The serene morning time breeze & the villages of Goa passing yesteryear made me imagine what lied ahead inwards my journeying on this province of silence & revelry. The abrupt gush of air current from the car’s window told me, “You are hither non to rediscover yourself, but to notice the response to interrogation – What is the subway scheme behind this dearest for travel?’ While I won’t tell that the trip revealed all the secrets behind one’s hunger to explore unlike places, I am assured that it has given me the courage to go out on travelling until I notice 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 give the sack offering yous a lot of things apart from booze & beaches, exclusively if yous arrive at upward one's heed to go farther, away from the beaches.
When yous are travelling lone inwards Goa, yous receive got to follow exclusively 1 dominion – Just become amongst the flow!
Day 1
The subway scheme getaway close Aguada Jail
On my kickoff twenty-four threescore minutes menstruum itself my holler decided to betray me, in addition to then amongst no access to Google Maps, I took off on my Scooty. While the route signs inwards Goa are pretty accurate, the locals are to a greater extent than than happy to guide yous through inwards representative yous experience lost. So that’s when I started feeling comfortable inwards Goa because it’s close agreement the locale & blending amongst it.
I started my journeying towards Aguada Fort when instead of taking a correct plough for the Fort, I went forthwith 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 yous could revive history or accept pictures behind bars every bit it’s a performance 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 amongst bounding main rocks, where 1 tin give the sack sit down for hours watching the Sun gear upward over the vast H2O trunk inwards front end of us.
My adjacent halt was the Aguada Fort. To endure honest it’s a bad thought to see at that topographic point inwards the afternoon or for that thing inwards the Summers, since the scorching rut & the Dominicus higher upward yous absorbs all the loose energy out of you. Ideally, an early on Morning see or visiting hither inwards the monsoon would endure a smashing 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 inwards Bardez in addition to overlooks the beautiful Chapora River. Just when yous start climbing to the top yous teach 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 persuasion of the typical Goa that yous imagine amongst kokosnoot trees standing tall & the roofs of little Villas & Churches peeking out.

Wondering how it volition await inwards monsoon? |
I believe, ‘Sometimes yous receive got to become beyond the nothing, because at the goal 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 aught ! |
The Chapora Fort is an amazing house where yous tin give the sack pass hours admiring the beauty of the bounding main & the land. Going at that topographic point inwards 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 every bit fourth dimension passed by. The Vagator Beach tempted me to walk barefoot on the sand,it was hard to tell goodbye to such an amazing place, but every bit nosotros all know, memories tin give the sack endure made at every few steps!
After a curt walk on the Vagator Beach, I headed to Calangute to grab the sunset in addition to teach cook for the adjacent day’s exciting in addition to adventurous trip to Old Goa & Olaulim.
