It's fun to drive around various beaches of Goa || Must do things in Goa, India

Hiring a bike, car or jeep is one of the most important thing for exploring goa in best way and make best of your trip to this beautiful destination, which is popular for it's beaches. Goa beaches are very well connected through roads and best way to commute is through personal vehicles which can rented for as many days as you want. This Photo Journey shares some information about Car/Bike renting in Goa and some photographs from Goa which were clicked while driving across the city.Before going to Goa, we reached to few of the folks who rent vehicles in Candolim area. Actually we planned to stay around Candolim beach and wanted to rent out a vehicle around this place. One of our friends recommended someone and we confirmed our booking to him over phone. He picked us from the airport in same car and we took charge of the vehicle after that. It's overall very economical to hire a car or a bike instead of hiring a taxi. So essnetially travellers hire a vehicle for a fixed amount per day and then we need to bear the cost of Petrol/Diesel. And you would surprised to know that prices of Petrol are almost same of Diesel in Goa.Moonsoon is not main season is Goa so we got reasonable rates to rent out a Maruti WagonR. We paid 800 rs per day, when we took this car for 4 days, which was pretty reasonable if we calculate the cost of hiring a taxi for pick and drop from Aiport & travelling between the beaches of Goa.Driving on your own in Goa adds more excitement to your vacations. Now you can roam around the places as per your wish and no restrictions on timings. Goa is generally a safe place to wander at any time. Locals understand the importance of security of tourists and privacy. Major economy of Goa is dependent on tourism and hence overall environment is quite favorable for tourists. And Goa is happening during late nights as well.Driving on your own also brings lot of opportunities to explore the least explored parts of Goa. When we were coming back from Aguada Fort, as noticed a beach on our right with lot of coconut trees around it and an array of boats parked on one of the corners. Then we made a plan to visit this visit and have a closer look. It looked like a typical beach we usually see in photographs or television :) . When we drove to this beach, it was a great experience. Only we were there on that beach with all fishermen who stay around this beach. The very first photograph of this photo journey was shot when we were driving towards this beach through lush green paddy fields.Similarly when we went to Old Goa and spent some time around the churches and Magesh temple, we explored some beautiful roads which were not on our way to these places. All these drives exposed us to vegetable farms in countryside and the places where colorful flowers are used to make local wines in Goa. Even smaller waterfalls look awesome during these random drives.Most of the times, when we are in Goa we spend most of the time on beaches, casinos and comparatively lesser driving time. Although, if time allows one should spend more time driving around various parts of Goa as it has lot of things to explore. We had real fun driving in Goa and this made us explore lot more than what we planned. And personally I love exploring things which are least known or not so popular. These less commercialized places always bring a very different experience of holidays.

Different beaches come to our mind when we think about Goa, but Goa has many other interesting things to explore. And Old Goa has some of the beautiful architecture which takes you to a very different world. In this particular post, we are talking about two main churches situated in Old Goa - 'Se Cathedral' & 'Basilica of Bom Jesus'.The very first photograph of this Photo Journey shows entry to the Basilica of Bom Jesus which is located in old part of Goa. The Vasilica of Bom jesus is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Basilica holds the mortal remains of St. Francis Xavier. There aresome very interesting facts associated with this place and we recommend to find a guide to walk you through some of the interesting elements of The Basalica. It was third day of our Goa Trip, when we though of exploring Southern part of Goa. Old Goa is in southern region. From Panjim, one needs to drive through Goa Institute of Management to reach Se Catheral and Basilica of Bom Jesus. Both of these campuses are nearby and at walking distance. So we parked our car near Se Cathedral. Spent some time around the Cathedral and then walked to the Basilica.Se Cathedral is also known as The Se Catedral de Santa Catarina. This is the cathedral of the Latin Rite Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Goa. Supposedly it's considered as the largest church in India, which is dedicated to Catherine of Alexandria. Se Cathedral is one of the oldest and most celebrated religious buildings in Goa and is one of the largest churches in Asia as well.Above photograph shows the view of Cathedral from Basilica of Bom Jesus. Both of these are located across the road in Old Goa. Above photograph shows interiors of the Basilica of Bom Jesus. This church is located in Old Goa, which was the capital of Goa in the early days of Portuguese rule. 'Bom Jesus' name is used for the infant Jesus. The church is India’s first minor basilica which is considered to be one of the best examples of baroque architecture in India.Another view of Cathedral from Basilica. Cathedral's tower has a large bell which is popularly known as the 'Golden Bell' on account of its rich tone. There is an altar, which is dedicated to Catherine of Alexandria and there are various old paintings on both the sides. On the right hand side, there is a Chapel of the Cross of Miracles. Check out more about this cathedral at - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Se_CathedralIf I try to summarize overall experience of Old Goa, it was more about Portuguese architecture. Both Se cathedral and Basilica of Bom Jesus are in a huge area and very well maintained. Both of these are very high buildings with some of the cool painting and sculptures. To me the marvelous architecture was beautiful thing to explore in Old Goahe architectural style of the Se Cathedral is Portuguese-Manueline. The exterior is Tuscan, whereas the interior is Corinthian. The church is very long &approximately 250 feet. And the breadth is bit more than 180 feet. Architecture was something that I could appreciate the most around this place & old Goa.This was shot inside the Basilica of Bom Jesus and wikipedia has very intersting details about it's architecture, which we missed exploring during the visit. Actually we had to go to Spice plantation on same day and didn't want to miss because of timings. Check out wiki link to know more about Basilica - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basilica_of_Bom_Jesus

VJ Sharma, thank you so much for posting this blog. It has given me EXACT information i wanted! I am planning to go to Goa and want to drive around and was not confident if i could do that. But after readying you post i feel much better! Although I have not driven in India for nearly 4 decades, I want to wet my feet ( so to speak) and start to drive there. One question though: how did you find hotels to stay when you were tired or wanted to rest before starting your next leg of the journey? Thank you again.

Thank you for the article - very helpful. How would you rate the road safety for car users overall - through the eyes of smb who never drove in India? We are from Europe, but have lived in the Middle East, where the driving can be hectic. Thank you, Katya

Main places to see & Top things to do around Dalhousie : Stunning Hill Station in Himalayan State of India

  Dalhousie is one of the most popular Hill Stations in Himachal  and there is lot to explore around Dalhousie. This is small and very well maintained town in Chamba region of Himachal Pradesh . This Photo Journey shares some of the exciting places around Chamba and how to plan a good one day tour through Khajjiar, Chamba & Chamera etc. CHAMERA HYDROLIC PROJECT Chamera Hydroelectric Project is located in Banikhet, 7 kms from Dalhousie. The water body near the lake is very scenic and is a popular boating spot. Chamera Dam is around 40 kilometers from Chamba Town. It takes approximately 1.5 hrs to reach the place is road condition is good. Overall it’s a little dry terrain as compared to Dalhousie and Khajjiar. And temperature also goes up as we go towards Chamera Dam.  As you move out from Chamba town, you follow Ravi river for some time and then take right. After 45 minutes of drive, you get a glimpse of Chemera Dam.
