ARPORA.


 


The one dream destination in India that every one would want to visit - whether they are Indians or people from abroad, is - Goa.

There have been many tourists who have visited Goa, fell in love with the place and have made it their home.

Inspite of buzzing with tourists, the place is quite quiet and serene. 

The midnight flea markets of Anjuna and Arpora, is much talked about.

The Arpora Saturday midnight market is a visual and sensual treat. From fabrics to booze, live music and worldwide cuisine,
art and artifact and people...you have it all.

 

The place is a confluence of various cultures from through out the world.






Tarrot reading, crystal grazing, gypsies, hippies and desi hawkers, who give a damn to Indian tourists, the place is so vibrant that one night is not enough for the experience.

If you ever plan to trip to Goa...do include Arpora in your itinerary.
