Things to do in Goa, India: The Best Farms
The sandy coast of Goa is perfect for reclining by the sea. Nestle into a cushioned chair at a beach shack and savor a curry while you sip a Kingfisher beer, watching the sun slip lazily below the horizon. In Old Goa, the beautiful Basilica of Bom Jesus is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a fine example of baroque architecture. Visit during Christmastime to experience a fantastic religious and cultural mash-up of East and West.

We did the guided tour at Tanshikar spice farm followed by an incredibly delicious buffet style lunch which was included in the tour price. The female guide was very knowledgeable and presented all the informations in a very entertaining way. The farm is operating family owned in the 6th generation and is growing their products organically ever since. As a side business they even produce bio-degradatable plates and cutlery made from dryed betel-palm leafs. If you are in the area make sure you swing by this place and do the tour. You should let them know about your visit in beforehand though to give them a chance to prepare enough food for everyone.

Dudhsagar Plantation and Farmstayis an amazing little oasis to go to and escape the world for a few days. We turned up and got shown to our cottage. It's very basic, exactly as expected, with two comfortable single beds. The bathroom is outside but surrounded by a wall with about half of it covered by a roof. It's amazing to take a shower or brush your teeth with all the bird song all around you whilst you stare at the vegetation that is all around. There was a porch to sit on and read or just to soak up the atmosphere of this little bit of jungle that the owner has created. If you wanted to you could just completely chill out and read, meditate and listen to the world around you for the entire time you're there (if you're that way inclined). It is a very special place. Something to note is that they have several dogs. All are friendly but a couple are very friendly. Even the none dog lover in another couple couldn't help but fall for them. I wanted to take one of them with me. We had three nights on the plantation. The first afternoon we arrived we strolled up to their naturally cleaned swimming pool. It's bigger than expected and you can do some decent lengths if you want. There's a lovely area around the pool to chill out in and soak up some rays. What we needed immediately after the "what the hell" of Panjim. The second day we took the 7K nature walk from the plantation around. I found it a really interesting walk. We saw all sorts of wildlife including several troops of monkeys and eagles soaring above scaring the red kites as well as the odd really small human dwelling. We got a bit lost and it turnout to be a 9K walk but the locals in the area are so friendly. We spent the time waving and smiling at them whenever we went past their homesteads. At was one of those people who kindly put us back on track. There's another shorter walk around the edge of the plantation. We did that on the same day in the evening and saw an amazing sunset from the sunset point. The third day we took a tour to one of the large falls in the area. Ashok, the owner, organise this all for us, we just told him what we wanted to do and when and then sat back. The tour wasn't expensive and the guide was knowledgeable (and could walk faster than any man alive up difficult trails and in only flip flops). It was inexpensive and we paid Ashok at the end of our stay. The food is veggie and not vegan (I'm an omnivore so that was fine with me). It was good wholesome food with a variety of choices that I wouldn't normally choose so it was interesting (in a good way). I enjoyed it and was always full up. Also really loved the breakfast. If there was any comment on the food is that there could be a little bit more spice/heat in it (I think they go easy on westerners). It's served in a communal area. That might not be for some people but we enjoyed meeting the odd new person. It's still a very quiet area, there's an extremely chilled out vibe in the whole place all the time. You can grab a beer if you want but it's not a place you'll be able to drink loads and you won't want to. The other thing we did was do the guided walk that Ashok provided around the plantation explaining what he was growing. He's such a chilled out guy that it's a very relaxing but informative stroll. Finally we slept great. When I did wake up, as I always do, I loved just listening to the night time noises from the surrounding plantation. I've never stayed in a place like it. It's definitely very different from the norm. I definitely recommend it if you want a break and to do something different.
