The serene morning time breeze & the villages of Goa passing past times made me imagine what lied ahead inward my journeying on this province of silence & revelry. The precipitous gush of air current from the car’s window told me, “You are hither non to rediscover yourself, but to abide by the answer to query – What is the hush-hush behind this dearest for travel?’ While I won’t state that the trip revealed all the secrets behind one’s hunger to explore dissimilar places, I am assured that it has given me the courage to proceed travelling until I abide by it.
Why Goa? That’s because I receive got visited this house earlier but never explored the other side of this beautiful land. It tin offering you lot a lot of things apart from booze & beaches, exclusively if you lot arrive at upward one's hear to go farther, away from the beaches.
When you lot are travelling lonely inward Goa, you lot receive got to follow exclusively 1 dominion – Just become alongside the flow!
Day 1
The hush-hush getaway nigh Aguada Jail

On my start twenty-four hours itself my band decided to betray me, in addition to thence alongside no access to Google Maps, I took off on my Scooty. While the route signs inward Goa are pretty accurate, the locals are to a greater extent than than happy to guide you lot through inward example you lot experience lost. So that’s when I started feeling comfortable inward Goa because it’s nigh agreement the locale & blending alongside it.
I started my journeying towards Aguada Fort when instead of taking a correct plow for the Fort, I went instantly towards Aguada Jail. The route that leads to the jail is quite soothing, the trees to your correct & the shimmering bounding main to your left offers a breath-taking view.

While the Jail is non a house where you lot could revive history or receive got pictures behind bars equally it’s a surgical operation jail & nobody is allowed inside. So, it was pointless waiting exterior & taking pictures of the gothic styled sculpture exterior the jail’s gate but that’s when I noticed a little path going downwards towards the sea. I followed it in addition to it led me to a secluded spot alongside bounding main rocks, where 1 tin sit down for hours watching the Sun laid over the vast H2O trunk inward forepart of us.
My side past times side halt was the Aguada Fort. To hold upward honest it’s a bad thought to see at that topographic point inward the afternoon or for that affair inward the Summers, since the scorching oestrus & the Dominicus inward a higher house you lot absorbs all the loose energy out of you. Ideally, an early on Morning see or visiting hither inward the monsoon would hold upward a swell idea.
So, after the futile see to the Aguada Fort I headed towards Chapora Fort– A house where picturesque landscape is a reality.

The Chapora Fort is located inward Bardez in addition to overlooks the beautiful Chapora River. Just when you lot start climbing to the top you lot larn an thought of what lies ahead. The Vagator Beach to your left looks mesmerizing because of its beautiful sandy stretch. The Chapora River to your correct offers a breath-taking sentiment of the typical Goa that you lot imagine alongside kokosnoot trees standing tall & the roofs of little Villas & Churches peeking out.

Wondering how it volition expect inward monsoon? |
I believe, ‘Sometimes you lot receive got to become beyond the nothing, because at the terminate that’s where the truthful beauty lies’. So that’s what I did in addition to believe me it was the best experience of my life!!

The beauty beyond the null ! |
The Chapora Fort is an amazing house where you lot tin pass hours admiring the beauty of the bounding main & the land. Going at that topographic point inward the afternoon during summertime powerfulness ruin your visit, my advice – see it 1-2 hours earlier the sunset & remain until the stars start twinkling.
Things started getting to a greater extent than exciting & happening equally fourth dimension passed by. The Vagator Beach tempted me to walk barefoot on the sand,it was hard to state goodbye to such an amazing place, but equally nosotros all know, memories tin hold upward made at every few steps!
After a brusk walk on the Vagator Beach, I headed to Calangute to pick out grip of the sunset in addition to larn ready for the side past times side day’s exciting in addition to adventurous trip to Old Goa & Olaulim.
