A
fascinating day out along an offbeat track, deep down Goa's
hinterland through remote villages taking you back in time.
See for yourself traditional Goan life-styles and above
all what life really means to a Goan. Travel through time
and experience how people are caught up in a time warp.
Treat your self to a haircut or a shave at the local barber;
try your hand at weaving coir rope or shaping a clay pot
at the local pottery before you return back to the 21st
century.
Visit the village barber at the Village Square after making
his daily rounds on house calls, watch the fisherman mend
their nets at the riverfront & also visit the local kindergarten
school.
Move on to see subtle fingers of women in rustic village
surrounding weaving unending lengths of coir rope made from
coconut husk. Watch the local "Dhobi"(laundry man) at the
nearby stream, doing their daily washing over a stone. He
has been putting up miles and miles of clothes on the washing
line over the years. Just like his ancestors. Visit the
local brewer distilling "Feni"the true Goan spirit of life
before you get to a secluded beach for a refreshing swim
and lunch.

Watch
the local Goan bread "Sannas"being steamed while you have
a sumptuous lunch specialties cooked with selected local
spices and in traditional Goan utensils. After lunch it's
time to experience for yourself the age old mode of transport.
Take off on a bullock cart ride and travel back in time…
Finish off the day with a visit to the local pottery, try
your luck at the wheel of fortune and try your hand at shaping
anything of your choice with a helping hand from the local
potter. His deft hands have shaped thousands of earthen
pots … and his destiny too! Collect your FREE souvenir to
remind you of your travel back in time.
