Panji is a city that is considered a real Indian pearl. Being not only the modern capital of Goa, but also just the beautiful famous resort of the country, every year there is just a huge number of tourists around the world.
The land without flooding is exactly what the city name is translated, because many are known that India, in general, is always distinguished by a large amount of precipitation and therefore, frequent floods. As for Panja, it is the climate here is a tropical monsoon, with hot summer and very warm in winter. The monsoon period lasts here from July to September, and differs not only by the strong and fairly impetuous wind, but also simply heavy rains. If you compare Panaji with Jaipur, then you won't feel a special difference in temperature, so you can safely enjoy the rest in the interval from October to March, when there is no highly exhausting heat and is installed dry and warm weather, perfectly suitable for walking.
The city relief is dominated by the plains and hills, but the neighborhood of the city is rich in exotic plants, thanks to which there were three amazing reserves in Panaji, even with animals living in natural for them, the medium.
The city is famous for its unique snow-white beaches, which you can not say, for example, about Jaipur. Therefore, the city is much more popular.
Rich in the city and its numerous attractions. For example, the church of the immaculate conception, built in 1541, is obligatory to visit the church, and is an excellent sample of Baroque style. Numerous steps and white stairs, decorated with lanterns, are led by the church itself, because the church is built on a small elevation.
The architectural ensemble of Largo Yes, the Temple of Brahma, as well as the Santa Monica Monastery and Jam Masjid Mosque, also enjoys.
If you prefer to get acquainted with the historical features of the Goa region, then you should visit the local museum of archeology or feces of the Academy, where the art of the state and its culture are presented.
For children and lovers of natural features, it is worth looking into the Bondla Reserve, where deer, bridges, monkeys, dickery, turtles and other representatives of the animal world live. By the way, there is a beautiful children's room and a botanical garden. But to get to the reserve, it is worth overcome by the real obstacles by train, which leads tourists by the ruins of an ancient temple and beautiful waterfalls, which allows tourists to plunge into secrets and local riddles.
Panji attracts tourists of different preferences regarding everything, since the variety of recreation here is really well felt. This applies not only to attractions, but also entertainment, as some prefer lush carnivals and festivities, and some are simply soaked on the shore with a white sand. Days of Don Paula, Miramar, Bammbolim - are considered the most popular in the city. For lovers of outdoor activities, rafting, boating, or visiting the Dellado reserve, is perfect.
As for the aforementioned holidays, in February, the Carnival of celebrations goes here, and the city of Pott is colorful ornaments and fun. But in the spring, you are waiting for the Holiday Shigma, who also surprises many of their fascinating spectacles. Panji's most popular and lively places are considered to be a small area and road street on June 18, because it is here that trading tents, restaurants and shops are located.
And now a little about the features of the local cooking, because each tourist will want to try some local dishes. In principle, Indian cuisine is considered pretty tasty, at least for those who are used to eating simply and tasty. And in general, in the north of Goa, where the city itself is located directly, it is distinguished by an abundance of lamb dishes, which is prepared in different variations. For example, in Prostokvash, in Curry Sauce, in the form of minced mefers or the temptel. I really liked the most popular dishes cooked in Tandara (furnaces), for example - pellets, soups with lentils, rice and other traditional dishes.
As for residence, I can safely say that in Panja relatively high prices, on Indian standards. In the period of the greatest tourist influx, that is, from December to February, prices increase significantly, so book the rooms in advance not to overpay.
Budget housing is located mainly on 31st January Road Street. But, it should be borne in mind that in Panja inexpensive housing is no good quality.
Not far from the Church of the Immaculate Conception is the Ginger GOA, which is distinguished by a similar price and acceptable quality of service and accommodation. Some tourists prefer to be located in Hatsah - houses from palm leaves, which add romantics to young couples. There are expensive Hats in the city, which are whole houses with a kitchen.
Among the expensive hotels in popularity are Vivanta by Taj Panaji and Goa Marriot Resort & Spa, prices in which are from $ 150 per night.
It is beautiful in Panja and Shopping, because it is here that you can buy a large number of very original things and souvenirs, at very reasonable prices. Clothes, shoes, spices, indian tea, handmade souvenirs, as well as products with semi-precious stones are popular here. For fashionists here too, there will also be outlets with discounts, as well as shops of designer clothes. Do not be afraid to bargain, since the first value of the Hindus is not final, you will definitely be treated on any product or service - so accepted. Moreover, it concerns even housing, well, except hotels and hostels, or goods in supermarkets.
PANADII is a relatively calm and quiet city, in which there is a rather low level of crime, though, do not neglect elementary precautionary measures. Be careful in the places of mass accumulation of people, tobish, in the markets and trading trays located in tourist objects.
It is also desirable to take the necessary medications with you on the trip, since the quality of medical care in the city still remains at a very low level.
