Holiday bole tho- GOA for college students...


Every college guy comes to me and says, Bhai we are planning for a trip to GOA. Arrange for a great trip at good budget more loads of fun is expected. So for all those I have decided to bring the best package understanding each aspect of their travel plan. For those who want real experience of Goa call @ 9986248454

Goa, an idyllic sun-and-sand getaway, is a wonderful holiday destination especially in the winter months of December and January. As you get into the holiday mood, it is necessary to be mindful of a few unwanted elements that are an inexplicable part of Goa’s beach atmosphere. The sight of foreign tourists makes most hawkers move in for the kill. The prices they quote are mostly exorbitant and they keep pestering until you purchase something from them. Don’t let them come close to your bag, as something might invariably find its way into their bag when they leave. A firm ‘no’ is enough to discourage them, considering you do not engage in any conversation with them. 

While strolling the beach, in all probability you will meet this curious character who claims to be a professional ear doctor. He stops you, produces a card, and promises you a great ear treatment. If you believe him and ask him to work on your ears, he might simply clean your ear with a cotton bud and produce some stones saying he pulled them out of your ear! It is hilarious as much as obnoxious. Do not waste any money in getting such a treatment. If buying anything from a hawker, make sure you negotiate the rate as there is a tendency to over charge. You could be rudely interrupted by beggars or touts while relaxing on the beach and enjoying the sun. Always take care of your belongings, and abstain from carrying around too much cash. 

More often than not you will spot little kids offering to polish your shoes, even if you are wearing white flip flops! The worst of the lot are the masseurs offering a therapy on the beach for an earth-shattering rate, especially to foreigners. Such massages can sometimes be more harmful than relaxing, and you can’t ever be sure if the guy is qualified. If you want to get a massage done, visit a proper Ayurveda massage centre scattered all around Goa. While traveling in train beware of pick-pockets. Women should avoid strolling by the beach alone at night, and if you must, make sure you have a companion. 

Steer clear of small time jewelry stores that sometimes trap tourists by first quoting a higher price, and if the shopper negotiates and doesn't buy the product, he is harassed into buying something at least. If you wish to shop for jewelry, go to reputed big stores that have courteous staff. Also be warned of the 'timeshare crew', who ride up their motorbikes to you and inform that you have just won a lottery. Such people get paid rather well for enticing holidaymakers to their venue. In order to avoid this, a polite “no thank you” is enough to send them on their way
