Scrolling through reels while you lie on a beach that once inspired poetry. Snapping selfies in front of a centuries-old chapel without knowing who built it. Googling “hidden gems in Goa” while ignoring the village elder sitting right next to you.

You’ll uncover the usual suspects: The same beaches that appear on every travel blog. The forts you’ve seen in reels and romantic Bollywood scenes. The trending cafés that promise the “best sunsets” and “must-try seafood.”
