Aashima Bhalla,
a HolidayIQ-er from Faridabad, tells more on how her dream came
true!
|

One of my long term dreams was to visit Goa. I have always fantasized
of going to a place where sands and beaches are in abundance; a
place to enjoy the natural beauty, scenery created by God. Goa seems
to fulfil my dream. Located on the western coast of the country,
Goa has Arabian Sea to one of its sides. The other faces comprise
Maharashtra in the north and Karnataka in the south and east. Together
with the coastal stretches of these states, Goa is part of a larger
cultural region known as Konkan. Northern Goa is more populated
and urban, while the south is more forested. Beaches apart, rice
fields and coconut plantations dominate the landscape.

We visited Goa this April. If you land on Goa, you shall
be amazed to find so many hotels and resorts in this
place. The sheer variety caters to all forms of budgetary
needs. We checked on HolidayIQ for a list of popular
hotels in Goa. Most of the hotels had good reviews,
and travellers who visited those hotels were thoroughly
pleased. Virtually all of the recommendations were for
booking in advance, but as we visited during the off
peak season, so we decided not to. In the end, we stayed
in Ronil Royale, which is near to the famous Calangute
beach.
We booked our flight on Spice jet, the journey was comfortable
and it took us nearly 2 hrs 15 min to reach Goa from
Delhi.

:: Include sightseeing in your package, because exploring places on your own in Goa is a little difficult since the places are quiet far off. We went to Mecky's Saturday night bazaar, but were not really interested in shopping as most of the items are available here in Faridabad at a much cheaper rate. |

| |
:: Activities like paragliding, banana ride, wave runner are real fun; the only condition is that you should know swimming and not be afraid of water. |
| |
|
| |
:: In Goa, you should not leave your hotel without applying sunscreen otherwise the skin will get badly burnt afterwards. |
