                     All about my experience in travelling... 
Trip to GOA with Someone special 
 
Some trips we go to see the places, some trips we go to feel the adventure, some trips we go to relax etc 
etc... So every trip have some expectations, some plan, some goals in mind...But this was really a great 
experience for us where we went trip without any plan...Yes, seriously no plan as such...We have seen 
GOA just 8 months back, and we have seen almost all places and even same hotel we are staying...So 
nothing planned as such...And that too with the special person we are going with, planning never works. 
Mode of travel: Train between Bangalore to Vasco 
                 We purposeful choose train for 2 reasons...First to enjoy the journey with lots of talks and 
plays. Second to see Doodh Sagar waterfalls. 
Stay: Godwin Hotel at calangute beach                     
What to wear: Yes for Goa your dress code is very much important... Choose knee level or at least three 
fourth so that you can walk in beaches comfortably. I think shopping for dresses in Goa itself is best than 
in Surat, cost wise and also you get more varieties. Carry a good sun screen lotion (If not you skin tone 
will change badly). Again mainly buy a nice hat as soon as you reach there to avoid tanning on your face. 
we crossed the CASTLE ROCK station. From this station onwards we get lot of tunnels, nice greenery all 
the way. And also we are just ~30 min away from Doodh Sagar falls. Few Sicked to windows and few at 
stairs enjoying the scenic view and also eagerly waiting for Falls. Next station was dhoodh sagar and just 
in 5 min, Finally Dhoodh sagar water falls came... Little disappointed as water was less and it was very 
magnificent considering the height of falls...Train goes pretty fast and we already ready with our cams 
and able to capture it. 
After falls, had small nap and we finally came to GOA Vasco station. 
         The plan was to take the bikes from this point and use for rest of the journey. But our bad luck, all 
bikes got over. Then we wanted to try the bus from Vasco to panji and from there bikes... Found the bus 
stop...But again it was too long queue and very less buses at that time...Again bad luck...It was very hot 
and we finally decided to take a TT directly to our hotel. Finally got TT for Rs.1600 where all can sit. The 
hotel is around 45KM distance. Anyway, We finally reached the hotel.
