Go.Go..GOA - Three Days Trip in GOA ( DAY-1 )

How to plan for Goa trip in Three days
       After completion of my college Examinations I decided to go three days trip to Goa with my colleagues Narendhar, Prasad, Zakeer, Venkatesh which are friends also. It was my second time trip to Goa. We started our journey on 17.04.2018 from Gadwal at 8:30 PM. After one hour journey we stopped our vehicle for dinner at Raichur which is 60 Km away from Gadwal. Further we continued our journey till to morning. In these Night journey so many times Local police and Central Army forces was stopped our vehicle for checking due to Elections in Karnataka State.  

       
       we arrived at Goa, first reached Panjim on early morning and we crossed the Mondori river and drove straight to Calangute. The distance from Panjim to Calangute is about 15 Kms. we check in a hotel which is very near to Calangute beach. In these three days we had our breakfast, Lunch and Dinner in various hotels which we like more tasty and different to our regular menu. I noticed here that we can drive ti any beach or any area easily because on every road direction markers shows how to we get our destination and their people are very friendly and helpful.


        In these days every early morning and  evening we spent our time at beaches for enjoying with beautiful view of sunset along with a lot of peace in more crowd. as well as the other time we visited forts, Dolphin Points, Churches, Museums etc. because we have only three days time to visit this most beautiful and popular places in  Goa.


Fist Day we visited the following places which is shown in the above map.

1. SINQUERIM BEACH :

        We went this beach on afternoon time, the sun is rising and the day with hot weather. So we spent only half an hour at this beach. Best time to visit this beach is evening because we can feel sunset with good view and also we can capture beautiful pictures of nature.

Sinquerim Beach
             I found that at this beach the crowd will be moderate and Its a great place, absolutely peaceful, calm, clean and well maintained. So you can enjoy in water for a longer time with your beloved ones or family members. It is good to have more fun with playing in water. There are few water sports are available like scooter boat, skying, parasailing, scuba driving and wind surfing. 



2. AGUADA FORT:

        Before visiting sinquerim beach we went to visit Fort Aguada. This fort is very popular destination for tourists in Goa. Aguada Fort constructed by the Portuguese rulers in the year of 1612 to guard this land against the Dutch Invasions and Maratha's. It was once used to provide water supply to the passing ships.
     
        This Fort was built by Prime stone which used in the construction of houses and Forts in Goa.

Aju at Aguada Fort

         We went there morning and found it is the best time to visit. Usually Aguada Fort is huge crowded with locals and foreigners throughout the year. So I recommended to reach early and visit this place with calm climate and the beautiful views of Arabian sea

    " Whenever you go to Goa you must  visit Aguada Fort because it is ancient old Portuguese place to see the beautiful views and spectacular imaginary boundaries of Arabian Sea."   







3. ANJUNA BEACH:

     

        Anjuna is basically village in Goa. It is not really the most beautiful beach we can see in Goa and not really a quiet place. You must beware from such things and some men especially in  parties and night clubs because it is a racist place.

Anjuna Beach
         Anjuna is famous for its parties and also the home of the most popular night clubs of Goa. Anjuna is also a place known for its small rocks by sea side. People staying in near by the hotels often walk up to the sea and sit here in morning hours to look at the rising sun and sip local Tea or Coffee. It is also a good time to take some exclusive pictures.

Aju.. beside the market area of Anjuna Beach
 
 We went Anjuna beach after 12:00 PM. We sat on the beach walls then taken some beautiful pictures and watched the surroundings, stalls and beach area with quite and calm. After second time of visit my opinion is Anjuna beach is only famous for night parties, bars, shacks and restaurants as well as there is nothing to see.

4. ANJUNA FLEA MARKET :

        Anjuna Beach also hosts the famous flea market, which happens on every Wednesday. Where u can purchase so many things like clothes, sunglasses, hand loom accessories, Bhudha or Shiva statues, Jewelry, hammocks and vintage art crafts.

        I heard before that, In this flea market where can you find anything you look for at a cheap price but its totally wrong. Price is not cheap also we can find more things for only women and family members.

       Finally I refer that If you go to Anjuna beach you must visit this flea market for experience and purchase of some kind of things which one u like.

4. DOLPHIN POINT :

        After seen Aguada Fort at mid afternoon we went to Dolphin point. It is situated beside the Coco Beach and Condolim beach area. In Goa so many Points are there in various beach areas to watch Dolphins but this is the best place. After taking the ticket at ticket counter the boat operator gathers four to eight members as group and venture out about a couple of kilometers into the sea to watch dolphins circling in action.

Premises of Dolphin Point
   
          Our boat operator is a genuine and good person. first we went long in to the sea but we did not see any dolphin in the sea. But he tried hard to show dolphins to our group members. So he taken us more long in to the sea and rounded the boat so many times. finally we saw two dolphins which are chasing behind the boat.



Aju on the Boat Ride

      While we are in the middle of the sea the water and view is superb and we can feel a mind blowing thrill. This boat trip also takes us around the Goa's old Jail, View of Fort Aguada, Light house and famous Bombay Millionaire Palace which are the  beside ares of the Arabian ocean. The Dolphin Spotting will cost you around Rs.300/- per head for one hour.



4. CALANGUTE BEACH : THE LARGEST & MOST COMMERCIAL BEACH

        After taken some rest in hotel room we went to calangute beach around 4:00 PM by walk. Because our hotel is besides the calangute beach.Near the beach we can see various shops that sell everything like fancy beachwear, beach accessories, sunglasses, hats, tattoos and all....

Entry of the Calangute Beach

           The beach road is always crowded with tourist buses, cars and rental bikes. The beach area is best for who wants to stay in budget hotels and home stays. Beside the beach area bikes and cars are available for daily rental which is given 8 hours time for day. If any one went to Goa without vehicle I suggest you please take the scooty for rent which is just Rs.250/- for day. for this you should have to keep  licence near with you and you can also ask for helmet with rental bike.

Aju at Calangute Beach

          The road side shops sells various dishes like sea fish, crabs, prawns, chicken and mutton fries with reasonable rates and the food taste as well as quality also very good. Every day we tasted this foods with parcels.


   "The most famous amongst  all the beaches in Goa is Calangute. It is also called as "Queen of Beaches", This is actually a part of the Calangute town located 15 Kms north from the capital city of Panjim. It is also easily accessible and lots of options to stay around for eat and drink. "





      This beach is most crowded beach in Goa. we ca see in every minute lot of new visitors will come and  old visitors will leave from here. The beach is four miles long lies between the Baga Beach and Condolim Beach. In this beach the waves near the shore itself very heavier. It increase the thrill while we are in water and playing water sports with friends and family members.

With Friends at Calangute Beach
            At evening after came from the beach water we sit at the tables of  the shacks and my friends are started to had some drinks before the beach with watching the view of the beautiful scenic sunset in the most crowded people in the beach. This beach hotel waiters was supplied all types of  drinks and food with respect. We enjoyed till ends the light and turns into night.



" Calangute and Baga Beeches, I visited twice, they  holding the spectacular beauty and charm with all the frantic night life of an ocean paradise. I hope these are way to heaven for nature lovers and  they given me unforgettable memories in my life."
