Goa is the most popular place where Russian tourists go to rest in India. It is divided into three parts: southern, central and northern. Southern Goa is considered the most decent and expensive, there is a large number of good hotels and the audience, which arrives there - these are mostly those who are looking for a quiet and relaxing holiday. North Goa - more than active youth or tourists not seeking comfortable hotel rest. It is interesting for them to see the country, have an actively developed infrastructure with bars, discos. The central part of Goa place is going to hippie, the most economical, but for rest is not quite suitable. As you can see, depending on the place where you arrive will depend on the cost of the tour.
I will add to what has been said that in India there is its own local currency - rupee. The average course is approximately equal to 1 rupee - 60 kopecks. Therefore, going to rest with you either dollars or euros, in any case there will be a currency to change. It is better to do this in special exchange offices, there and the course is better, by the way $ 100 will change on a more advantageous rate than 10 dollars. Small money with you is better not to carry. If you do not have enough cash in the recreation process, you can rent money from your card with an ATM, but consider the transaction commission will not be small from 300 rupees on average. Therefore, calculate the necessary amount in order not to return to the next removal and not pay again the bank commission.
Cost of vouchers.
Go to Goa, both independently and through the tour operator. To whom it is more convenient. On average, the cost of the flight on the route Moscow-Goa-Moscow will cost 20,000 to 30,000 rubles per tourist. To visit India, you will need a visa that will need to be issued in advance, its price is from 2000 to 3000 thousand rubles. Depends on where you will open it. Next, this is a medical insurance, everything is simple with it, the price depends on the number of days, the formula is 1 day - 1 dollar. Ground service, here prices can be very different, everything will depend on the comfort of the place where you will stop. For example, a rather modest bungalow will cost 300 rupees per day. The room in the simplest hotel will cost - 800 rupees. Something more decent is about 1500 rupees. But, usually, independent tourists are rarely stopped in such non-economical versions. Those who plan their journey for a long time can rent housing at a discount, for example, for a month, a chic room with all amenities will cost about 10,000 rupees.
If we talk about the finished tour, purchased from the tour operator, the price of the question will be the following. Hotel 3 * at breakfasts for 2 weeks will cost one in the area of 25,000 - 30,000 rubles. Hotel 4 * at breakfasts for 2 weeks will cost already in the area of 40,000 - 50,000 rubles per person. A 5 * from 50,000 thousand rubles and higher, especially if this is a hotel chain belonging to the world chain, there are such ones.
All prices mentioned above may vary, especially for the New Year holidays, the cost increases several times. And the most economical time for Goa are November and March.
The cost of moving on Goa.
Usually, all movement on Goa occurs either by taxi, or on a rented scooter or bike. Local buses tourists do not use that in my opinion right. Always great probability not to get to the right place, plus a solid antisanitary. So, as for taxis, drivers always overestimate the real price in the hope that the tourist will agree. On average, the price is such - 20 kilometers is 500 rupees. Based on this and count. However, if you want to actively move and do not depend on taxi drivers, it is worth considering the lease version of a scooter or a bike. On a day it will cost an average of 300 rupees. And than for a longer period you take it to rent, the bigger discount they provide you. Pay attention, too cheap rental suggests that the scooter is in a bad technical condition or completely ancient, it is not worth saving here. Renting the vehicle, you will need to fill it, the cost of 60 rupees is 1 liter of gasoline. At the time of refueling, make sure that the counter was reset, often thus deceive who do not know the tourists.
Nutrition in Goa.
Many hotels in Goa began to work on the "All Inclusive" or "half board" system, in which case it is especially often you will not walk on local restaurants, unless as an experiment. But if you do not have food in the cost of the tour or only breakfast, you will have to pose this issue. On Goa, it is necessary to be as neat as possible in choosing a place. If I liked everything, it makes sense to become their regular visitor. The average account in the restaurant can be at least 100 rupees and a maximum of 500, provided that you order delicious fresh fish or seafood. Fans of fruit will say that for 200 rupees you can take a whole package of all kinds of exotic tacities. Freshly squeezed juices are about 50 rupees. As for conventional bottled water, it is more profitable to take 5 liters at once for 50 rupees. On the day for food and drink you will leave 500 to 1000 rupees.

Resting on Goa, besides the cost of the tour, ideally for 2 weeks to capture with him a minimum of 1000 dollars. To rest and do not deny yourself. First, when you arrive, it seems that everything around is very cheap, but for 6 days, you can already feel an acute shortage in money. Yes, on Goa inside is truly inexpensive, however, because of this, money is very quickly disappeared. Therefore, it is better to take with a margin.
