The Farm Chennai is a destination by itself to visit. Apart it being a functioning farm with great produce, it is one of the best green places around on the Old Mahabalipuram road. Enjoy your meal at their restaurant and shop for fresh produce.

The Konkan Coast is absolutely beautiful, I have driven down the coast many times but never have taken the Train. I am looking forward to the tri-state transit with varied terrain. Lucky to be on the afternoon train so you get to witness the scenery around.

Anaimalai is one of the first sanctuaries I visited as a child. I keep visiting the sanctuary because I de-stress when I am there. Follow this trail to relive the evergreen Shola forest to temperate grassland. This place is absolutely magical with its flora and fauna.

The Cashew plant was brought by the Portuguese from Brazil. The plant flourished in the
region due to the soil and climatic condition. Since Goa was once a Spice hub, the Cashew
nut became very valuable. This trail takes you on a journey of the process that goes into making Feni.

Panjim or Panaji is one of India's most laid back capital cities that is filled with a lot of history and culture. Here's a trail that takes you around the capital city and explores Portuguese influenced architecture, historical monuments and sites exemplifying Goa's rich heritage that is not known to all.

You can't go to Goa and not try out some unique and yummy local food. While there's a lot of info on seafood restaurants and high-end resorts, street food joints are usually missed out or hard to find on maps. Here's a trail of the various of Brian's favourite joints including food-trucks and carts. Get ready for guaranteed lip-smacking enjoyment.

Goa is known for its beaches and yummy seafood, but there's more than you can think of. This trail takes you through Old Goa and explores the chapels there. It also takes you to the beautiful Chorao and Divar islands.

Imagine riding to an ideal village, one that has everything going for it to sustain and where anybody can feel at home. This isn’t a dream, this is ProtoVillage

Goa has a rich habitat which makes it a wonderful destination for bird-watching. It is home to both Resident and Migratory birds. Goa has rivers, mangroves, swamps, fresh springs, ponds/tanks, fields and sanctuaries. Dr Salim Ali spent significant time studying birds in Goa and rightfully has a sanctuary named after him.

This is one of the laid back routes where you skip the traffic and with a lot of picture possibilities along the way. You can spend the entire evening walking through the Flea Market. There are a few Cafes with live music entertainment here. You can visit the beach and watch the setting sun.
