Trail Details

Creaky chairs, Murmured laughter, Feni and a hidden taverns you won’t find on a map There’s a kind of magic in the old Goan bars of South Goa — the ones tucked away behind sleepy coconut groves, where the doors creak open into smoky little rooms filled with laughter, stories, and the earthy scent of home-brewed Feni. These aren't shiny, touristy setups. These are taverns, as real as it gets — places where time slows down and every sip tells a story. On this trail, we don’t just do bar hopping in Goa — we slip into the rhythm of the locals. You’ll be led by one of our warm, knowledgeable ambassadors who knows these Goan bars like the back of their hand. Expect unexpected corners, unlisted names, and interiors that haven’t changed in decades. What has stayed is the spirit — warm, welcoming, wildly Goan. You’ll taste Feni in its raw form and as delightful Feni-infused cocktails. Never tried it? Feni is Goa's indigenous spirit, distilled from cashew fruit — strong, pungent, and strangely poetic. But we won’t tell you too much right now… half the charm lies in discovering it glass by glass, story by story. And oh, the stories. Locals at the counter will talk to you like you’re an old friend. The bartenders will share tales that feel too wild to be true. And somewhere between your first and third drink, you’ll realise you’ve stumbled into something rare — a genuine piece of Goa, untouched and unforgettable. ▪ Start Time: 5:00pm ▪ Please Note: This is not a walking experience.
