All these shrines feature a unique architectural style that speaks much about those times' heritage and craftsmanship.

    Visit the grand house - Menezes Braganza house, in Chandor. This house also has a library with 5,000 leather-bound books personally collected by Luis de Menezes Braganza (1878-1938), a reputed journalist well-known for playing a pivotal role in Goa's independence movement.

    Day-4: The Aldona Experience

    Is Aldona the most beautiful village in the world? How often do you hear the whole village saying that? Wherever you go in the village and whoever you spoke to – you would hear only one thing – It is the most beautiful village in the world. Asking them how many villages have you been to is not a valid question. They are simply in love with their village!

    There are some very interesting stories that we uncover in this trail - one of how a celebrated educationist was honored with a statue in the center of the village square, The Sao Tome church built in 1596 CE on a plateau next to Mapusa river, The Bridges of Aldona and the Corjuem Fort. A visit to a prominent house is the village is also a part of the trail

Travel Tips

October-February: The wards are well-suited for seaborne trips and recreation as they are favorable in warm sunny weather and cool climate. It is a holiday time and as such people are going to be more around and the prices will also be higher.

March-May: Warm and humid though beaches are less crowded as are restaurants and goods cost lesser here. Ideal for those who love activities in water.

June-September: The monsoon season turns Goa into a greener looking place plus hotel deals are cheap here though there may be no water sports active at this time.

Money Matters: Always have cash as well as cards with you. Most of the time, you will see an ATM around, although some beach huts accept cash only.

Sustainable Goa: Don’t use plastic, do not harm sea animals, buy from local stores and food makers.

Best Places to Visit

North Goa: Sun, sand and sea, night life, and fun. Adventure seekers and the people with social network woes will find all of this perfect.

Candolim: Endless sandy beach, aqua activities, noisy shacks. Said to be suitable for those traveling with children, as well as for the lovers of active leisure.

Baga & Calangute: The most popular beaches, characterized by noisy entertainment, bars, and discos, water activities. Great for young crowds.

Anjuna: The swallow with the picturesque harbor and the sandy coastline by which it is bordered. Especially suitable for hippie types of tourists and those, who do not want to spend much on accommodation.

South Goa: Beautiful sand, longer stays in rooms, or villas, and less crowded places. Ideal for couples on their honeymoons and anyone who wants to relax.

Palolem: A quiet and peaceful bay, beautiful for a swim and having a tan. Provides a slower experience and combination with bohemian atmosphere.

Agonda: Clear water, picturesque sunset, and deserted beach with wellness activities, yoga. Nature adorning lovers and those who would love to take a natural treatment.

Colva: A friendly family beach, with waves just big enough for surfing, lot of water activities and cheap kiosks. Great for a relaxed getaway.
