Dates 1 Oct to 5 Oct
So it's been 10 months of travel since my previous trip to Hong Kong and I haven't travelled anywhere due to lockdown.
When I googled , Goa was the place where no covid certificate was required. As long weekend I decided to give this place a shot.
I booked my flights on 26 September and due to short time i.e 4 days left for travel I bought my tickets at an expensive price of ₹11000 return journey.
Day 1
My flight was at 12:40 p.m. from T3, so I booked the cab at 9:00 a.m and reached the airport. Our bags were Sanitized and thermal screening was done.
Social distancing was appropriately followed and instead of buffet we were served plates on the table.
We were given ppe kit before boarding air asia flight. The flight was unexpectedly full.
We reached the airport by 3 pm and i hooked cab at 950 through goamiles app.
Phoenix park inn by Radisson
The resort has good interiors but the rooms were small. I booked the resort at 2800₹ through MMT including breakfast.
We hired scooty @₹250 per day After some rest we visited Baga beach and Titos lane and had our dinner at Mc Donald's.
We were served with breakfast inside the room.
Golden tulip hotel
We changed our hotel that I book through MakeMyTrip and costing me at ₹ 1464 per person.
Next we visited fort aguada through our scooty that was approximately one hour away from a hotel.
At evening we visited Candolim beach to watch the beautiful sunset. Candolim is cleaner as well as more peaceful.
I booked this hotel at 3k from MMT. The place was more like flat based society. The rooms were small. However Ambience was colourful .
In the evening we visited calangute. Yhe place was very serene and clean beach with a sea in full flow.
Next morning we had buffet at the hotel which was great.
Hard rock hotel
After breakfast we changed our hotel to hard rock which i booked through MMT at 5800 including breakfast and dinner fir 2 persons . This was one of the best hotel in Goa. The ambience and interior of the hotel was amazing.
we hired Toyota liva car at 1000 per day.
The views on the road were amazing. Our first stop for the day Anjuna beach. Anjuna beach is known for its various trance and rave parties and a vibrant nightlife that attracts thousands of tourists each year. While Anjuna is certainly not the prettiest of Goa beaches, it is certainly one of the most famous ones due to its extravagant lifestyle and beach parties.
Vagator beach was our next stop. This was one of the beautiful beach. Turned up 22 km from the Panaji, the Vagator beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in Goa that is enclosed with soft white sand and speckled by huge black rocks, coconut & palm trees. It is famous due to its dynamic cliffs and its secluded nature.
This was one of the best beaches in Goa. The place was so peaceful and clean. The beach was amazing. If you are looking for rejuvenation in North of Goa, try this beautiful beach in extreme North just before Mandrem and Arambol.
Arambol beach
Arambol beach is considered to be one of the most beautiful beaches in Goa, bordering Keri Beach to the north and Mandrem Beach to the south.
After this we went back to our hotel. We had a buffet dinner at the hotel. This was the first time we were having good north indian dinner in Goa.
Titos Club
It is located at Titos Lane in Baga, very close to the beach. One of Goa's first discos, it is now extremely popular and the place to go for everyone looking for music, dancing, and also good food and drinks
The day was hectic and we ended our day with good memories.
We had no plans for the day so we decided to spend time at the hotel itself. We were served with fantastic breakfast
We did cab at 2:00 p.m. to catch our flight for 5 p.m. We were served with snacks in Air India Flight.
We reached Delhi@ 8 p.m with amazing memories.
