Trip into India’s sultry south with a Portuguese-tinged past and rich Goan culture. Gallivant around colourful townhouses and Hindu temples in Old Goa, step back in time on fort walks and UNESCO church crawls, or pop into Panaji for a private guided tour of the Rembrandt of the East. Set off to spice plantations, India’s most beautiful beaches and jungles where tumbling waterfalls beg to be explored. Cast lines with expert anglers in fishermen’s paradise, haggle for earthenware in must-see flea markets and bend into bona fide yoga. Former hippie crowds may have trailed off, but the tropical peace and love remain.
