Hello, party-goers !!!
I am Satish from Hyderabad, willing to share my absolute blast experience of Groovy Goa Getaway. A jazzy journey to India’s hottest Party Paradise. My Goan adventure was a thrilling roller coaster, with everything from sun-kissed beaches to all-night raves.
I always wanted to take a friend’s group trip to Goa, and now the opportunity had come. We took off for Goa from Hyderabad in a plane, our hearts racing with anticipation. The plane was filled with our laughter and chit-chat as we talked about our travel arrangements. Our journey had been well planned, and we had allocated 40,000 rupees for the duration of the trip to make the most of our time in this stunning location.
After landing in Goa, we took a cab and headed towards our home for the next few days Sunrise Beach Resort, located near the famous Calangute Beach. When it comes to the weather, our journey had its share of surprises. We were caught in a pleasant rain shower one moment and then enjoying the warm Goan sun the next day.
Palolem Beach in South Goa
One highlight of our journey was the road trip to Palolem Beach in South Goa, offering stunning views of nature and glimpses of wildlife. Don’t miss Cabo de Rama cliff point for breathtaking views of the Arabian Sea.
Basilica of Bom Jesus Church
Goa is known for more than just its beaches; it also has a vibrant history and culture. We made sure to see the majestic church, the Basilica of Bom Jesus, which has a rich past. We were in awe of the architecture and the calm atmosphere. The Basilica of Bom Jesus in Goa is a well-known and historic church that houses St. Francis Xavier’s mortal remains. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site as well as a major religious and architectural icon in the region.
Chapora Fort in Timeless Beauty in North Goa
Chapora Fort originally came to public attention in the film Dil Chahta Hai. This old fort in North Goa offers stunning views of the nearby Vagator beach and offers 360-degree vistas of the Arabian Sea. The fort is positioned on top of a hillside with slopes on all sides, and though it is nearly in ruins now, tourists may still stand where Bollywood stars previously stood.
Hidden Gems in Goa: Butterfly Beach and Betalbatim Beach
I had some surprises in mind for my buddies as well. Butterfly Beach in South Goa and Betalbatim Beach in North Goa are locations of peace and beauty that most tourists overlook. You’ll adore the peace of these locations.
As we said goodbye to our amazing journey, I offered my friends a heartfelt piece of advice: “Remember, life is precious, so enjoy every moment while it lasts. Travel as much as you can; the world is waiting to be explored.”
Under the sunset of Goa’s beautiful beaches, my friends and I cherished our memories, promising to have exciting experiences on a Rs. 40,000 budget and make priceless memories.

While touring all the magnificent sights, you can take pleasure in the soothing sea breeze. Yes, there may occasionally be a little rain, but trust me, it’s entirely worth it.
