GOA INDIA


Guest

Recommended Posts

dec - jan, the season runs from late oct till march, but december is definitely the busiest time party-wise... Can get a bit dead after New Years nowadays. I'm no expert on the subject but little parties held away from the masses are still said to be going strong, finding one can be a bit of a pain in the backside if you don't know the right people, though.

I am no expert either, but the 5 seasons I've been there, there has been parties on x-mas eve, new years and the days inbetween.

 

Some seasons the parties go on until late mars, other seasons theres nothing after new years. Doesn't really matter to me though, as I have other hobbies in India, such as collecting the most sought-after sativa resin in the world. =)

 

¡Jai Shankar!

Beginner's guide to party-scene in Goa -Two small steps to oblivion-

 

1.) Get yourself a place to stay, in North Goa, preferably in Chapora/Vagator or maybe Anjuna/Arpora. Morjim and Arambol are cool places as well, a bit far away from the center of things, though. There are great beaches in southern talukas also, especially Palolem, but locating yourself there is not too convenient as far as the parties are concerned; The "scene" is in north.

 

2.) Once the night falls, do what everybody does and drift to Primrose Cafe, overlooking the big Vagator beach. Have a beer, roll a joint, enjoy the breeze. Get into a conversation with people. The changes are, if there's going to be a party somewhere, you'll hear about it this way. Or, if you don't feel talkative, just keep your eyes open: Lots of people heading off on their motorbikes is a pretty good sign of a party happening somewhere (unless of course the party takes place in Disco Valley right on the Vagator beach;)... just follow the suit. Besides Primrose, Nine Bar and Robert's are other classic early-evening hang-outs in Vagator. After the weekly market (on wednesdays), Shore Bar in Anjuna gets packed with party-people of all sizes and shapes, a bit too packed even. You'll hear about parties there also.

 

Again, gotta stress that these days, parties are anything but a sure thing outside the couple of weeks over xmas/New Years... Most likely they do happen but infrequently, and the organizers face some serious BS from police's behalf. Not to worry, though, as Goa is not just about parties, there's loads and loads more to it. Go there and see for yourself.

Bah, Paradiso de Anjuna or WTF it's called, is a club-like environment, meaning indoors... Somehow, they are the only place that has an official permission to keep playing amplified music after 10 p.m. in the whole of Anjuna... Gil played there last year, or so I've been told, but it really sucks as a venue.
