NATIONAL FAMILY ADVENTURE CAMPING CUM TRAINING - GOA, 2024-25 (By Goa State Branch)
BREIF DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAM:
As most of you must be aware Goa has attained a place of pride on the International Tourist Circuit. Goa is one of India’s most laid-back yet sophisticated and exciting destinations. Goa offers miles and miles of sunny beaches, well preserved churches, temples and forts, lush green forests, abundant wild life, spectacular pageantry, colourful festivals, warm and gracious people, superb cuisine. There is so much to see - and you feel there’s too little time. A visit to Goa is incomplete without North & South Goa sightseeing and river cruise on River Mandovi. Over the years we have observed that the campers find it difficult to go for sight-seeing & river cruise as Dec - Jan is the peak season and getting tour booking is difficult. Moreover 2 days are required as North & South Goa tours are conducted separately. Needless to say that the price paid for these tours is also high. Keeping in mind requirement of our campers and in association with Goa Tourism Development Corporation (A Govt. of Goa Undertaking) we have worked a combine North & South Goa tour, the cost of which has been included in the fees paid whereas participants will have to pay for the River Cruise.
