I guess when it comes to chilling out, I insist to start off with Goa. To simply define it: Party Place, Booze, Greenery, Beaches, Islands and so on...
I normally prefer planned trips (budget Alert!). If you really like a trip to Goa in a decent budget, you better plan in a little advance. In this way you could save a good amount of time and money. I personally prefer Yatra.com to book for stay at the best prices (never forget to look for some coupon discounts). And when you're looking for flight booking, you may go directly to IndiGo, MakeMyTrip and so on.
Tip: If you want to plan Goa in short time, prefer to opt for buses at nominal price. redBus at your rescue!!
Harsh reality: Time takes to travel from Hyderabad to Goa: Bus: 14Hrs Flight: 55mins.
Above's one of the pics I clicked in Goa. And the list of beaches goes on and on..
Baga beach: Closest to the party place Mambos and Titos lane and let me admit it's as beautiful as it's in the night!!
Vagator beach: I would call this to be a less crowded place compared to other beaches and yes of course it's breathtaking.
Sinquerim beach: This is a right place to capture amazing photographs and I would simply say it's one of its kind.
Food!! Fish!! Pomfret!! Kingfish..
How can I not talk about Goan food when talking about Goa. I did get to taste the best of Goan food which includes: Pomfret fish, King fish, Fish curry tali and so on..
I want to discuss a few of the best places I ate:
Dhananjay Fish curry, Goa: Serves delicious Fish curry thali (Best home made fish curry at the least price)
Relax Hotel: Well, this place is in Baga (sorry, couldn't locate the place on the maps). This tiny hotel servers best butter garlic pomfert fish. Costs about 380rs (I bet you'll fall in love with it provided you're a fan of butter garlic flavors like me).
Party!! Pubs!! Dance!! Karaoke..
Let me start of with my fav..
Mambos: Been Goa trice and never missed going to Mambos. They do play great music, got crazy themes and lovely service. This place is bright and beautiful. And what makes this place more interesting: beach right in front of it.
St. Anthony's Beach Sack: The best Karaoke Night I have ever been to..I found everything about this place most amazing and memorable. Highlights: Karaoke, ambience, beautiful lighting, lovely crowed and the soothing beach sounds.
Places I stayed at:
Alcove Resort Goa: One of the lovely beach resorts in Goa. Excellent service, mesmerize ambience, decent food and exceptional rooms.
Sea Breeze Resort: Located in Baga and got lovely rooms to stay by. Honestly, nothing great to talk about.
Hotel Sai Baga: Budget hotel (a tiny room sufficient for 2, an AC and an attached balcony), tasty breakfast, walkable distance to party places like Titos and Mambos. During off season (May to September) I got a room for 2 at the least price of 2500rs for 5 days 4 nights stay (booked from Yatra).
I'd like to wrap up here. It's my very first post and hope y'all like it!! :)
