Anjuna, Goa

Описание

About: Anjuna one of the Beaches of Goa (in India), north of Baga and Calangute, and close to the South of Vagator and Chapora. The nearest town is Mapusa a few kilometers to the east. How to Get There? (1) By Train - You have to get down at Thivim Railway Station (near Mapusa City). Then the cheapest is to take the local bus from Thivim Bus Stop to the Mapusa Bus Stand (go out of the train station, across the parking, and along the road, if you don't see the bus, ask around). Then once you reach the Mapusa Bus Stand, Just ask around where is the bus to Anjuna. It will cost you about Rs 15 to Rs.20 to get to Anjuna from Mapusa by local bus (sometimes crowded)... Or Rs 350 to Rs. Rs. 400 you should get an auto-rickshaw or a taxi. You can either hire yourself some transport or use the public transport, theres' lots of choices available. For taxis, motorbike taxis and autorickshaws you can nearly always find some available near the main cross roads (Starco Junction) and it's best to negotiate the price before you get in. By Bicycles - It is possible to hire bicycles, usually without gears and somewhat dangerous to ride given the traffic. By hire motorbikes - A great way to get around is to hire scooters or Motorbikes. On a daily basis which can range anywhere from ₨ 150 to ₨ 400, depending on what you hire. They may require a small deposit, but don't leave your passport, you can leave a photocopy if you are asked. Bikes are available easily, just ask the locals who own restaurants , and shacks. refrain from asking the locals who run road-side stalls or at flea markets. Also a good idea would be to ask the person at the reception at your hotel. If you're lucky, they can arrange one for you. If you do manage to get one please fill the tank to the fullest, as petrol pumps are far away from each other. Be aware that no one seems to wear helmets and the traffic can be busy especially in peek season, its not a good place to learn how to ride a scooter or motorbike. Also you should have an international drivers license to ride a bike. If you are going to go into Mapusa or Panjim find a helmet, the police will want a bribe (baksheesh) if you don't have one or an international license. The nearest petrol pump is Near Vagator, to get there head north at Starco junction until you hit the main T junction at Vagator, turn right and head for about 2 km (1.2 mile) just past where the road merges with the main road into Chapora, the petrol pump is on your left, join the queue of waiting bikes. Petrol is also available in one liter bottles at most of the stores around Anjuna, although the price would be roughly 20% higher than from the gas station. By Local Bus - These are very cheap and are a good way to get to other towns like Mapusa or Vagator but won't take you off the beaten track. By motorcyle taxi - These are a Goan specialty, simply pay the driver and he'll take you where you want to go, probably the cheapest form of public transport after local buses. Most short trips will be in the ₨. 150 to Rs. 200 range. You will find one at Starco Junction. By auto rickshaw - The usual indian autorickshaws are also available, cheaper than taxis more than motorbike taxis. Negotiate By taxi - The most expensive option but the best for getting further afield like the airport or if you want to visit Old Goa or the beaches in South Goa. To See? Anjuna beach is to the west of the village with lot of restaurants and bars. Not really the most beautiful beach you can see in Goa, and not a quiet place (beware of the incidental skydiver landing on the beach, watch out for that infuriated cow), it is still possible to have good times there. Anjuna Flea market happens on Wednesdays and runs from morning till dawn. Go early if you want to hunt for bargains, take a rest at noon and come back when it's not as h
