Baga Beach!!! Leaving crowed Baga beach; we headed to wards Anjuna beach being just next to B aga beach; Anjuna Beach; is one the most popular beaches of Mapuza, which is nestled between the Arabian Sea and a small hillock. It overlooks the sea and thus gives a splendid look of the shoreline. The Beach is known for its soft white sands and shoreline dotted with exotic palm trees. A path from baga Beach to Anjuna Beach!! I like Anjuna beach because of its trance parties that take place on the shore. These parties usually take place on full moon nights as it adds to the magic of trance music. Getting to Anjuna Beach is not difficult as all forms of transport are available.. Rock a

Day 1: 10 April 2009 Friday had came after a long and enthusiastic wait. Morning at 5.30AM (an hour's delay as per the planned start time), I took off towards Goa.

I rode non-stop till Satara , a distance of 130 KMs . After 3 hours & travelling 260 KMS , I was in Kolapur . Having covered more han 50% of the distance in first 3 hours. Now I had all the time in the world to reach Mapusa . A lazy breakfast at Hotel near Nipani & then back on the saddles. From there onwards I made progress slowly as compared to initial leg. Another two hours after Crossing ghats, I was near Amboli by 10.30 AM. As I had plenty of time. I decided to spend some time in Amboli , which was not in the initial plan. I crossed a beautiful Ghat; that was the most wonderful drive till now. It was so amazing that the

Well I've lost count of the times I have been to Goa; but each time; I desire to unwind and let my hands down on my wheels, I know I'd end at this coastal paradise. Miles and miles of golden sun kissed beaches fringed by coconut palm trees lapped by the waves of the sea, it seems like Goa was created as a tiny image of Heaven on earth. Over the years I've known that the true experience of Goa can be enjoyed by spending the day lazing on the beach till the sun sets and frolicking through the night at open air beaches. I would have loved t
