Ravi Santhalia | Goa Trip

 My name is Ravi Santhalia and I began travelling almost ten years ago. I started writing blogs simply to share my travel experiences with the hope to inspire people to start travelling too. As a traveler I love travel in India because…I have learned to appreciate the simple things in life and it is a land of a billion smiles. Only in India.


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.

My name is Ravi Santhalia and I began travelling almost ten years ago. I started writing blogs simply to share my travel experiences with the hope to inspire people to start travelling too. I get to see physical evidence that God is omnipresent and in every form; be it a stone, a tree, a cow, a person possessed by spirits, the small shrine in the middle of crossroads or even autorickshaw meter! I love to travel in india because here it’s a celebration always. It’s full of colour and diversity. It’s like a mountain valley in spring when the land explodes with life in myriads of hues and colours. The beauty of India lies in the spontaneous, un-manicured experiences you get while travelling. Visiting the beautiful Pink city Jaipur The regal cuisine, unrivaled architecture, and raw natural beauty of the Rajasthan countryside would be enough to make Jaipur into a world class destination. Yet, there is so much more to this city. Jaipur is packed with spellbinding festivals, r

I am Ravi Santhalia and i love to travel in india because I have learned to appreciate the simple things in life.The beauty of India lies in the spontaneous, un-manicured experiences you get while travelling. The western Indian state of Gujarat is one of the subcontinent’s best-kept secrets. Bordered by Rajasthan to its northeast and Maharashtra and the metropolis of Mumbai to the south, Gujarat is often overlooked as a tourist destination, even by the keenest of Indophiles. The Best Places To Visit In Gujarat 1 The Rann of Kutch The most celebrated place to visit in Gujarat, the Rann of Kutch is located between the Great Thar Desert and the Arabian Sea. Composed of salt and sand, the desert has a luminescent quality that most other deserts don’t – check it out on full moon nights, when the sand seems to sparkle like a diamond. Visiting the desert on full moon nights has become a popular thing to do in Gujarat, since cultural programmes are held during the tourist season. Siberian fla

Story of solo traveler- Ravi Santhalia

The Jain temple at Ranakpur is the best place for a traveller to visit as it is capable to make you feel in another world. This temple was built in the 15th century having 1400 pillars which were hand-carved with different icons having different and unique patterns. After visiting this place Ravi Santhalia felt so heavenly. Please Temple took almost 55 years to complete with the hard work and craftsmanship of craftsmen. After visiting that place the first thingdone by Ravi Santhalia was to click various pictures as he wants to keep that memory with him throughout his life. It is having an amazing view as you will be able to feel the beauty of the lush Jungle through the windows of the temple. You will also be able to experience glimpses of the family of monkeys that roams here and there in and outside the temple. One thing you also kept in mind is that guides are not allowed in the temple so you must have sufficient knowledge regarding the place so that you will be able to experience
