Sun-kissed beaches, a bustling nightlife, and Portuguese architecture are frequently associated with Goa. Beyond its coastal charm, though, is a wealth of rural beauty and cultural diversity just waiting to be discovered. You may explore the customs, heritage, and allure of Goa's rural areas by taking a village trip with Soul Travelling, which provides a close-up look at Goan village life. Let's explore these three distinct trails: 2 Faces of Goa (Rachol and Shiroda), Saligao Passai, and Sankhli - A Rustic Village Experience.
North Goa's charming village of Saligao is frequently eclipsed by its more active neighbors. Nonetheless, Soul Travelling's Saligao Passai route reveals this tranquil area's undiscovered beauties. On this village tour, you will see typical Goan houses with their unique architecture, beautiful foliage, and local chapels that are a reminder of the country's colonial heritage as you meander down small, twisting alleyways.
Enter Sankhli (Sanquelim), a community that embodies the rustic beauty of rural Goa to the fullest. With this rural tour, you may take a step back in time and discover the peace and simplicity of traditional Goan village life. Sankhli has a lot to offer in terms of experiences, from picturesque scenery to historic temples.
The 2 Faces of Goa route investigates the complementing and contrasting elements of Rachol and Shiroda, two unique communities. This village trip highlights the distinctive characteristics of each hamlet, offering a fuller knowledge of Goa's diverse cultural landscape.
Rachol: A Blend of History and Religion
History buffs will find paradise in Rachol because of its historical significance. The Rachol Fort, which provides a window into Goa's colonial past, and the Rachol Seminary, one of the biggest and oldest seminaries in Asia, are located in the settlement.
Shiroda: A Village with Vibrant Traditions
Shiroda, on the other hand, is known for its vibrant traditions and festivals. The village is a cultural hub, with local fairs and traditional performances that offer a lively contrast to Rachol’s historical aura.
