| Prriya Delhi Delhi | 10th June 2008 | | Beautiful Goa | Overview of the destination We (me and my husband) were searching many destinations for our honeymoon in April 2008.. we had many beautiful locations on mind.. and finally we decided GOA... reason being that you can have a leisure and luxurious time in goa and you can have a fun filled and adventurous holiday there too... the place is beautiful.. although the month of April is not a very good time to visit Goa, but still.. we choose it.. we planned to stay in south goa to have a peaceful and comfortable holiday.. and then another 3-4 days in north goa/ panji city to get another flavour of holidaying in Goa....
South Goa is simply beautiful.. great for people who are searching peaceful and 'Do not disturb' types of holidays.. beautiful long beaches with fishermen and their nets in the morning and evening with fishes and crabs in their nets.... beach shacks were good... you will not see many people on the roads.. and the public road transport is somewhat missing.. but still i love the holidays in south goa... whereas there is lot of people in another side.. North Goa and Panaji City...Food, sight-seeing and shopping Goa always welcome people who want new flavours and cuisines.. beach shacks are must visit thing to get some real good food.... if you are budget conscious.. you can try some local shops for local taste....
for sight seeing.. all of us know that goa is famous for beaches.. south goa beaches like Colva are really beautiful and long as compared to north goa beaches (calangute, baga etc.) one thing that people miss while in Goa that goa also have a rich mountain and trees area also.. while in south goa.. you can go for go -kart.. a kart sport which is situated on the hills and you have to have a personal vehicle to go there.. but it has some of the beautiful scenes and adventures... for shopping.. south Goa is not a destination.. you have to visit panaji city or north Goa.. cashew of Goa is world famous.. so.. buy some different types of cashews that are very easily available in the panaji city.. frankly speaking you will not get a fair deal while shopping in Goa.. so.. personally I dont visit goa with shopping in mind.. go there for fun, pleasure, adventure and leisure.... Activities & things to do you can have numerous activities to do there.. to list a few...
- visit churches, forts, temples..
- hire a bike and explore the real goa..
- while at colva beach try water sports.. you can find water sports like.. parasailing, speed boating, dolphin ride, banana ride.. banana ride you can get at north goa beaces (calangute and baga) all others are available majorly on colva baga, calangute etc.. but the rates are cheaper in colva than in north goa..... Go for cruise rides.. in panaji city.. try to visit the near by islands by ferry.. for eg. CHARAO island which have some temples, a bird sanctuary etc.. buy a Goa map and explore Goa.. the experience is mazing Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc. Do a good search before planning about resorts and hotels.. try to bargain.. Goa is easily reachable by train, bus, flights... | |
