Calangute Village Walk – Goa’s Real Delight


Goa’s beauty lies in its villages. Amazing scenery coupled with graceful history and cultures, Goa’s villages allure a notable number of tourists. Walk through a Goa village to comprehend true essence of this natural paradise. Here in this blog, I’m depicting the Calangute Village Walk – one of Goa’s popular walks, which takes you to amazing Goa attractions and gives the real pleasure of a holiday. All you need to carry is a sun-hat, digi-camera, a packed lunch and a local tourist guide. 

The walk begins mainly at St Alex Church in Calangute’s Umta Vaddo. Move ahead and explore hillock and greenery of the foothills. The further walk takes you to a natural freshwater spring known as Mottant. Moreover, a number of beautiful churches, scenic paddy field, low-roofed houses and lovely water bodies will come to your way. During monsoon, the pleasure of this walk doubles. 

Nestled in Bardez Taluka in North Goa, Calangute Village is 20 mins away from the market town of Mapusa. It has easy connectivity to the capital city Panaji as well. This gorgeous village is a traveler’s paradise, offering scenic sea-shore and several colonial attractions to explore. Walking time is around 40-50 minutes, or depends upon your own pace. Walk can be best enjoyed well before sun-set. To add more delights, hire a local tourist guide. He/she will charge around INR 150 and can guide between 10 and 15 people at a time.
While visiting Manali, it’s better to book your accommodation and other travel facilities like Manali Hotels well in advance. Deals for manali packages and manali hotels are available online. However, you can book a tour package to Manali which include all travel facilities, and hence ensure a comfy Manali honeymoon package.
