Goa Jungle Adventure

We are always looking for great activities going in Palolem and indeed the whole of Goa, so we can let you all know about them.
One such activity is 'Goa Jungle Adventure'.

French owner Emanuel runs day trip adventures around Goa which include water fall trekking, ridge trekking and canyoning. Just what you need if you feel lazing about on the beach has become too much for you! It is also great because it gets you out into the Goan jungle, and introduces you to the local wildlife and fauna. It really is an experience you shouldn't miss. For more information contact Emanuel through the Goa Jungle Adventure page on Palolem-Beach.com.

Fire Dancers, Visuals, Performers!

The Final Wave Season Closing Party in May 2009 in Goa was a BLAST. Now we're back to OPEN the season with a massive beach party in Palolem.

Silent Noise is launching its 3rd Season on the 7th of November at a totally revamped Neptune Point (Outdoor Ocean Front Venue).

Silent Noise has been tipped by the Guardian (UK) as one of the best Beach Parties in the world (http://bit.ly/2hs2Ju).

SILENT NOISE (http://www.silentnoise.in)
Question: How do you keep the party going and the people dancing all night long when there’s a sound ban after 10pm? Answer: headphones.

Welcome to Silent Noise, where wireless headsets allow those people that want to party to do so, while nobody else is disturbed. Here there are several hundred party goers rocking the night away, while around the corner folks aren’t even aware anything is going on. With 3 DJs playing on 3 channels - there's always something you will like!

India Travel

I thought you would enjoy reading some more of our articles about travelling in India. Palolem, is my all time favourite place in India, but I love travelling in India as a whole and have done a whole lot of it! Another one of my favourite places is Kerala. Often dubbed 'God´s own country' it has so much to offer and is a beautifully moving place to visit.

A MUST DO in Kerala is a cruise on a houseboat through the magical backwaters. I have written a personal account of my first such houseboat cruise and am happy to share it with you here. Enjoy and do send me any feedback if you spend some time in Kerala!

Agonda

We have had several emails commenting on the lack of information we have up about Agonda beach and we are working to get more accommodation information about Agonda soon. Agonda is located about 15 minutes away from Palolem in a rickshaw or taxi, it is a little less built up than Palolem and is well worth at least a day trip! Some people may prefer to stay in Agonda than Palolem, while others enjoy combining stays at both beaches...

We received a lovely email from a couple who stayed in Agonda this season. Here is what they had to say:
We are a Danish couple + 6o who stayed 5 days in Om Sai Agonda Beach Hut. It is extremely quiet and is a wonderful change from everything else if you want to rest in silence and go for long walks along a beautiful stretch of fantastic beach. Not so many dogs and not so many selling people. very, very beautiful place. For old as well as young, singles or couples. Go for it. Thank you, everybody in Om Sai Agonda Beach Huts.
Kirsten and Eric.

Look out for additions to our Agonda information soon!

How do I get from Goa airport to Palolem?

A frequent question we get asked is
How do I get from Goa International Airport to Palolem?

The easiest way to get from Goa Dabolim International Airport is to get a taxi. Otherwise you can get a public bus to Vasco, and then change for another bus to Margao and from there take a bus to Palolem.

How long is the trip and how much should one estimate paying?
Goa International Airport is a one and a half hours drive away from Palolem by taxi.
Expect to pay 1200 Rupees for a taxi from Goa airport to Palolem. The easiest thing to do is order one at the ‘Prepaid Taxi’ rank as soon as you arrive at the airport. That way you pay beforehand and will not have to deal with any bartering. If you want to bargain you go outside of the airport and find a taxi there.

Every Saturday and every Thursday night at Neptune's point in Palolem, Goa... SILENT NOISE!

Silent Noise is the answer for anyone looking for some good night life and a very good boogie while they are out in Palolem. Local authorities have become very strict about noise pollution in Palolem, Goa over the last few years and have imposed a ban on almost all music after 10pm at night. Silent Noise is the answer! Every one gets a pair of state of the art wireless headphones when they arrive at the party, they tune in to their chosen live DJ, and then you can keep the party going all night long, without disturbing any of the neighbours!

Entrance to Silent Noise usually costs 500 rupees, with a returnable deposit of 500 rupees for the headphones.

Wi-fi and Internet in Palolem, Goa !?

We recently received the following question from someone looking to go on holiday to Palolem:
Do you know anywhere in the area: hotels, cafes, huts etc that would enable me to use broadband wifi with a lap top?

And the answer is, yes we do!
Café Inn Coffee Shop has free Wifi!
Café Inn is a lovely coffee shop with air conditioned interior and a pretty garden at the back which is also home to possibly the best coffee in Palolem, they have a real Italian espresso machine.
You will find it just along from the bus stop (don't walk down towards the beach, but straight on from the bus stop).
