You're more than welcome to come and visit us! - Children Walking Tall http://www.ChildrenWalkingTall.com I think a few people on here have visited and I hope they've enjoyed it, or it has at least been an eye opener for them....

Have at look at some of the northern beaches at Beaches.

hi irish colleen yes flying out on 21/11 from gatwick with thomas cook, can.t wait wishing our lives away with exitment, hope to see you there we have booked 1 wk at cologna de braganza but have another 2wks after that 22 nights in all.

making this a temporary sticky as it is useful for Goa newbies. And of course, if you have any trips to recommend, feel free to add

hi everyone

Went to India two months ago for my friend's wedding in Goa, beautiful beaches there......Also, went to The Taj Mahal , Wildlife sanctuaries, samosa stands...... impressive!

hiya goangirl,will hold you to that,along with a late one at anans???

Oh of course!! Can't wait!!

hi all if any of you fancy a train ride away then have a look at this web site http://murudeshwar.org/ the place looks really wonderful booked to go for a few days in jan after being told about it theres a train everyday that runs from margoa at around 3oclock and its just a 3hr trip well worth a few days out taking a look at other parts of india

We spent a day there a few years ago when we were stopping in Gokarna and yes it is definitely worth a visit, the temple is amazing.
Another place worth going to in that area is Jog Falls, one of the highest waterfalls in India.

Hi ive been doing alot of surfing and found 2 morning trains The first is the train 6335 which runs on fridays and leaves margoa @09.00 and gets you at murudeshwar @11.50
and the train 6337 leaves margoa @ 09.10 and gets you to bhatkal which is 18kms away from murudeshwar and arrives @ 12.12 runs on mondays and saturdays and on returning the 2620 train leaves murudeshwar @ 16.00 and arrives margoa 19.15 which runs all days so if needed then it could be a nice little day out instead of a few days

Anyway my intinerary is colva 1 night (as its close to margoa ) 2nights murudeshwar 2nights gokarna and 2nights karwar Ive never been to Karwar so if anybody can give a little info on the place it would be most wellcome
or inbetween murudeshwar and karwar there is a place worth visiting id love to know
anyway thanks for your comments

Hi Celcat

Hi All

Anybody tried to contact DaytripperGoa via email lately? I have sent 3 emails over the last month without replies.

Hope they are still active as I fancied a trip they did.

Thanks
