Where in #GOA?
Let's begin your itinerary to Goa...
I know Goa is too much to consume even if it is one of the smallest states, Goa is one that you can never have enough of.
I'll try to make it easier for you to plan
your weekend getaway or for that matter holidays too, in this blog post. Goa is a place where anything
can be found. The fact that people of all ages are welcome here is what I like
most about it. I've been coming here since I was 11 years old and have done so
on birthdays, anniversaries, weekend getaways with friends, and now with my
child. I always feel refreshed when I visit. Specifically, Goa is split into
two sections, south and north. This blog is worth reading if you're looking for
weekend activities in North Goa.
Things to do in North Goa
Goa has whatever you might think you'd like. There is therefore something
available for you, depending on the reason you came to Goa.
North of Goa is fun! A happier, and more vibrant young Goa.
Consider the following inquiries as you examine your "Goa Trip":
Do you want the option to place a food and beverage order? Are you more of a
water fun person or do you prefer a calm sea? Would you prefer sun tan or sun
set? Would you prefer music on the beach or peace and quiet? Do you want to
make some memories while dancing, vibing on the beach or you want to sip n gaze
at sea? A sport person or romantic one?
How to Reach Goa
If your train doesn't stop there, Madgaon is your last option. Get off the train and book a cab; Ola and Uber aren't yet available in Goa. A local cab will cost between INR 1000 to INR 1500.
Where to Stay in North Goa
1. Leela Cottages
2. Wigwam
Choose Wigwam if you want a distinctive and different place to stay. You can ride the bicycles to the beach for a brief distance.
3. Jardin D’Ulysses
4. Resort Oxygen
5. Buena Vida Beach Resort
6. Pause by the Sea
7. Landmark Goa Villas
These are elegant villas that
would be suitable for a group outing or if you and your friends were looking
for a place to hang out and have fun.
8. Sibaya Beach Resort
Within budget, right next to beach, and very
very clean n green resort. I like the sunsets from this place.
9. Circle
Red Thread Vegator, Synq Morjim, Living Room Beach Resorts, Montego, Woke Hostel, Artist Cottages are well maintained, decent and budget
properties to opt for a longer stay.
Nightlife in Goa
When I say party I am mentioning here “The
Beach Party”.
Without wasting you time, listing is as follows:
HillTop
Situated between Vagator and Anjuna Beaches in Goa, The HillTop stands as a legendary trance party venue since 1974. It preserves the 60s Hippie atmosphere. Nestled on a small hill, it offers a chance to unwind amidst dance, delectable food, vibrant cocktails, and great music. While Sundays witness the club's vibrant energy, the operating hours are limited from 5 PM to 10 PM. Evolving from a roadside eatery to Goa's premier psychedelic trance destination, HillTop boasts neon-lit palm trees, creating an enchanting ambiance for partygoers and diners alike. Renowned for hosting the HillTop Festival in February, the club attracts top national and international artists.
9Bar Goa
DJs come from all over the world to play here.
Due to its proximity to numerous hostels and guesthouses, tourists frequently
stop by for parties. Amazing views of the Arabian Sea are a benefit of this
location. Every time I've gone, admission has been free, but depending on the
DJ, some big parties may charge a small fee to enter.
The Goa Collective Bazaar
Markets are a huge part of our incredible
Indian culture and also for me, a large part of the excitement of traveling. It
doesn’t matter if you actually need to buy anything, I believe you should
always jump at the chance to visit a market. During the busy season, which runs
from the end of November to the end of April, the market is open every Friday
from 4 p.m. to 1 a.m. It can be found in North Goa in Vagator at the famous
Goan Trance venue of Hilltop. Entry costs 100 rupees per person, and if
necessary, a stamp is provided to permit re-entry. You can find some amazing
boutique stuff also, if you are bringing children, I would advise arriving
early to partake in the art activities that are typically offered in the kids
area near the entrance.
Dubki
Dubki, the dawn and dusk cafe on Ozran Beach,
looks dazzling in every inch and has the most coveted sea views anyone can ever
ask for, peppy vibe, great ambience and a perfect instagrammable happy place.
DJ here is a bolly pro, ample of space to lagao thumkas of your kind. I love
it, totally!
Sea Turtle
Sea Turtle at bagha beach, total jam packed
nightlife vibes with sand under you feet and sea breeze in your hair.
Restaurants of North Goa
When in Goa you must hop between flavors.
Pisco by the beach
This restaurant at Anjuna is light and airy and
has spectacular view of the Ocean. It is constructed to resemble a resort
villa. Pisco's food is more than just a meal.
Baba Au Rhum
A tiny eatery serving delicious pizzas and other food at
Anjuna is known as Baba Au Rhum. I'd heartily endorse going here for breakfast.
La Plage
No matter what type of cuisine you're craving, Morjim has it. You can get
the best food there. You should really space out your visit here so you can eat
at each of these places, in my opinion. La Plage offers something for everyone
with its secluded beach, authentic French cuisine, and breathtaking sunsets.
Don't miss out on the chance to eat, drink, and celebrate in Goa!
Khana and love café
The road up to Morjim Beach has the cutest, coziest little cafe. Along with great coffee and smoothies, they also have a small boutique with hip clothes. They have a lovely terrace where you can eat lunch, dinner, or breakfast. Although not the fastest, the food was excellent!
Activities In North Goa
North Goa has a lot of water activities
available, including jet skiing, banana boat rides, parasailing, and more, just
like the majority of North Goa beaches. My advice is to haggle with the
sellers. If engaging in adventurous activities is not your cup of tea, you can
also choose to simply relax on the beach, go swimming, or get a massage. You
can go out and shake your booty at any number of nearby parties.
A Goa trip can’t be listed in one single blog. Imagine lying on your sun bed for the whole day with a coconut in hand or grooving with your kind of poison, its totally your kind of vacation.
Relax or walk around, party hop or sit and chit chat, personally what I felt is – GOA is a feeling and mood, be you, have your own kind of fun 😊
