Overview
Trail Overview

The Goan houses have their own charm - People have often misrepresented the architecture as being Portuguese architecture - but there is so much more to Goa than that. Each one of them has a story to tell - the reasons they were built the way they were, the rains they have witnessed and of course , the stories that took place there. We venture on a unique mission with our series on Houses of Goa - to decode these secrets. 

 

In this trail, we will visit 3 Prominent houses in the village, and discuss the stories about the house. It will include transport , along with breakfast. Lunch will take place at one of the houses being visited. Apart from the houses, there will be stories about the village - It's Making, Visit to the prominent places and local stories.

 

The Trail will be led by Heta Pandit :

builders of Goa, Dust & Other Short Stories from Goa, Walking in Goa, Walking in Old Goa,
