Essential Information: When to go and what you'll need
Getting Around
There are two types of taxis in Goa – private tourist taxis which are white and also yellow-topped black regular taxis. You can either hop in them at taxi stands, or book them in advance. There is also a unique ‘pilot’ motorcycle taxi service available. Tuk-tuks (auto-rickshaws) are popular, a great experience, and very cheap. There are ferries available to get across the river, too.
Spiritual Sanctuary
Ashiyana is a wellness centre located in the laps of nature next to a charming old fishing village in Manderm Beach (North Goa), where holidaymakers can escape the hustle and bustle of city life and enjoy the laidback eco-friendly ambiance. Yoga sessions led by the experts are designed to help you relax your body, mind, and soul and connect with your inner self. Walk out feeling refreshed and ready to explore the nearby scenic attractions.
Shop at the Markets
If you’re ready for a little retail therapy, get your haggling skills dusted off and head for Anjuna market where you're sure to root out a bargain or two. Alternatively, the Saturday night markets in Arpora are well worth a visit, offering both local and Western wares, live music, plenty of food and cocktails to wash it down with.
Dunk in the Dudhsagar Waterfalls
Take a jeep trip to this beautiful area situated on the Mandovi River (roughly 35 miles away from Panaji), in the peaks of the Western Ghats. It’s idyllic during monsoon season, when white torrents of water run down the cliffside and culminate in a deep green pool. There are a couple of other pools to enjoy here, too.
The Spice of Life
Food is enjoyed fully in Goa, as it is throughout India. The scents, spices and flavours of authentic cuisine will attract and tantalise even the most seasoned travellers. So whether its a classic fish curry rice, a morning bhaji-pao (bun with a thick curry), or a zesty vindaloo with its infusions of wine vinegar and garlic, the Indo-Portuguese influence is a treat for the taste buds.
