Night Activities in Goa


We go to places we do not know, we do things we have not done yet, and we meet strange and different people that we have never met yet; we do this because we exist and what we find every time is a strange connection with the people and places we come across, even though they are thousands of miles away from us. When you visit Goa, you find that strange connection with the beaches, with the sea, and with the people.
Goa, India sports some of the most sensational beaches around the world. Goa beaches become alive with the rising sun, get into their puberty by the evenings, romance with the young night, and never sleep at all. The night in Goa never gets old, and people discover the desires and temptations that once made them swoon over her.
Goan culture is a mosaic of different faiths and traditions from different times of history. Goan music has an essence of equal composites of western liberation and eastern bondage of love. The soothing music and mouth-watering delicious sea food are a specialty of Goa. If you are in Panaji, places like Rio Rico Bar, the Venite, and the Fountainhas may serve your purpose.
Club West End, Club Cabana, Paradisio, Congo, etc., are the places where you will find your true self again. Youngsters enjoy beating the floor on a loud music, drinking some of the finest of the wines, and lingering over sizzling food. These places give you that opportunity to be yourself and enjoy till you feel the adrenaline rush.
If you have deep pockets, you can spend your time on a cruise and en route enjoy the calm rivers, bird sanctuaries, forts, and lots more. Cicade De Goa Beach Resort is one of the classy casinos in India where you can try your luck.
Although there are wads of means to keep yourself engaged in Goa, your delightedness sees no bound when in a company of your favorite one.

Biking in Goa


No single word can describe the beauty of Goa. Lush greenery, serene waters, and quiet roads allure many to come to Goa again and again. Goa offers so many opportunities of fun and adventure that in a single visit it is almost impossible to uncover the face of Goa. Cycling or biking is also one of the adventurous activities that many bikers from Goa indulge into. Goa beaches are very famous and they sometimes cast a shadow on other beautiful hidden jewels of Goa.

Today, there are many tours arranged for cyclists. Organizers provide everything including cycles. Sightseeing in Goa is a never-ending activity and you actually need a month or so to visit and enjoy every place. Portuguese ruled Goa for 450 years. The old Goa is famous for many cathedrals like that of St. Francis Xavier's, where his body is still preserved. There are many forts such as Aguada and Tiracol that offer great terrain for biking.

The journey on your cycle will be fascinating as you will cross the rivers and climb up to the hills. You can visit the famous Shri Chandreswar Butnath temple, which is situated on a good height and it gives a challenging opportunity to bike. Wildlife sanctuaries like Cortigao are also some of the less crowded places to bike freely.

Try to avoid the months of summer as it is pretty hot out there after the months of February. December and January would be ideal. Although Goa has become a great tourist attraction in the recent years, there are some things that you may not be able to purchase that easily in Goa. So carry the important stuff with yourself.

Things to Carry
  • Water bottles
  • Biking shoes, sandals, comfy shoes, and socks
  • Jacket, gloves, and helmet
  • Sun cream, mosquito repellent, sunglasses

While in Goa, India, enjoy the true India amalgamated with western values and take with yourself an experience that completes your life.
