Carnival in Arambol, Goa
Are tours to Goa popular?
Since the 1960s, the most popular charter flights have been to India from Germany, France, the Netherlands, and Scandinavia. In recent years, tours to Goa have become increasingly popular among our compatriots. What attracts tourists to this ancient and mysterious corner of India?
Goa can offer vacationers about 100 kilometers of beaches equipped to European standards, as well as a fairly developed infrastructure (lively night discos, bars, restaurants, diving centers, casinos, a huge selection of comfortable hotels). But still, the most attractive thing for numerous tourists is the wonderful combination of colonial traditions in lifestyle, language, architecture with modern European culture, the best culinary traditions of Portugal, and colorful carnival processions.
Where can you go?
When taking advantage of a travel company offer and buying a tour to India, you need to decide which hotel or guesthouse to stay in. The state of Goa is divided into South and North parts. Guesthouses located in the South are premium class and are quite expensive. In this area of the state, wealthy Indians mostly stay, preferring comfortable and quiet rest.
Northern Goa is the complete opposite of Southern. In small villages, mostly advanced youth from Europe or America stay. The quietest spot in Northern Goa is Arambol, which consists of endless wild beaches with few tourists. This is a corner for those who prefer to relax in nature. Vagator is a wonderful and relatively inexpensive place for tourists.
In Goa, tourists will be able to choose the most optimal option for rest for any taste and budget. Hotels of 3-5 star category should be booked in advance, cheaper accommodation can be rented upon arrival.
Vacationers can enjoy exquisite seafood and fish dishes, as well as the famous national drink Feni, prepared according to old Portuguese recipes from coconut and cashew. They can also bask on the golden sand, play in the casino, go on a journey through wild beaches, jungles, waterfalls, and picturesque islands.
