Exploring Alappuzha Beach's crab army, shopping for eco-friendly houseboats, and discovering the pristine shores of Marari Beach.
Heading for Alappuzha
One local bus, two flights, and one taxi to reach Alappuzha - the 'Venice of the East' famous for its backwaters and traditional houseboats.
Back to Goa
The long train journey from Hampi back to Goa - 11 hours of Indian railways, trash-throwing shock, and a celebratory seafood feast at Bogmalo Beach.
Anjaneya Hill
Our last day in Hampi - crossing the river in a coracle boat, climbing 575 steps to the birthplace of Hanuman, and saying goodbye to this magical place.
Hampi temples
Exploring Hampi's incredible temple ruins by scooter - from the Elephant Stables to the crown jewel Vitthala Temple with its famous stone chariot.
Leaving Goa for Hampi
We left the beaches of Goa behind for the ancient ruins of Hampi - a UNESCO World Heritage Site built among surreal boulder-strewn landscapes.
Heading to North Goa
Leaving the paradise of Agonda Beach behind, we headed north to Bogmalo - a strategic base near the airport for our upcoming adventures to Hampi.
Palolem Beach
We hired a scooter to explore Palolem Beach - Goa's most famous beach known for silent discos and backpacker vibes. But first, we had to sweet-talk our way out of a police stop.
Agonda Beach
Our first full day on Agonda Beach - swimming in the Arabian Sea, exploring the quiet beach village, and discovering why this is called Goa's silent beach.
