Goa | 4 Days

Today we will explore the beaches & attractions in North Goa. Vagator Beach: Picturesque beach with beautiful loneliness and scenic grandeur. Adjoining the famous Anjuna Beach, Vagator is a little more laid back, though still pretty much steeped in the rave culture. The tourist traffic is predominantly Western backpackers; however, it has also become popular with Indian tourists, who mainly come to watch the sunset from the rocks. Anjuna Beach: Popularly known as “Hippies Paradise”, Anjuna is a small village in Goa which is famous for its picturesque locale and the Party culture. Located in the Bardez taluka of North Goa, it is one of the 12 Brahmin communities here. The beauty of the beach comes from the combined effect of white sands and the red laterite rocks. Aguada Fort: Fort Aguada and its lighthouse is a well-preserved seventeenth-century Portuguese fort settled on the Sinquerim beach, overlooking the vast expanses of Arabian Sea. The fort was built in 1612 to guard against the Dutch and the Marathas. It was a vantage point for the vessels coming from Europe at that time. The fort ruins are the perfect lookout to the confluence of the Mandovi River with the Arabian Sea. Return to Hotel for stay overnight.
