You've Gotta’ Goa India

 
 
Surrounded by the Arabian Sea and the shady palms that sway in the wind. The relaxed pace of life in Goa has always made it a great introduction to India. Goa has a very different feel from the rest of India. It has remained a Portuguese colony until the 1960s.

Now the decision comes down to where you want to go in Goa, North or South. the North is where it all happens, you will find a range of clubs and pubs. It’s the hot and happening place of now! North Goa is suitable for singles, couples and diverse groups who are looking to enjoy the nightlife and the party scene. You also have Exquisite churches and cathedrals, local bazaar and weekly flea markets.

Apart from the beaches, North Goa is also home to some of the most ambitious restaurants in India, including Burmese, Turkish, Italian and French establishments – but there’s always recourse to the inevitable steak and kidney pie and mushy peas beloved by the Brits who still outnumber all other foreign visitors by a tidy margin.

Attractions in North Goa are not just confined to the coast, they run all the way to the hill hugging cashew plantations that blanket much of Pernem Taluka. The market that is Mapusa is known for its colours and noisy riots in the heart of Bardez district. Then you come across the hidden hindu temples of Ponda.

South Goa is known for it's peace, greenery, village-like atmosphere and its luxury hotels. If you're a couple on your honeymoon, family based holiday or even an elderly couple looking to relax and unwind. South Goa is sure to delight you. If you are an animal lover, you can visit the Cotigao Wildlife Sanctuary, and go on a dolphin-sighting day trip. south Goa is where you will also find some of the pristine and secluded beaches.

With Goa’s beaches being the state’s main attraction, perhaps it comes down to: do you like beautiful sun-drenched beaches with lots of life (the North), or beautiful sun-drenched beaches that are a little quieter (the South)?
