GOA – A Perfect Holiday Destination
Goa can be referred to as the Beach Paradise of India. The smallest state of the Indian Peninsula has the most significant number of beaches, and that’s the reason it’s the favourite Indian beach destination for foreign tourists. BUT PLEASE, don’t forget about all the other incredible places to visit here in Goa (e.g. day markets, night markets, waterfalls, Portuguese heritage, the capital, spice farms, boat trips, legendary Enfield tours, Hindu culture, incredible beaches, etc.).

ANJUNA FLEA MARKET | ANJUNA
Anjuna Flea Market is at the heart of the ‘backpackers’ scene. The flea market is the place to be on Wednesdays in Goa. A beach town off the North of Goa, Anjuna became the hide-out for Western ‘hippies’ arriving in the 60’s.
Finding their wallets empty but wanting to stay longer, these early travellers auctioned off their belongings, from guitars to jewellery and jeans, to their compatriots.
Thus began the infamous ‘flea’ market at Anjuna. The Flea market, which begins around 9 am and shuts down only with the sun’s setting, is a unique experience that the visitor in Goa shouldn’t miss, approx. October till the end of April.
Few traces of Goan life and culture within the Flea market are visible; its lively and often amusing scenes make for an afternoon. One can still find traces of the Anjuna ‘Hippie hide-a-way, which become a legend to these parts.
SATURDAY NIGHT MARKET | ARPORA
All things are bright and beautiful. That’s Saturday Night Market in Arpora. And what a market it is! The place is genuinely a ‘melting pot’ of cultures. From multi-coloured hammocks and shorts to shoes, bags and psychedelic t-shirts – you name it, you have it here!
Resplendent with creatures great and small – great ‘coz without them, you’d never realize that bizarre can be hot and petite – that’s what you might feel like in comparison.
There’s fantastic food on sale as well. From Mexican to Israeli to the organic and the oily and Punjabi, anything your intestines could growl for is here. Live music and beer flowing like water add to the fun, approx. December until the end of April.
DUDHSAGAR FALLS | SONAULIM | GOA
It is located in the Sanguem district of Goa near the Goa-Karnataka border. It is located at a distance of around 60 kilometres from Arambol.
Dudhsagar Falls of Goa is ranked as the fifth-highest waterfall in India and is listed in the world’s Top 100 highest waterfalls.
The waterfalls have a milky white appearance, so it is named Dudhsagar, which means “Ocean of Milk”. The Dudhsagar waterfalls plunge from a staggering height of 2,000 feet.
Dudhsagar is located amongst the lush green surroundings of the forests of Western Ghats, making it even more scenic and beautiful.
