Hey! Hi Namaste this is Tulip Roy
(Hey guys if you are looking for something more specific to Anjuna Beach, click this link right here http://tulipsin.blogspot.in/2014_03_01_archive.html , it’s coming from a gal who lived in the beach for almost 3 months!). I have a house in Goa, well my parents do. Just few days ago I visited Goa, the one place in India where you actually don’t have to think about what people might think or react; Goa once upon a time was under the control of Portugal, so even now if you were to visit Goa you still could almost feel the Portugal influence, there are parts where you can find Portages buildings and what’s left of their arrival and the soon departure.
This part as beautiful as it might be is not being very well maintained but still can be viewed and appreciated by art lovers. This part can be seen in Basilica Bom Jesus which houses the mortal remains of the famous Portuguese St. Augustine and can in fact be also seen in Fort Agorda. If you want to visit these places you can take a guided tour which would be cheap and show you the other attractions too, I would totally recommend it.
That was one side of South Goa, the other side of Goa is the wild side. You know to discover this side of Goa you don’t much have to look for it or find it. If you are looking for crazy wild, I recommend find a hotel or backpackers stay near the Anjuna beach; it is a very common beach every local knows about it, if you are coming from the Dobilim Airport, sadly there are no cheaper alternatives such as buses or train near the airport, so you have to take the cab or taxi to Mapusa, from there you can take an auto to Anjuna. Anyway the night life over there is really good and so is the food.
Now comes the relaxing side of North Goa. If you are coming to Goa to relax and drink a mild beer, enjoy the sun and relax, have a good tan, then there is Colva beach, though a lot people won’t agree with me but I advise you to read on. If you are coming by train, then get down at Panjim station, get out of the station and find yourself a yellow and black auto and tell him to take you to Colva beach, if u are a single person, he should charge Rs 100 to 15 NOT MORE THAN THAT! I could have told you the bus routine but it’s a bit hard and I don’t think u would prefer that after a long journey, but I will tell you anyway, you have to get out of the station and go out, like on the road and start walking strait look at the figure down
I guess you can see the arrow right, just go like that the road is almost half a kilometer which is like you have to walk a lot and when see the bridge, stand underneath it (the red should be where you are) and you’ll get a bus to Colva beach, it will cost almost Rs 15 or less, so if you’re going cheap, you can take this way but it is a lot of hard work. Once you reach there, you can check into a hotel but again if you are going cheap and peaceful you’ll have to find your own peace of hotel (if you are luck and desperate enough ask for hotel Golden Nest, it is run by a very nice guy named Constantine, ask the restaurants staff!). Any way it is very crowded most of the time but if you hit the beach and go west, if you keep walking for a mile or so you can visit Majoda and Bagador you’ll find a lot of shacks and peaceful environment, to get a great tan in, just keep walking west!
From Colva beach, you can take a bus to Panji and explore the capital, which is beautiful and well civilized. So go to Goa drink a beer and do eat prawn rice, don’t miss it. In Colva beach you can hire a bike or a bicycle and roam around to discover new beaches, if you get on the bus and get down at Maria Hall and walk strait in (ask the locals) you can go to this wonderful beach there too. Enjoy yourself and don’t entertain any person who claims to be your friend or say that, there is something wrong with your ears, you’ll end up losing a lot of money!! Listen to the local music, enjoy the local matches of football and fall in love with the beach’s
P.S please leave a comment, I would love one!
