Photos of tourists about goa vg. Goa (state of India) - attractions and entertainment in Goa, overview
In January (unfortunately not this one, but 2 years ago), my friends and I went on vacation to Goa, the smallest and most special state of India. And finally, a small photo report.
Goa is a former Portuguese colony and one of the most Europeanized states in India. It is always warm, light and peaceful here. A few years ago, the place was legendary and inaccessible (especially for Russians). The image and popularity of Goa as a tourist destination was influenced by the hippies who settled here 50 years ago.
Today, it is no more difficult to fly to Goa than to Egypt, and the place of hippies has been taken by ordinary tourists from Russia and signs in Russian, actively exploiting the theme of beatniks and hippies.
1. Goa is very cozy and quiet place with beautiful beaches. Pictured is Palolem Beach at sunset (south Goa).
2. On Palolem that day, some Ukrainian singer was filming a video. Extras on the background of the sea.
3. Palolem - a beach of fantastic beauty, surrounded by small mountains, where you can easily climb.
4. The people for the most part live quite poorly, especially outside the tourist areas. The main means of transport are bicycles and scooters. Panaji, the capital of the state of Goa.
5. For short trips, you can take an auto rickshaw once. Although a regular taxi is still more profitable.
6. Motor rickshaw. Candolim city at night.
9. The Chinese philosopher Lao She believed that the state of society can be determined by how animals live there.
10. Not only cows live well in Goa. Only a fat Russian tourist can afford to kick a dog, just so that he does not interfere with his presence. The dog, not accustomed to such treatment, jumped and squealed.
11. For a local resident, buying a boat, even one so old and falling apart, is a sign of wealth and a way to make good money on fish, which tourists consume in tons.
12. In general, food in Goa is such a topic that you can devote a separate topic about it. She is amazing here - not sharp like the rest of India, but at the same time she retained her national identity.
13. Some of the most delicious dishes: Sisler (several dishes on a sizzling pan), cheese-nan (Indian cheese flatbread), banana lassi (a delicious drink based on yogurt or kefir), a variety of exotic fresh juices. On the right in the photo is the banal corbonara spaghetti (nevertheless, also delicious).
14. But the main thing, of course, is the fish. Huge, fatty, deliciously cooked and at the same time very cheap. You can have a hearty dinner for $5. Pictured is Red Snapper.
15. If you are in Goa for 10-14 days, then every day you can go to a new beach. As a rule, the beaches are located next to the villages, and each has its own flavor and characteristics.
18. Anjuna Beach has a strange pumice-like shore through which water seeps from below like a sponge.
19. On Wednesdays, the famous flea market takes place here, which began with hippies who sold everything unnecessary here and thus earned a living on the beach.
20. The baton was intercepted by the Indians and now it is a huge anthill designed exclusively for foreign tourists.
21. The beach, as it seemed to us, is distinguished by the most delicious food in shacks and cows, which are more than on other beaches.
22. Panaji is the most Big City Goa, big and multi-storey. The service here is less geared towards tourists. In the covered market, there are almost only Indians among buyers, and already low prices here are several times lower than near the beaches.
23. Indian barber sleeping on the job. Waiting for clients whose most popular service is face whitening.
24. In Panaji there are already tourists from India itself, who rarely see whites in life. They consider it prestigious to have a photo with white people, they ask for a photo

How to choose a place to stay so as not to be disappointed? The question is very difficult. After all, everyone has their own tastes and their own view of quality rest. But you can rely on the opinion of those who have already rest in that place. For example, if you are going to Goa, then the reviews of tourists in 2018 will help you understand what is there and how. You will find out the latest news about what is happening at the resort. New photos and videos of tourists are waiting for you so that you can visually see everything that is happening in Goa at the moment.

“Everyone knows what Goa is. But still coming here for the fifth, tenth time, you understand - this is true beautiful place where you can enjoy your vacation and enjoy it.
The beaches here are perfection. Of course, not all, but those that belong to the hotels are beautiful and clean. You can walk barefoot on them, and fully enjoy your vacation.
Palm trees grow near the beaches. Coconuts and bananas on palm trees. But they do not have time to ripen, as tourists quickly pluck them in their prime.
It is interesting to watch in the evenings how locals gather on the beach and meditate. They make their sounds, do something, then sit in a circle and begin meditation. It's great and interesting.
The sunsets here are the best in the world. Many tourists at these moments, when the sun sets below the horizon, specially go to the beach to admire this beauty.
To summarize, I will say - to relax in Goa, this is a pleasure that cannot be compared with anything.

“Why do people go to Goa for holidays? It's simple - they want to get a luxurious vacation that they will remember forever. Yes, Goa is heaven on earth. beautiful coast, gorgeous sea, hotels and attractions. Everything is beautiful here, and I want to see it all every day.
I stayed here in February. The weather was good and warm. And during the day it's really hot. The sea is such that you don't want to leave it. The waves are not very big, but they are liked by surfers who try to ride them.
We often went out into nature as a group. They just gathered and went to the mountains, to the fields, to the forests. It is beautiful there. Lots of animals and birds. Local crops grow on the fields, which are harvested by the residents. They are friendly and always smile at us.
I have been coming here for five years now. And I'm going to keep coming. As long as I can."

“I love Goa. I can’t single out something specific, because I like the whole holiday. Like excursions. We often go to waterfalls on them. The waterfalls are beautiful - water flies down and falls at high speed. It's scary and very beautiful. I like to visit local temples and sights. There you can understand how the country lives and learn its history.
Like the beaches. They are the ones that don't exist anywhere else. Big, sandy and unique. You can do whatever you want on them. You can play sports, you can sunbathe, you can eat in a cafe. All around in the sand. and everywhere sand, which is soft as starch.
Like the sea. It is big and beautiful. It is one in the morning, another in the afternoon, and the most beautiful in the evening. It is very cool when the moon shines on the sea and is reflected in it. The reflection of the moon runs along the waves, and you can admire it endlessly.
To understand all this, you need to come here and get the maximum pleasure!”

“It's nice to remember about the rest in Goa. It seems like so many months have passed, and everything was like yesterday. And I remember him because it was great.
Gorgeous beaches. They have a lot of sand and the beaches are huge. Coastline long, and the beach itself is wide. Even a herd of elephants can fit here, but there are none on the beaches.
The sea is warm and clean. I was told that the sea is dirty here, but this is not true. Even going ten meters into the sea, you can see your feet and the bottom. Therefore, there are many diving enthusiasts here. They dive underwater and swim in the hope of finding treasure.
There are waves on the sea, and surfers catch these moments. I myself am afraid to ride a board on the waves, but I like to watch others. I prefer boating. You buy a ticket, get on a boat and ride along Goa all day. You can sail to the bay and inspect it.
The hotels here are different. But in any case, they are all good and they have everything you need. At the same time, if you buy a tour in advance, you can save. The weather in winter is also great. The winds are not strong, there is no rain. It's hot, especially at lunchtime. Therefore, at lunchtime it is better to stay in hotels or go on an excursion.
It is interesting to watch how tourists sit on an elephant for the first time. They are afraid, and at the same time they climb on him anyway.
There are many interesting things in Goa and here everyone will find their rest. So come!”
