GOA the Paradise
Overview of the destination
The ultimate place to relax away from daily problem is GOA. Once u go there u dont feel like coming back. The beaches at night are really awesome.

Food, sight-seeing and shopping
There are various beaches in GOa and each one differs from the others. Donapaula,Baga,Calangute, Sinquirum(dont remember the spelling),Anjuna Beach,Vagator. We stayed in Aledia Beach Resort . Baga beach was just 2 min walking distance from our hotel.The Calangute and Baga beach has open air resturants. The best way to travel in Goa for couples is to hire a bike . U will get it anywhere for 200 bucks a day.We had reached in the afternoon. After having lunch we hired a bike and went to the 'Dil chahta hain' spot near to sinkerium beach. We stayed there till evening. At night the baga beach is the best place to sit and enjoy the food and drinks out there. Itz really amazing to have a candle light dinner beside the beach. We had food in a restuarant named Laxman .The food was so good that we went for the lunch next day also.The resturants in the Calangute beach are not nice. We had food in two of them they were not good. On the second day we went for water sports. It's better if u go ther at 8 in the morning so u can see the dolphins too. There is something call dolphin ride. If u go in the later part of the day u will get the ride but the irony is that u will not get to see any dolphin. They will say they will return the money if u dont se a Dolphin. But 'DONT BELIEVE THEM'. Than we went to dounapaula beach , miramar beach (the worst beach i had ever seen) and than back to hotel. Hey one important thing dont forget to get those tatoos done on your body.Had lunch in Laxman took a bit rest and headed to anjuna and vagator. the sunset there was really nice. The beaches there is totally different. It's made of stones . On the baga calangute road ther are lots and lots of shops on both sides of the road where u can shop from. On the third day we went to old goa and the most important thing is the criuse boats which u can get from panaji in the evening from 5 oclock . One should not miss that. The third day was dedicated to Panaji. We stayed there late also had our dinner in Hotel Foodland , the food there is really tasty. On the last day we again went for the water sports had our lunch at laxman and than back to bangalore in the evening.

Activities & things to do
One should not miss thw Water sports. If u go in the off season u will not get all the water sports. The best place for water sports is the Calangute beach. Water sports are there in other beaches also but Calangute and sinquirium beach has all the water sports. U can bargain with the people conducting the sports. the Sinquirium beach is a bit costly for the sports but there is less crowd there. DOnt leave any of these sports. Parasailing,water bike and banana ride for sure. It is not at all risky even if u dont know how to swim cause they will provide u a life jacket. Our hotel was on baga beach very near to Calangute so we went 2 days for sport.

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc.
There are various way u can reach there . From bangalore we went by Paulo travel Sleeper bus. We started on friday night and reached there saturday afternoon. If u go by train u have t travel more 3 hours on taxi to reach panaji. U can fly to goa too if it meets ur budget.
