Festivals in Goa:

Experience the pomp and show during the enchanting festivals and fairs in Goa, and have a magical holiday. Tourists from all over the world flock to this destination as there is always a vibrant party scene and Goa festivals are celebrated with much gusto and enthusiasm. From monsoon to the winter season, this city will never let you face a dull moment.

Christmas and New Years are celebrated to a major extent here and the festivities carry on till dawn. Another festival you shouldn’t miss out on is the local seafood festival during November. This five day event takes place on the beaches of Goa and there are various local stalls selling delicious Goan cuisine. Get a taste of Goa at the fish stalls and the the Kokum Kadhi is a must try.

If you are looking for more grand celebrations, visit Goa in February as this is when the Carnival takes place. This three-day festival was started by the Portuguese during the 18th century and involves colorful feasts. You will get to witness a dynamic mix of colour, dance, enthusiasm and music. There are also mega parades where various bands perform and people dawn numerous costumes. It is full of fun and frolic and showcases the essence of the Goan spirit.

Other festivals that are also celebrated in a big manner include the Feast of the Three Kings, Bonderam festival, the Feast Of St. Francis Xavier, the Sao Joao Festival and the Shigmotsav.

Goan cuisines:

A visit to Goa is incomplete without trying some of the delicious local cuisines depicting a true collaboration where the east meets the west in a delectable array of dishes. Goan cuisines include tantalizing spicy seafood dishes, traditional Goan snacks, a variety of sweet and savory items and much more! The Indo-Portuguese influence is evident in the food of Goa that can be seen in the bhali-pau, classic fish curry rice,  the vindaloo and a spicy xacuti sauce.

Some of the other Goan specialities include the multi-layered cake Bebinca, the delicious spicy gravy dish Ambot Tik, the thick coconut gravy dish Crab Xec Xec, the spicy coriander dish Chicken Cafreal, the rich pork stew Sorpotel, mushroom xacuti and the white and fluffy cake Sanna.

Most of the Goan restaurants also offer chourico (pickled pig's liver cooked in vinegar with tamarind) along with their dishes. You will get to taste a lot of chillies and cashew nuts as well as coconut sauces in traditional Goan dishes. Make sure you also sip on some delicious local and imported beers and wines like feni etc.

Hub of souvenirs:

A shopaholic’s true delight, Goa is crammed with plenty of flea markets and night bazaars where you can pick a variety of items. From hippie clothing to shell and bamboo work, junk jewellery, terracotta and brassware, and feni and bebinca, you can find it all. Most of the flea markets take place at the beaches like the Wednesday market at Anjuna, the Saturday Night Bazaar at Arpora, the Panjim Market and the Mapusa Market.

At the Mapusa market, you can souvenirs, like: antique pieces, traditional handicrafts, textiles, spices, Goan pottery, fruits, sausages and more. At the other flea markets, you can purchase local handicrafts, clothes, trinkets, footwear, beachwear and more. Spend an entire day at these markets picking up souvenirs for your loved ones and indulge the shopaholic in you!

    Belgaum

    Harshal's 3 days trip to Goa

    The overall trip was good. However inspite of intimating that we would be reaching early at the hotel and to give early check in for atleast one room we were made to wait for atleast 3 hrs. I feel that should be taken into consideration. The taxi driver didn't inform us that one of the locations wer
    e to close by 5 pm and hence missed the sightseeing as it was already closed, which was another disappointment. Anyways we built good memories out of our vacation.

    Karthi Keyan

    Coimbatore

    Karthi's 5 days trip to Goa

    Overall the trip was good. Below were some points which definitely required improvements. 1. Hotel - They have changed the room in-between from cottage to Executive room. This is not as per the plan. We have to repack everything and shift the things. 2. The common pickup and drop bus for the Cruis
    e and water sports activities is not at all proper. There is no proper communication to the commuters about where they have to get down and where they have to present for pickup. I went on a Bus for Cruise dinner, where many people where there and most of them were not aware like where they have to get down as there seems to be multiple cruise stops. Driver also not informing properly. After many enquired about the stopping, he has checked the list and dropped in between. Then we walked around 500 meters again to the original stop. 3. The water sports pickup and drop also same issue. We were picked by Bus, in-between the person shifted us to CAB. The CAB person dropped us in the location and for pickup he asked to come where the he has dropped. But when we returned from the watersports activity, we didn't see any CAB in that location. Also, no one informed us about where we have to go for the proper pickup. Then we have called the person who arranged and he directed us to a BUS stand where the actual pickup bus was there. [Additionally, to be noted there is no seats available in the BUS. The BUS is too crowded and many people were standing completely till their stops comes.] 4. The water sports activities mentioned and agreed in the plan is not all what we experienced. 1. The water sports cruise was too crowded with lot of people in groups. 2. They have given priority for the groups and we were forced to wait for longer time. 3. The water sports activities is a big disappointment. Because out of the 6 activities mentioned, we were allowed for only 3. That too with very long waiting time and the activity also very short near to the cruise boat. We noticed that person has to give some extra amount to the persons who is conducting these activities in-order to take us for a bit long ride.
