Well moving on from my Gujarat experience, I still have many more places in India to review, as you can see a hell of a lot in 6 odd weeks. My next destination was one that I always wanted to go to, even as a child, however only experienced it in 2005, ...

Pros: Beautiful scenery, great weather, clean beaches, friendly people, wonderful food, cheap.
Cons: Hot, has a few mozzies, you must be good at bartering.

It's difficult to know where to start when writing a review for Goa. I've been going there for the past 10 years which surely must say something about the place. The people are like no other in the world, they have a wicked sense of humour and are so ...

Pros: Beautiful locale, almost out of a picture post card
Cons: Humid, and sometimes pretty hot

A lot of reviews have already been written on this destination. To avoid repetitions, I shall primarily focus on the beaches of Goa.

Goa is primarily a beach resort ensconced between the verdant hills of western Ghats on the east and the...

Pros: Beauty
Cons: Poverty

If I could go back to any of the holiday destinations I have been to through out my life, Goa would be on top of my list.
This op isn’t particularly about Goa itself I would say it is more of an honest opinion of what I saw and did.
I...

Pros: Lovely beaches,fabulous sea food,friendly locals

We friends were planning a trip to Goa for a long time.And had the perfect opportunity last weekend ( the dassera weekend - holiday on Fri-Sunday). We Left for Goa on the 25th by Bus (Saj Travels)from Mumbai, and made it to Panjim the next morning ( a...

During our 9 month stay in India we promised ourselves a visit to Goa. Goa is very different from the rest of India because of the Portuguese occupation. We were looking forward to the trip--which we began on the train--so much that we were worried that...

Pros: Amazing Food, Beautiful Surroundings, Nice People
Cons: Not the cheapest of vacations

I went to Goa before it was the "hip" place to go to, before the new age yogi's set up their ashrams, and club kids from Europe organized huge raves. It is place of understated beauty, even more unique because architectually, it is unlike an...

If you are looking for a holiday where you can be sure of a friendly welcome,good food,great climate and scenery,which won't cost you a Kings Ransom then I advise you to check out Goa.

For those who do not know,Goa is a province of India...

Pros: Sun, Sand and Siesta
Cons: You need to book well in advance

Being a ``sea'' person and an Indian Goa was really the only place that came to mind when I was planning my honeymoon. The fact that my wife concurred with the decision despite having been there only showed up my choice to be right.
Goa has always...

Pros: Friendly people,beaches,sun,good food,cheap.....what more do you want?
Cons: The culture shock may be too much for some

Pros: Great Beaches, Mouthwatering seafood, Friendly locals
Cons: Too crowded during peak season

Goa is an absolutely mesmerizing place. It makes you feel like going back there again and again and you get pulled by the sheer lazy breeze! Just returned from Goa and it was my 5th visit. Every time I go there, I rejuvenate with amazing bliss of the ...

Pros: Best beaches on Earth. Curry.
Cons: Pig toilets.

I've been visiting Goa for the last few years, and I still love it. I first went for the parties, but in recent years these have died out; apparently Goa tourism trying to attract a 'better' class of visitor-ones with more money... The northern resorts ...

Pros: Its mesmerizing,no rush of tourists, great deals on rooms
Cons: Veg. food not so good,lazy service.

Goa, just a mention of the name GOA sends beautiful images cascading though my mind.I remember the first time I went to Goa, and this was for an official tour way back in 1990. When I was told that I have to attend some work in the mines in Goa, my first ...
