Six Reasons Why Should Plan a Goa Holiday this Winter!

-

  
Given a choice to visit just one place in India, many would pick Goa. And it’s not without a reason!


Flanked by the lush Western Ghats on one side and the Arabian Sea on the other, Goa is the smallest in India, offering a joyous junction for holidaymakers from all over the world. It boasts a marvellous mix of nature, history, culture, modern delights, and adventures – all within a radius of 100kms.
From marvelous beaches to buzzing flea markets and some hidden gems – we’ve picked six irresistible reasons why your next holiday should be in Goa.


Beaches for all Moods























This is probably the best attribute of Goa. No matter what your idea of a perfect beach holiday is – Goa will seldom disappoint you. From festive atmosphere at Baga and Calangute, to the ultimate serenity and solitude at Majorda, and breathtaking panorama at Vagator, to cheerful ambiance of Candolim – there is a beach to cater all moods.
My favourite ones include Colva, Arambol, and Querim whose otherworldly beauty will stun you to the hilt.


Nature Beyond Beaches




Goa's beauty is not restricted to its shores. As many as 3 wildlife sanctuaries, many spectacular waterfalls (including the majestic Dudhsagar falls), tranquil hills, unexplored mangrove forests, and of course the serene shores make it a paradise for nature buffs.

Historical and magnificent Churches

























If history and culture is your thing, visiting Goa’s age-old churches and temples will delight you no end. Some must-visit ones include The Basilica of Bom Jesus and The Church of St. Francis of Assisi.


Fun-filled Family Attractions


























For families, Goa is a treat to remember. The beaches like Colva and Candolim are where you can see hordes of families enjoying quality time. Kids would love making sand castles, and the fun-filled family cruise. Activities like Dolphin tour make your family holiday in Goa all the more gratifying.



Shopping






Goa is where you would be able to figure out the difference between shopping and true retail therapy. Head to Wednesday Market at Anjuna, and you would be spoilt for choice when it comes to exotic souvenirs - from clothes and jewellery to unique handmade artefacts – all at great bargains. Mapusa market is another place where shopping is a whole new experience. Panaji, the Goan capital, has many markets and malls to satiate your cravings for shopping and dining. If you’re in South Goa, lively markets of Mudgaon would enthrall you.
  

Adventure Sports

Goa offers endless opportunities to test your mettle. Try aqua sports like para-sailing, jet skiing, and banana boat ride, or take a cruise down the Mandovi River to explore untamed facets of the state. Trekking in the lush green Western Ghats is another reason why Goa remains in the bucket list of adventure buffs from around the world.

Our content-writing team at SOUTHALL TRAVEL had long been planning for a team outing, but we were not able to decide the destination. All were suggesting different choices and views. After a long debate, we all agreed on a place most of us were unaware of. BAROG!!! Barog?  Where is this place?? What is it famous for?? There were several questions none of us were unable to answer. I rummaged on internet and found that Barog is a small hilly town on Chandigarh-Shimla highway. In Solan district of Himachal Pradesh, the town is nestled at an altitude of around 6000 ft above the sea level. It is no so popular; but offers a peaceful ambiance and abundant natural beauty. Then I got to learn about the intriguing history about Barog. Actually, the town is named after Colonel Barog, a British engineer who planned to construct the world's largest straight tunnel on the Kalka-Shimla Railway Track. In a bid to speed up the work, he ordered to drill the mountain from bot...
