    SIGHTSEEING TOURS IN GOA

    NORTH GOA TOUR

    North Goa unfolds its picturesque Mayem Lake. Mapusa City Market, Sandy, Rocky Calangute, Baga, Anjuna and Vagator Beaches, Impressive Aguada Fort and Panaji Handicraft Emporium.

    Calangute Beach

    Calangute: Calangute is the beach to which everyone heads for the moment they land in Goa. So it is natural that it is overcrowded in both in peak and off seasons. This huge seven-kilometer sweep of sand located 15 kms from Panaji, is called the 'Queen of Beaches'.

    All the travel agencies and tour operators have a base here from where bookings are done for most of all the other beaches. Years of tourism has brought in a tremendous change in the scenario and therefore, hotels and guesthouses stretch uninterrupted from Calangute to Baga.

    The village of Calangute has all basic facilities like post office, banks, foreign exchange offices, resort companies, all kind of eateries and medical facilities. The number of internet cafes in Calangute might totally exceed the number in the entire city of Panaji. Huge showrooms filled with exquisite handicrafts from Kashmir, Tibet, Indonesia, Rajasthan and other exotic places, line up the main road running towards Anjuna. But the beach as such is not the best of all. There are no swaying palms nor are there any traditional boats lying there to add variety. The waves are bigger and heavier here due to the rapid drop.

    Baga:
    As compared to Calangute Beach , it is more quieter and also more isolated. Its scenic beauty, with the creek, the Retreat House perched on the hill and the lack of local tourist buses all have contributed to its unique beauty. It is more popular with western tourists who love to use it as a base for water sports and fishing in the area.
    Baga Beach

    Traditional Goan cooking calls for plenty of muscle and time. Grinding is always part of the recipe and the nicer the dish the longer it takes to make. Goan food is simple but most, though not all, of it is chili hot, spicy, and pungent. Items made from rice, fish, and coconut abound in nearly every Goan meal. Seafood such as prawns, lobsters, crabs, pomfrets, clams, ladyfish, mussels, and oysters are used to make a variety of curries, fries, soups and pickles. Besides fresh seafood, dried and salted fish dishes are also highly prized by Goans.

    So here is a taste of Goa and if you are travelling to Goa don't forget to pack a healthy appetite.


    Anjuna Beach

    Anjuna: It is located about 18kms from Panaji and is situated in Bardez taluka. The Village of Anjuna is a five square mile enclosure nestling between the Arabian Sea and the Hill overlooking the beach. The beach is known for its swaying palms, soft sands and natural beauty. It has an unusual rocky formation overlying a cove of white sand and black rock that juts into the Sea.

    SOUTH GOA TOURS


    South Goa flashes Basilica of Bom Jesus and Se Cathedral Church, the Temples of Shree Mangueshi and Shree Shantadurga with luminous Deep Stamba's, Ancestral Goa, Margao City, Colva Beach, Mormugao Harbour and Dona Paula Bay.


    Colva:This is the most important beach in the south circuit equipped with all modern amenities like air-conditioned resort complexes, tourist cottages, discos, seashell artefact stalls, refreshment stalls, eateries, guest houses, expanding the village enormously.


    Colva Beach
    Colva, unlike Anjuna or Calangute, gained popularity only lately. It was little disturbed and life moved on quietly. While taking a stroll on the Colva Beach, silver carpets of bangdde (mackerels) can be viewed shimmering on the golden sands for drying. Fishermen’s motor trawlers can be seen anchored in a line offshore. Tourists—Indian and foreigners, as well as locals—can be seen in colorful dresses, coming either for a walk or ‘for a change of air’. Many tourists can be seen having a sunbath on the golden sands. The trinket stalls and the drink stands on the golden sands under the moonlight make the evening on the Colva Beach utterly romantic.

    Dudhsagar Special : The most popular destination for trekkers and hikers, the Dudhsagar Waterfalls in Collem, 60 kilometres from Panaji, is a sight to behold . Water rushes down hundreds of feet in large volume from a height, in cascades with a loud roar, creating a most enchanting natural phenomena. The milk-white waterfalls form the lifeline to the rich flora and fauna of the state. A must see for tourists in all seasons.
