Go GOA!!!!


1500+ kms on Bike :-)... Our GOA trip...

Started from Bangalore at 5PM... Fist halt at Hubli.. Searched for the bus stand at 2AM as usual, for a stay.. ;).. We are forced to park our bikes at Bus stand pay parking... Stayed at a nearby lodge, had a good sleep till 8..

Next day morning, we had breakfast and left Hubli at arouund 11AM... There are 2 routes to Goa from Hubli... One route is Hubli-Karwar-Goa (90kms extra)... another is Dharwad-Ramnagara-Goa... Never follow the sign boards... head straight to Kittur, towards Belgaum... From Kittur, take NH 60A... Take a left towards Bidi..., then Ramnagara..., Please carry enough water as you will never get a drop of water on the way... :( Reached Panji, by 3PM.. Had a nice bath at Sea and took a room at Panji.. Anybody interested in DJ inside a ship can pay Rs:150/- :).... Calangute is the best beach.. and it is 15kms from Panji....



Next day morning we went to Calangute beach and had a nice time with water sports and in sea... We paid 500/- per head for all the 5 rides there... Paragliding was awesome..., that too 1.5kms offshore :-).... You can enjoy Banana ride also.., in which they will drop you at about 0.5kms in sea from the shore... (for those who donno swimming... it is too good as they will provide life jackets :-))...



For drunkards..., FENY and any other drinks are very cheap and you can have it in beach.... Dont forget to enoy the sunset....


Started back from Goa on the 2nd day evening and had a halt at Karwar.... Next morning we headed to Gokarnam, visited the famous Siva temple there and continued our journey back to Bangalore through Honnavar-Jog falls-Shimoga (we had a narrow escape at Shimoga from hindu-muslim riots, with a broken tail lamp of the great Fiero... :( ) and reached at 1AM... This is one of the best trips we had on bike... :)
