Chorla Ghats, we knew we wanted to discover some mystical yet legendary spot. A secluded beach that offered a peep into the wildlife was going to be just the ideal thing, and we decided to leave for Butterfly beach(an undiscovered beach) but when we were about 10 kms away, we got to know that the difficulty in the way would prevent us to get there on time, and hence we decided to visit the Palolem beach which was beautiful too.

The beer shop outside the beach just came handy, and the shacks were too peaceful to enjoy the tides hitting the shores.

Goa has a whole different world to offer you, if you get there and respect each and every intricate detail of the spot and the local residents along with building a connect that would enable you to explore the best sand and best delicacies of the state. GO AND GET IMMERSED INTO THE BOHEMIAN SPIRIT OF GOA.
