It all started with a discussion as to where the next trip should be. And without saying the name of the destination aloud, we knew where we were heading to! A 5-day trip to Goa with friends was a long-awaited one. We knew we wanted to be in South Goa. We wanted to explore the surreal blue beaches.

The best part about South Goa apart from the beaches is its beach shacks which serve some of the delicious dishes and beer. Sunsets, a good shack, and beer- sum up our every evening!

We stayed at Club Mahindra, Varca Beach. It was definitely the best decision taken. The resort had everything- access to serene beach, two amazing swimming pools, cozy rooms, fun activities, and of course good food! We had planned our activities in such a manner that we experienced both North Goa and South Goa.

Journeying to South Goa, we discovered a tranquil paradise adorned with pristine beaches and serene landscapes. We hiked down to Pebble Beach, and it surely was the highlight of the trip. On our way to the same, we met a few fishermen, and had a good conversation with them, while trying our hands on fishing.

Exploring North Goa, we soaked up the lively vibes and enjoyed thrilling moments on the vibrant beaches. We went on a dolphin-sighting trip on Butterfly Beach and we were lucky enough to sight them! Lunch at a roadside small shack-like place was a delicious one! Certainly, it was hard to resist the vibrant markets in North Goa.

Unfortunately, we couldn't explore them much due to limited time. If you love shopping, these markets offer affordable and attractive souvenirs. Together, we laughed, discovered hidden spots, and created a bunch of unforgettable memories. Whether we were in the lively hustle of North Goa or the chill vibes of the South, each moment, from sunrise to sunset, made our trip a fantastic journey with friends that we'll be talking about for years.
