Goa Vaut le voyage? Worth the trip
Hi!
We are planning a 2-week trip to southern India for late December, early January, 2015/2016. I have always wanted to see GOa but with limited time to see as many of the wonderful sites as possible, I am wondering whether we should go the distance to GOa.
Any thoughts?

Hardly. It used to be a major hippy hangout. There are still aging hippies around, all night parties during the season, and a lot of tourists, some, I believe, of the package variety. I am sure there are outfits offering yoga, reiki, Ayurvedic cures etc. etc., but I wouldn't rate their spirituality any higher than anywhere else in India, and quite likely lower.
Goa is a series of beaches. I highly recommend reading the latest Lonely Planet guidebook if you decide to go. It will fill you in on the characteristics of the different beaches. Last time I was there, in 2010, the southern beaches were still somewhat less developed.
