  • North Goa 141
    © Lonely Planet Publications 141 North Goa Packaged neatly between the Terekhol and Mandovi Rivers, North Goa encompasses most of what many folks come to Goa seeking: the relentless action of Calangute and Baga, the kooky hippie vibe of Arambol and Anjuna, the remnants of the trance-party scene at Vagator, the thick charas (cannabis or hashish) smoke at Chapora, the laid-back beach paradises of Aswem and Mandrem, the five-star havens at Candolim and Sinquerim, and the hideaway luxury boltholes interspersed neatly throughout, many in gorgeously atmospheric heritage homes. It was not, however, always this way. Until the 1960s Calangute, nowadays Goa’s most raucous package resort, was the watering hole of the Portuguese elite, who arrived in May for their annual mudança (movement), to ‘take the air’ along the sedate seaside promenade. Aside from Calangute, the northern coastal strip remained a simple string of fishing villages, bounded to the south by the Portuguese Fort Aguada, and to the north by Terekhol Fort. Towards the end of the ’60s came the heady hippie days of naked revellers, drugs and ‘flower NORTH GOA power’; next came the all-night trance parties of the ’80s and ’90s, and, simultaneously, the package-holiday hordes. Today, the key to enjoying North Goa lies in knowing exactly what you’re after. If you’re here for spiritually slanted tranquillity, don’t go to Baga on a Friday night, more Ibiza than Inner Peace. Similarly, if you’re here to live it up a little, don’t roll up at Mandrem, where the liveliest thing you’ll find is a high-energy ashtanga yoga session.
