A by word in India for “good times”, Goa where the country’s Elite come to party these days, where hundreds of thousands of foreigners flock to escape the Northern European winter. Blissful climate is one reason, the Spectacular golden sand beaches along the state’s palm fringed coastline is the other- and there are plenty of them, from shimmering expanses that merged with the Horizon to secluded coves backed by crumbling with cliffs. Goa’s metamorphosis from Portuguese Colony to International playground, however, owes much to the distinctly hybrid culture of its inhabitants as to the state’s natural assets. Nowhere else in the subcontinent will you find traditional Indian ways to co- existing so peacefully and easily with those implanted by Europeans, and to this day a tolerant attitude to foreigner’s remains is distinctively Goan trait.
When to go
The best time to go to Goa is during the dry, relatively cool winter months between mid November and late March, when daytime temperatures are perfect for lazing on the beach and the sea is warm. From the beginning of April onwards the heat and humidity begin to build, culminating in June when a giant wall of black cloud marches landwards from the Arabian Sea. With the arrival of monsoon proper, violent storms wrack the coast for days.
For the past decade or so, the monsoons have spilled into November, shortening tourist season. This has put the peak period, from mid December to end of January, increase pressure. Finding a room or a house to rent at this time particularly over the Christmas and New Year fortnight, when the tariffs double or triple – can be a real hassle in some resorts. So if you are travelling without pre booked accommodation, then certainly your travel is not going to be easy and comfortable, so it is advised tourism your hotel or resort before you leave.
Where to go
Your experience of holiday in Goa will be influenced by your place of stay in Goa, as the resorts and hotels individual complexion varies significantly. An hour drive from the airport, the stretch of coast immediately north of the state capital Panjim, has emerged as the principal charter belt. It had three main centres- Candolim, Calangute, and Baga. These are the places where, now a days the comforts and amenities are of International levels. The beaches are jam-packed with parasols cafes and sunloungers are found in abundance. The hotel found here are a little expensive and unavailable if you have not pre booked. But the area beyond Baga around the villages and beaches of Anjuna and Vagator – are little easy to find and comfortable for longer staying independent travellers. Towards Arambol the scene grows more alternative, tourist accommodation there with few notable examples, is basic, pitched primarily at backpackers who stay for months, though this is changing fast.
