Goa
The Goa people miss on their first three trips
Why Goa
A Goa itinerary for people who think they have seen Goa. Latin-quarter walks in Fontainhas, spice farm lunches, kayaking the Sal backwaters, the coves south of Palolem that need a boat to reach, and exactly one proper beach-shack night. Weekend-sized, memory-heavy — and for the party crowd we still run the full North Goa batch over New Year.
