Snow Park in Baga Goa

Snow in Goa!!!

Yes, though Goa is famous for its beaches, nature, night life and casinos, but there is also a Snow Park for the entertainment and fun, for the whole family, friends, and with kids specially. It is well placed between famous Baga beach and Calangute beach, and someone can easily reach by Activa/bike or even by walk, if you are nearby. 

Address: Titos Lane, 2, Calangute - Baga Rd, Baga, Goa 403516

We visited this recently in November afternoon. It is a nice and cool place to beat the outside heat. When we visited the place, the queue was moderate and within no time we were inside the snow theme park. Once entered, it was a nice chilling experience. There are various activities like play with real snow in -5 degree C temperature, Ice Igloos, Snow Men, Slide on ice, Sledging car, Snow dancing with DJ and Laser lighting and thunder effect. 

We liked snow slide, artificial snowfall at regular intervals, and colorful Igloo mainly. The place was chilling and may be difficult to withstand the cold for long period. Make sure to tighten the shoes properly, specially for kids. Goa's only ice bar where you can get drinks in real ice glasses. Overall it is a nice place to enjoy with family and kids. If someone has never been to Snow park, it would be great experience. 

We captured lots of selfies and pics here.

Trip to North Goa

Quote of the Post- "Let's Go A" - Quote about trip to Goa - Sachin Kumar Gupta

Yo!!!!!!!!!!! Go went gone to Goa ....

Year 2012, and here we are again back to Goa... Another memorable trip with the Amdocs Team... Goa express at 4:20 PM again but with couple of new add-ons and special one "Meenal"... With all fun, masti and a quick nap, we said a Good Morning to Goa at 5:30 AM. Then it was quick one hour trip to Delta Residency near Calangute Beach, with all asleep during the journey... Zzz. Once at Delta, we were free birds to explore the beauty of Goa on bikes.

Day 1: North Goa - Calangute Beach, Dolphin Trip, An eve at Bagha Beach

A rushed breakfast and we were on our Aviator off to Calangute Beach. *** Best way to enjoy and roam around the Goa "To rent bike or scooty and just take the wheel wherever you want to". *** It was a small amount of INR 250 as rent per day with costly affair of PETROL, i.e. INR 80 per litre.

Dolphin Trip from Calangute Beach:
We started our day with the Calangute beach and booked Dolphin trip on a speedy boat. *** You need to bargain for the charges for Dolphin trip. It's usually INR 1200 per boat for 6 persons. 200 INR per person. ***

Sun was up for the day and the rays were swimming in the silent ocean. It was then, we stole a glance of a beautiful Dolphin. *** If you want to be fortunate of catching a sight of quite a few of them, go early in the morning. *** At one point we saw the huge Aguada fort touching the sea-shore, and the clean Candolim as well as Palolem beach curves. Our boat trip way back to Calangute was fast, furious and fun. We enjoyed it with the Ocean Waves as they welcomed us with smooth sprinkles. Now was the time to relax, refresh and enjoy at the Calangute beach; which we captured randomly. Many facilities for water sports and para gliding are available here. Amit Ladge, Piyush, Brahmanand and their better halves were with us. After the joyful half part of the day, we went back to hotel to refresh and late-lunch. 

An eve at Calangute Beach:

As per our schedule timings, during the eve, some of us met at the Calangute beach again, and just enjoyed sunset, DJ, and snacks. The streets of Calangute were packed with shops offering a wide range of food, goods, souvenirs, metal crafts, clothes and jewelry, not just from Goa, but from other parts of the country as well. As the clocks touch 9, music going down slow in this area, we proceeded to Bagha beach post Pizza. 

Night music and entertainment at Baga Beach:

Bagha Beach is an extension to Calangute beach with clean white sand. The beach also has many beach shacks and beach huts that sell delicious Goan food and thirst-quenching Feni (local wine of Goa). Throughout the night music (approx till 2 a.m.) and live bands that create a carnival like ambience simply makes the place rock and fun. We enjoyed here till 1:30 a.m. where karaoke songs were also being sung. After a joyful day, we went back to our hotel, as we don't wanna miss next day sunrise at Calangute.

Next Day visit to Goa: Sunrise at Calangute Beach, St. Alex Church, Dona Paula - Panaji, Miramar Beach - Panaji, Paradise Cruise, Saturday Night Market
