Goa - Top 5 things to do when you have less time but want to explore more!

Goa -the most popular beach destination of India, located about 610 km South of Mumbai, is ideal for a relaxing holiday. But if you are a bunch of friends seeking out adventure and exploration instead of relaxation, then also Goa is the right place to go! What if you have less time and your inquisitive mind wants to experience the most of this place? Here are the 5 unmissable experiences that a travel enthusiast must devour:

• Beach Hopping: Head to a beach once you set your foot on Goa. The North Goa beaches like Baga, Calangute, Anjuna are lively with music, fun and people around. If you want solitude then go for South Goa beaches like Varca, Benaulim, Palolem etc. Slow down, unwind and soak in the spirit of Goa. Stand on the beach on a serene shore and let the waves wash away your worries and agonies.

• Sumptuous Sea Food: If you are a non-vegetarian, you have an array of options to savour the famousGoan Cuisine - mostly comprised of Sea Food. Start your gastronomic journey with starters like Bangda Dishes, Squid cooked in Butter Garlic Sauce, King Fish Fry or Roast, Pomfret Fry etc to name a few. For main course don't miss the staple dish of Rice with Goan Fish Curry - King fish or Prawns or Pomfret curry. Conclude your scrumptious meal with the traditional Goan sweet Bebinca.

• Sunrise on the beach: Though there is no particular sunrise spot in Goa, you can go to Morjim Beach in North Goa to witness a spectacular view of the rising sun… gorgeous Morjim beach… the soft morning glow on earth…the fishermen approaching the shores after a night’s sail. The fresh air, the tranquility of the beach is sure to take your breath away. A stroll with your loved one basking in the mild morning sun is a memory to be cherished forever.

• Dolphin Watching: A must do activity is spotting Dolphins in the vast sea from a boat on Sinquerim Beach, North Goa. Just buy a ticket and get a seat in front and allow yourself to relax and inhale the smell of the sea while be ready to be floored by a dancing Dolphin. The gleaming dolphins bouncing with the rhythm of the waves will definitely be one of the highlights of your trip. The extra added experience will be to see the sun melting in the horizon from the middle of the great Arabian Sea.

• Exploring Old Goa: Another way to explore and taste the real Goa is to delve deep into Old Goa on a two wheeler. The colourful houses lining the streets, the quaint atmosphere, the charming old churches in almost every corner of the streets – the most famous one being The Basillica of Bom Jesus where the relics of Saint Francis Xavier is preserved – Old Goa has everything to offer to a traveler who is seeking fun and solitude in Goa in a very limited time span.
