Farm stay cum nature camp
by Uma reddy on Sep 04, 2010 03:07 PM

I read the article about topslip . Very true.the drive to the place itself was so pleasant and not to forget the serene farm stay that we had an opportunity to experience. We had reached topslip and then felt almost unlucky when all their accomodations were booked. It was then that we heard about a place called "the dense" .Honestly we dint expect much at a country side called sethumadai a 15 mts drive from topslip.
We were a group of 4, 2 couples we never expected such a gorgeous view of the western ghats. There are just 2 exclusive a/c cottages well furnished and above all with neat bathrooms. We dint expect to meet such a pleasant host who was just a phone call away.
At twilight, we could not expected anything better..calm and quiet and it seemed like a private haven.
Simple home cooked food was served but we just dint miss anything ...
We are looking to go back again and again just to experience the peace and calm that this place has to offer ..

Goa and rain
by abboral boral on Jul 08, 2009 11:08 AM

I was in Goa for 3 years and I can say that I used to enjoy mansoon in Goa .It is mesmarising Goa during rainy season as entire hilly region of Goa looks green and green and with continious rain pouring in Goa ,it is really enjoyable sitting in a hotel lobby or some village house (village people rent house for 2 / 3 days in Goa ) having one glass of UDAK or Fenny and fish curry rice with mackral fish fry

The smell of that goan cuisine still moving arround my nostril and senses .So majestic and alcoholic Goa during rainy day and riding by bus or car from Panaji to Kakoda,Sarvadem,madgao,cortalim ,salcete,vasco ,paolem sea beach is simply unforgetable and last but not the majestic wild life in Goa
I think people visit goa to see only temple ,sea beach ,church ,good food ,fenny but real Goa lies in wild life ,There are 4 to 5 wild life sanctuaries which I am sure if you spend a night will never be forgotten
1.Cotigao wild Sanc,86 sq km , canacona(south goa--from margao 30 km towards paolem sae beach,one of the lovely beach in GOA _)--Asstt conservator of forest ,panaji 0832-2229701 ,or ccf 0832-2224747--for booking of cottage Rs 400 to 500
