Rest in North Goa and South. What is the Fundamental Difference?

Many travelers love to visit a relatively new direction for Russian tourism - India. Tourist operators only two years ago began to organize a flight program in this unusual exotic country.

Everyone imagines a holiday in India in different ways. Someone sees this as a complete relaxation on the shore of the purest Indian Ocean, and someone - as round-the-clock get-togethers and entertainment. Who is wrong?

It turns out that he and that kind of rest can be found in the state of GOA. But you need to look right. Rest in the Northern Goa is fundamentally different from the way it flows on the South. Incidentally, the GOA staff used to be a Portuguese colony. Now it is the most developed, in all senses, region of India. Here, traditions, architecture and history of both peoples were preserved.

I will write separately about rest in the Northern GOA and Southern. It is very important to correctly determine the place of rest so as to enable your dream to come true.

Southern GOA. On the territory of the Southern GOA among the chic jungle vegetation there are posh modern hotels, with a large territory, own pools and beaches. Basically hotels work on the concept of "breakfast", usually a buffet. For lunch and dinner you need to pay extra. Dining and dining can be not on the premises of the hotel, on the beach or next to the hotel, as a rule, there are several cafes or restaurants, where for a modest amount you can eat seafood and other dishes of national Indian cuisine. Some hotels have an All Inclusive system, but do not expect the same scope as in Turkey. Recreation in the hotels of South Goa is very calm and measured: there is usually no animation, maximum during the dinner is live music; Entertainment is also small. But all this is compensated by the cleanest beaches of the Indian Ocean, the water temperature of which does not drop below 25 degrees all year round, chic SPA-salons and swimming pools. From the hotel you can go to the center of Panaji, visit shopping centers, markets and various excursions. This resort is suitable for honeymooners, people of mature age or recreation with children. But, cheap tours to India - it's not about the South GOA, rest at a high level and will not be cheap. The only way to cheaply go to a court is to catch a hot tour to India.

Rest in the Northern GOA is the exact opposite of the South. North Goa hotels stand in residential areas, some say, in the slums. The hotels, as a rule, are very small, without swimming pools or only with one, according to the "All inclusive" system do not work. Beaches are all municipal, sun loungers and umbrellas for an additional fee. This area of India is designed for young people who adore to have fun until the morning. Here for her all the conditions: cheap accommodation in hotels, low prices for all goods, exotic night clubs and beach parties. Conditionally, the entire coast of the Northern Goa of India is divided into beaches, and so the beaches of Baga, Anjuna and Calangute (are near each other) are a fun center. Young girls and guys like to come here. Unfortunately, these areas of the coast can not boast of clean beaches and water. But that easily solved! Since the area of the Northern GOA itself is not at all big, it is easy on any transport to drive away from Bagi or Anjuna and go and enjoy the nature of "advertising Bounty." But there is one more factor that attracts tourists to the north of the GOA state - these are cheap tours to India. And cheap - it means to the north. It's very rare that a hot tour to India will take you to the South.

And for people who want to get and living at a high level, and night entertainment, there is an excellent solution - to book a hotel in the south and drive in the evening to the north of GOA. This is quite possible, given the low prices for taxis and very short distances.
