There’s nothing quite like traveling with your friends. You’ll make so many crazy and hilarious memories together, and having somebody who’s there for you no matter what will give you the confidence to relax and enjoy the ride.
One of the best part of a trip is the planning stage, and it’s all the more fun when you’re traveling with your girl friends. They won’t tire of your endless travel chat, Even a 4 hour flight delay can be fun. We were planning this trip from last 2 years and finally we made this in April 2019. Although we were worried about the weather but it wasn’t that hot.
Should we go to North part or South part of Goa? Most common question !
Many people who want to visit Goa for one or two weeks, they want to know if they should stay in the North or bounce down to the South.
If a lively atmosphere and regular large crowds are what draw you to Goa, then head North.
For those who keen to get away from the crowd and find peace and quiet, try South Goa.
Well, depends on what your preferences are. Both are unique and beautiful in their own way. The North is where most of the tourist crowd ends up hanging. If you look at Goa as a party destination and want to meet people from big cities of India, then Baga & Calangute is your best bet (that is in the North). Further North, around Morjim & Ashwem, things are more calmer. You might still be able to find some underground parties if you manage to meet the right people.
Anjuna is mostly frequented by the hippie brigade, but it is also a good spot to just calm down and relax. In Anjuna, if you want to be by yourself, people will let you.
The south by far is less explored and quieter, but also more beautiful. The beaches in the far South and the farthest North are the best. North Goa usually tends to be Anjuna/Vagator area (decent crowded beaches) , Candolim/Baga/Calanguate (very crowded beaches) & Arambol (clean & pretty beaches).
We have planned this trip for 4 nights and 4 days. We decided to spend 2 in North and 2 in South. One can visit Goa in any season the only difference is from October to Feb it’s quite busy . In South Goa you will find limited crowd than North.
