I admire the opportunity to travel to South Goa lately in the month of March 2021. This vlog is a compilation of the things I did in South Goa besides the wonderful beaches and places.
This goa trip is really close to my heart. Everything happened all of a sudden without any concrete plan. We were supposed to go Hampi in March but due to Covid and lockdown restrictions in Karnataka we had to choose Goa rather than turning off the whole plan. Goa restrictions were not that strict. No Corona test was mandatory.
Whenever I plan any trip, I always make sure that I should never cross Rs. 5000 (I know sometimes it will go here and there but if you decide the budget then nothing can stop you to have the budget trip, Agreed right?)
Let’s talk about our Goa trip now, Goa has divided in North and South. I always heard North goa has a good vibe but lot of chaos and crowd. So, chances of getting corona positive might have increased, we don’t want to get harm or surrounded by bunch of people where we can’t control the crowd.
I already red about the South goa culture and calm, peaceful beaches with very less crowd. So, we decided to stay at Palolem beach, South Goa. From this place we managed to travel to other decided places. We had Pre booked our stay for 26th March 2021 to 29th March 2021 in Palolem at Coconut Groove resort. They have only Non AC rooms and No AC rooms, facility of cooler was there but not in every room. That costed us 800 per night. 3 people can easily accommodate in that room. Rooms were average and very basic. In winters this is really affordable option but for summer big NO. We stayed here for a night only reason being Goa got really humid and hot in March end so we had to move to another place which has AC.
We found (Presley's, Beach front cottages, Palolem beach.) It offered great beach view.. 3 to 4 people can easily manage in one room. With no extra charges for mattresses. That was steal deal. This place has beach front dining area as well. But food is very costly and quantity served was ideally enough for one person and hardly 2 people would have share the food. For the price this is decent option.
When you are in goa don't miss Parasailing and other adventures. Rest detailed information is in the video above. Now let's have a look at Rs. 5000 breakdown.
