Divar islandDivar Island lies on the Mandovi River in Goa and is home to some fascinating people and cultures. Not many tourists find their way here, but when they do, it’s usually around the time three major festivals take place across the four small divisions of Divar. Two of the popular festivals are Bonderam and Potekar. Bonderam is a carnival that takes place every fourth Saturday of August, when each part of the village takes out their floats for the parade. Potekar, like Halloween, is celebrated three days before Lent and is a spectacle where locals roam around wearing handmade masks and bells!Heart shaped lakeThis lake is located in chicolna near airport. Not so many visitors stop here but its a must visit place.Its an isolated sea shore but a very beautiful point. The heart shaped lake appears good when full of water which would generally be around monsoons. The cliff over it and the blue seas across are excellent views.Malvan Water SportsMalvan , a small town located in Sindhudurg district has something for all. It is 102km from Goa but worth visiting. Very peaceful. Perfect adventure getaway. This place has something cool for every age group. This place is specially known for its water sports. Scuba diving , jet-ski , bumper ride , banana ride , parasailing , fishing and speed boat. Everything here is safe and affordable.Anjuna Flea Market

The Anjuna Flea market on Wednesday is the queen of hippie flea markets.
The Anjuna Flea market’s vendors now are a nice mix between hippie expats and fun Indian stalls. The expats/foreigners usually sell handmade clothing, jewelry, or do something for you like piercings and dreadlocks.
Worth a visit for the colors and sights and smells.Be prepared to bargain hard as they start with very high prices.If you are willing to visit Goa , try to divide your days for North Goa and South Goa. These two sides are totally different. North Goa gives you party feels whereas South Goa gives you traditional vibes. Other than that if you are looking for peaceful beaches go for Butterfly beach and cola beach. There are also few private beaches you can go for. Traditional street food is quite popular. You should definitely buy cashew nuts from local vendors.I hope this helps you with your next trip to Goa!!
