Palolem or Margoa

Posted by Pradyuth | Mon Feb 27, 2012 12:26 pm

We are a group of friends going to Goa next month. We will be first going to Bangalore and from there we will take a train to Londa. I want to know if there is any bus services to Palolem or Margao? In these two place, where exactly should we go? Which is nearby to Londa? And we will be there for 2 nights and 3 days so we want to know which place we can have fun as we don't have that much time to travel to 2-3 places in Goa. So please advice on which is a good place to stay and enjoy Palolem/margoa?

Cheers
Pradyuth

It depends of your rqeuirement. If you want to enjoy the beach life, then you can go to palolem wher you can get fair connectivity by taxies.
Margaon is a city from where you will have to hire some vehicles to visit any near-by beaches....
we visited Cola beach (16 Kms from Palolem) which is in south Goa. Cola is very remote place and provide complete calmness, no road connectivity, no water sports will be available there. you can stay in tents there.

In palolem, we stayed in beach facing huts, Palolem is quite happening place and more staying (Hotels/beach huts) options are available there as compared to Cola beach. If you people have only 2 days then I suggest to in at one place only.
I dont know much about the bus connectvity.

H! All's well with Palolem beach direct super coaches ply from Bangalore which pass through Canacona where Palolem beach is located.As for madgaon(Margao) the old Portugese charm is still somewhat available.Colva beach is located nearby.
