Goa Beach Tour
Goa Beach Tour

Goa is the land of swaying palms, white sands and sparkling sea which calls on large number of tourists from several parts of globe to spend memorable holidays. The enthralling charm of Goa hidden in its interwoven beauty of azure water, sun kissed sandy beaches, pulsating nightlife, diverse flora & fauna and array of water sports activities. Goa Beaches are one of the most popular Beaches in India where tourists come to enjoy splendor of nature at its best.

I have heard and read about Goa several times but never visited it. But last weekend my two friends invited me to join their weekend break at Goa. This invitation was like a blessing to fulfill my long cherished dream of Goa Tour.

Our tour was customized so that we can enjoy Goa beaches to our hilt. And truly speaking beaches are the foremost attractions of this place. I reached Goa in afternoon from Delhi via flight where I joined my friends who were waiting for me at airport lounge. Form there we took a taxi and reached the Anjuna Beach Resort. After having quick refreshment we headed towards the Anjuna beach.

I was spellbound at very first sight of this beach. This is a picture perfect beach whose charm lies in its azure sea and silvery sand and palm fringed bays. The gentle sea breeze and sound of waves lapping the shore maximizes its scenic charm. The serene and scenic ambiances of Anjuna Beach engrossed me completely.

Evening at this beach was amazing. We saw the dramatic version of nature in which star studded sky slowly and swiftly enveloped the vast expanse of sea. Slowly and silently nature changed its colorful attire which makes me not only speechless but also thoughtless. It was really a sense stimulating experience which almost made me numb.

As the night fell the beauty of darkness had its own romanticism to reveal. I with my friends strolled around the beach watching star studded sky flanked over the vast Arabian Sea. The whimsical sound of sea waves molded with sea breeze hypnotized us like a black magic. We rested on the seaside till late night and then headed for our dinner in a beach side restaurant. Here we tasted lip smacking Prawns Masala and Crab Curry with peg after peg of alcohol. The food was so good that its taste is still lingering on my taste buds because it was made from the fresh sea fish and original spices.

Next morning when we wake up from our last night hangover we found that we were in our resort. We don’t know how we reached here but the jubilant we felt last night can’t be expressed in words.

After having refreshment we again went to the beach to enjoy our day in lap of serene and scenic ambiances. Through out the whole day we enjoyed the pleasure of swimming, sun bathing and beach strolling. Though each activity we enjoyed had its own excitement yet the thrilling experience of swimming in the sea is the most memorable one.

The whole day was full of fun, thrill, excitement and above all after long time we childhood friends were together sharing our memories. After spending whole day in leisure we return to hotel and packed our luggage and move towards airport, from there we took flight of our respective destinations. Before saying goodbye to each other we planned our next tour for Kerala Beaches to enjoy our holidays.

I do have a few friends who talk about ‘exotic holidays’. When I planned for a

Kovlam Beaches

Kovlam Beaches

Kerala trip, they asked me to visit Kovalam, located 15 km from the capital city Thiruvananthapuram. Again they told me that the small town of Kovalam is simply perfect for exotic holidays. Now I was very excited to explore the divine beauty of the place. I was confused why my friends were promoting the place so eagerly. But all my curiosities came to an end when I arrived at Kerala’s beautiful Kovalam beach. A superb blend of sun, sand, surf and sea, lush green coconut groves, wonderful opportunities for adventure sports and marvellous sightseeing – the place was spellbinding. I call it the paradise of south India.

While I was walking on the shimmering silver sands, the palm fringed beach was giving me a sense of well-being. I could see various tourists busy in surfing, rejuvenating themselves with oil baths and Ayurvedic massages, and many such activities alongside the beautiful beach on the Malabar Coast. While enjoying a drink at a beach side shake, the waiter told me that Kovalam means ‘a grove of coconut trees’. The place is quite popular amongst sea surfers from India as well as abroad. People come here for lazing around, sun bathing, or swimming in the cool waters if the sun gets too much for them.

Kovalam beach, basically, comprises of three small beachesthe Lighthouse beach, Samudra beach and the Hawah beach. I also found a few health centers there, which promote both yoga and meditation to clean the mind as well as soul. In the evening, I treated my taste buds with the authentic sea food dishes including lobsters, and enjoyed a few cultural performances of the famous dance form ‘Kathakali’ and martial art form ‘Kalaripayattu’.

The next morning, I started with shopping. The markets were loaded with the rarest of handicraft items and I could feel the aroma of fresh spices everywhere. While enjoying the catamaran cruise on country rafts, I explored some of the rural ares near the village and observed the lifestyle of those villagers also. The trip was unforgettable. I called up my friends, and told them that it was actually an ‘exotic holiday’ !
