Beyond the ordinary beaches and parties, lies the heart and soul of Goa, which for years I have been exploring and relishing in. For decades, Goa has attracted a certain type of crowd - the party people, foreigners escaping their country's harsh winters, and adventure lovers. It's no surprise that so much beauty has already been tarnished. I too found it hard to find places that I loved, but after years of exploring, I am thrilled to be sharing my off-beat experiences that made me know the real goa - one that is for nature lovers and conscious travelers, looking for the authentic Goa experience. My top 4 places to experience the real Goa + the best of stays ~ Netravali: Disconnect & Rejuvenate ~ Cabo de Rama: Witness the Ruins ~ Betul: Seaside Tranquility ~ Divar Island & beyond: Goa's Timeless Heritage
