Sight Seeing
Tours:-
As most of you must be aware Goa has attained a
place of pride on the International Tourist Circuit. Goa is one of India’s most
laid-back yet sophisticated and exciting destinations. Goa offers miles and
miles of sunny beaches, well preserved churches, temples and forts, lush green
forests, abundant wild life, spectacular pageantry, colourful festivals, warm
and gracious people, superb cuisine. There is so much to see - and you feel
there’s too little time. A visit to Goa
is incomplete without North & South Goa sightseeing and river cruise on
River Mandovi. Over the years we have observed that the campers find it
difficult to go for sight-seeing & river cruise as Dec - Jan is the peak
season and getting tour booking is difficult. Moreover 2 days are required as
North & South Goa tours are conducted separately. Needless to say that the
price paid for these tours is also high. Keeping in mind requirement of our
campers and in association with Goa Tourism Development Corporation ( A Govt.
of Goa Undertaking) we have worked a combine North & South Goa tour, the
cost of which has been included in the fees paid whereas participants will have
to pay for the River Cruise.
Goa Darshan (North and South combine) Dep.:8.30 AM - Arr. 6.30 PM
South: Covers world heritage Old Goa churches Basilica
of Bom Jesus,Se Cathedral, temples Shree Mangesh at Mangeshi and Shri
Shantadurga at Kavle. Beaches of Vagator,
Calangute and Aguada Fort. Participants will have to carry their pack lunch from the base camp.
River Cruise Dep. 6.00 PM
- 1 hour -
At sunset on board of Cruiser Santa Monica in the
waters of Mandovi river along the beautiful promenade of Panaji leading into
Arabian sea at Miramar
beach. Fun and merriment await to
refresh you in the form of music and dance on the decks of the luxury cruiser.
Let your hair down and step to the mesmerizing tunes of Goan culture. Enjoy
