Goa Budget Vacation

Why not tell the World about it !
It's easy - all you have to do is click on these buttons :

The Hippie scene of the 80's and 90's has mostly moved on but there is still a Full Moon Party every month.
Goa has upgraded its tourism image and is solidly after more upmarket visitors.
There are now Holiday Inns and other chain hotels where you will get superb service and accomodation at much less than 1/2 European prices. Its still possible though to rent beach side cottages at low prices but these may not have European facilities - like indoor toilets,electricity or running water.
They may also be an interesting introduction to local wildlife ! But they ARE cheap ..

There is little in the World more relaxing than lying on a Goan beach near a beach bar reading your favourite book and listening to your favourite usic - and then wandering to the beach bar for a fish lunch or dinner.
Why not rent an apartment or studio ?
Be careful about buying an apartment or house in Goa though - the land laws are unusual and you may not actually be buying from the property owner !
It is essential to hire a reputable local lawyer (not one recommended by the estate agent ..)
Anyway you can always go Back - can't you ?
Do figure out the running costs including airfares if you decide to purchase a holiday home or retiirement home in Goa

You may well see elephants at work or in a temple, monks walking around or vendors on the beaches (they can get a bit tiresome)

I suggest taking taxis rather than renting a car - Goa Police are notorious for 'fining' tourists in rented cars - and NEVER do drugs in Goa or you will end up in Jail .
