๐ Bridge ๐๏ธ Ocean ๐จ Resort ๐๏ธ Beach โฐ๏ธ Cliff ๐ด TropicsGoa is studded with small immaculate villages where churches are lost in the middle of rice fields, the Ghats mountain range offers beautiful excursions in the jungle. With a hundred kilometers of beaches hemmed with coconut trees and bathed by the clear waters of the Arabian Sea, the state of Goa is a destination on its own during a trip to India. In the state of Goa, as in the rest of India, one can travel very well as a broke backpacker thanks to accommodations such as homestays and small hotels, where one can stay for a crust of bread. Transportation or food do not require big expenses either. The small budgets rub their hands! Comfortable addresses, such as large beachfront hotels, also exist in higher price ranges, but here again, nothing is completely inaccessible... why also mix accommodation to vary the pleasures of the trip? To get around Goa, buses are convenient because they are not slow and go everywhere. Otherwise, renting a scooter allows you to ride quietly around your hotel! The train is primarily for travelers who have time, but the railroad can be practical for long distances, such as reaching/coming from Delhi, Mumbai, etc...
