Salcete, Quepem and Ponda villages
Ideal for
Travellers who want the state rather than the resort

Village Goa runs on a calendar of church feasts and temple jatras, an agricultural system reclaimed from the estuary, and a set of crafts — pottery, coir, toddy-tapping — that are still economically alive if not thriving.

We spend two days inside that, eating in houses and paying families directly. If your dates fall on a feast day we will build the trip around it.

Highlights

  • The khazan system and its communal sluices
  • A working pottery and a coir workshop
  • A village feast day if the calendar allows
  • Every meal in a house

Price on request
