The Party Capital
About Goa
India's smallest state is a tropical coast of sun-kissed beaches, swaying palms and Portuguese heritage. Its 100-kilometre shoreline runs from busy Calangute and Baga to quiet Agonda and Palolem, with whitewashed churches, colourful markets and seafood in between. After sunset the beach shacks and clubs take over.
For a college group, Goa is usually the last and most awaited stop of the trip. Trip Campus packages combine the churches and museum of Old Goa with the forts and beaches of North Goa, and the stay is in AC deluxe rooms on a share basis, close enough to the beaches for an evening out.

- Baga Beach and Tito's Lane after dark
