Bangalore - Goa trip: Itinerary? Guys a bunch of us are planning a trip to Goa from B'lore in the 3rd week of Dec and I need your help in planning this out!
Why am I planning this early? It's difficult to get accomodation in Goa around Christmas time and I need to book acco as soon as I can - which means I better get a plan in some shape now! The details:
We plan to leave on 16th Dec (evening/night) and be back in B'lore by 21st morning/20th night. We plan to drive the entire way - 8 of us in 2 cars - A fiesta and an SX4/Swift. The requriments:
1) We have all done Goa before, so we are not really trying to cover as many beaches as we can. We are looking for a relaxed trip that's still worth the time spent.
2) We are perfectly fine with night driving and driving long hours (8-10 hours with a small break is acceptable)
3) I was planning on the Bangalore-Tumkur-Shimoga-Jog-Honnavar-Kumta-Karwar route as I am familiar with this route. I was on this road sometime in July: the roads were decent except for a few small stretches. How are they expected to be in December seeing as they would have seen out the entire monsoon by then?
4) What are the best places to stay in Goa? Budget limit is around 3k per head/night and we would like it if the place has a swimming pool etc.
5)I did the Kudle beach, OM beach stretch long ago and would love to do that again. What's the best way to cover these places? On our way there/on the way back etc. It's not a deal-breaker if we can't fit in these places though.
Now, my question really is, if you were in my shoes how would you do it? What would be your detailed plan?
I would appreciate the help here tremoundously people.
On a side note: Which one would you pick to accompany a Fiesta 1.6 on this trip - Swift ZXi or SX4 ZXi? I can't seem to decide on this. I was a previous Swift owner so am a little biased towards the swift at the moment.
PS: Sorry if I am asking too much here!
