Goa is the place in India which hardly needs any introduction because of its popularity for its beaches and night life with trendy bars, beach shacks, elegant cafes and many clubs and discotheques.
It is surrounded by the Indian states of Maharashtra to the north and Karnataka to the east and south, with the Arabian Sea forming its western coast. It is so popular I think Goa is place which everyone should experience in their life at least once.I am specific in this blog to the point which is really required for travelling you to know.
Goa has numerous beaches that attract millions of visitors. Let me tell you very first thing that Goa has around more than 50 beaches. And you can not cover them all. And logically you should not. So don’t rush to cover them all mindset. Choose 4-5 beaches and spend good quality time.There are some famous beaches which you can visit and esp if you are a couple I advise you to not to go in very remote beaches because of safety and security issues. Because at not all the beaches have rescue team available for tourist, which generally you will get at the beaches which are comply visited.And if you are going Goa first time its better to target the common beaches . And if you going repeatedly then you can think exploring much.While Baga and Calangute are more popular among the Indian family crowd, Anjuna and Arambol draw a lot of foreign tourists. for its beaches and night life with trendy bars, beach shacks, elegant cafes and many clubs and discotheques. You can avail a scooty or personal cab for travel. But scooty or two wheeler is cost effective and if you are solo traveller or couple I will suggest you to take Scooty ride and enjoy scenic beauty as well.People are quite co-operative .Explore the charming architecture and distinct 'sussegado' vibe.
