So I'm in the stages of planning my trip to Goa, specifically Anjuna. I've some mixed feelings on following through with my plan. On the one hand it is reportedly a notorious party district of... perhaps the world! Since the 60s hippies have been making Anjuna beach their place. It is notorious for its full moon parties which tend to be open-air and trance oriented (one of my favorite flavours of music), and the area's Portuguese influences.
The area is full of sights and attractions such as the infamous Wednesday Flea Market, the German Bakery, Paradisco (Goa's most famous night club), the white sand beaches. It is a great place to rent a motorcycle. It's a very common destination for Russian students on vacation. Alcohol is cheap. And other great facets make this a top destination on my list.
The down side is that the tourist season is typically from November to March (with some rain around December). We would be going in Monsoon season. We would get wet and there would be a lot less tourists, and parties wouldn't happen so frequently. So Mark isn't too keen on going. The rain deters him and I think he is aftaid that things will be closed down since it is not tourist season. If anything I think everything would be open and we would be in a better position to haggle.
The flight there would be about Rs.2500 and the flight to Delhi would be another Rs.2500. That is only if we book right away. The taxi from the airport to Anjuna is another Rs.750. Accomadations are cheap and can be about Rs.250 per night. Reminder :Add this up later.
