Here's a throwback to the last best trip with the gang in 2020. Our gang separated in 2019 and most of them got scattered towards North India. A year down the line all of us decided to meet up in Goa for a small reunion of sorts.
Goa is a popular tourist destination in India, The parties are insane here and the beaches are just heaven.
I almost missed my train to Goa because prior to that I was caught up with work in Manipal. It was an overnight journey from Mangalore to Goa and once we arrived we had to wait a while for the rest of our friends train to arrive. Madgaon Junction is one of the two main Railway Stations in Goa.
Once our friends arrived we rented a car which we got at really good price to be honest and we were off to Keshai Cottges in Assagao North Goa which we rented out almost a month back in advance and OMG this property is just too damn beautiful to chill out.

You know the best part about being a Food Blogger is getting invited to fancy places to review their food. 70% of the food in these 4 Days were from invites I got.
Day 1 we had Lunch at The Lazy Goose, This place is one of the finest restaurants in Goa which is situated right on The banks of Nerul River.
The ambience here is phenomenal you'll definitely fall in love with this place, They also have live music which is a major plus point to A wonderful place like this.

Post lunch we went to Vagator Beach to just have a good time. This beach is quite famous for it's wild Rave parties that go on till 3 AM. Here's just a small glimpse of the sunset from this beach.
We also made a quick stop to a Liquor Shop to pick up some good drinks for the night, Few bottles of beer, Rum, Whiskey & Gin to get the party going.
P.S in Goa Liquor is dirt cheap compared to other places in India. Hence the extra Booze Shopping LOL.
On our way to the liquor shop we found this food cart somewhere along the road selling bebinca which is a traditional layered cake. Well I knew I had to get one and OMG it was simply amazing.
Day 2 started with a nice cold bottle of Corona Extra and a nice walk in the morning sun around the property. Half of my friends were piss drunk from last night so I had a good chance to explore the area.
On Day 2 we had Brunch at Baba Au Rhum. This places tops the list of Best Breakfast places to go to in Goa. The space itself has a lively upbeat energy that is complemented both by the guests as well as by the peppy in-house music.

Goa is also a place where you can find a lot of the good stuff (If You Know What I Mean) So post breakfast we went down Tito's Lane to get some shopping done and that's where I saw this shop dedicated for selling Pipes, Bongs, Herb Grinders etc LOL I just fell in love with this shop.
Post shopping we had Lunch at Toro Toro and the place is hands down one of the quirkiest bars i've ever been to. This place is designed to look like a caravan and contains all the right spirits.

Day 3 started with me having more beer in the morning as usual followed by fun at the beach trying out water sports, it was so damn fun I have lots of videos of the various water sport activities we've tried but I haven't gotten around to using 3Speak yet because I currently don't have a WIFI connection to upload large files.
We got to try the Banana Boat, Jet Skis, Para Sailing and even Scuba Diving. I also have a video of me being thrown off on one of the rides because I didn't have a tight grip and man that was just epic and the guys had a great laugh.
LOL one of our friends couldn't make the trip so for the final group picture before leaving Goa we held a picture of her ID card Haha

I was upset that I had to leave but I was even more excited planning where i'd be travelling next but little did I now that a Lockdown was going to be issued across India for 6 months on the month end.
The next 6 months turned out to be quite a shit show and I haven't been able to travel since then.
This was my first ever post in which all the images were taken on a phone (Redmi Note 5 Pro) and a GoPro Hero 7. I prefer sticking to uploading from my DSLR only but most of my memorable experiences were shot on the phone. All of the images were further processed using Adobe Lightroom Mobile.
Hope you guys enjoyed reading this and saved up some of the great locations I visited in Goa.
