In the heart of Goa, stillness speaks

Franky Gracias

NOT THE REAL GOA

The party crowd is familiar with a noisy Goa, but guess what—there is a Goa where silence will speak to your soul.

THIS IS REAL

And that silence comes at no cost. But the question is: are you willing to take the trouble of venturing deep?

BEFRIEND TIME

In the interiors of Goa, time will be your friend and the changing tide has valuable lessons to teach.

HEAR NATURE'S TUNES

Forget the deadlines, and for some time open your ears to the rustling of the leaves and the whispers of the swaying palms.

BE WITH YOURSELF

And if you can spend quality time with yourself, you will allow harmony in your life, at least for a short time.

BOOK PEACE

All the attributes like silence and solitude are linked to Goan villages. The next time you are here, book one homestay in a far corner and live there to experience it for yourself.

OPEN YOUR MIND

And, once again, here is the message: please do not come with any pre-conceived notions, especially the ones created by social media mongers for petty gains.
