Curated Group Lunches in Goa, for a wholesome family meal
Goan food is comfort on a plate. Those who have let themselves indulge in a delectable spread of seafood, rice, vegetarian Saraswat cuisine and dessert know the beauty of the nap that follows. You can take the Goan food experience a notch higher by having it in a Goan home or in a Kulaghar. A Kulaghar is generally a large plantation surrounding a village usually owned by the village or certain people living in it. You sit under the sky, surrounded by trees with the cold earth under you, enjoying hot Goan food made from fresh local ingredients. It doesn’t get any better, does it? Most Goan homes have also saved the traditional kitchenware made of bamboo, copper, earth or coconut shells that can further enrich your lunch in Goa on a group outing.
Village Explorations, you haven’t seen Goa if you haven’t seen its villages
There is a certain incomparable aesthetic around Goan villages. The narrow winding lanes, the exquisite Goan homes, the balcaos, the bustling markets and the rolling green fields all merge to tell you a story. The charm of Goan villages lies in the little things that can escape an unfamiliar eye. However, with a local guide to accompany you on your village exploration on a group outing in Goa, you have nothing to fear. You can explore the traditional Goan homes and how their architecture has changed over time, taste the traditional Goan food and walk through pretty markets.
Apart from that, there is history to unearth through ancient monuments in Goa, temples, churches, mosques, forts, bridges and so on – each adding a chapter to the story of Goa.
Some well-loved Goan villages are Aldona, Divar, Margao, Saligao, Old Goa, Assolna, Rachol, Aguada and Panjim. If you are interested in any, they are available on request as pre-made or customised tours just for you!
Nature Trails on Group Trips in Goa, to be one with nature
Goa’s natural beauty is no hidden secret. However, the state has many natural secrets of its own that not everyone is privy to. The Island of Chorao, the Caves of Rivona and the waterfalls of Sankhali are some locations with some surreal hidden secrets. A group outing in Goa will be so much more fun when you’re on a boat in the middle of the Mandovi, looking out for exotic Indian and migratory birds in Goa. Apart from that, you get to bask in Sankhali’s waterfalls, explore the secrets of Rivona with your favourite people and go fishing in Assolna if you like.
