Experience the aromas and spices of Goa
Remember, India is the land of spices? What better than getting a taste of it in Goa, which boasts of several spice plantations spread across the state! The Savoi plantation, Abyss Spice Plantation, Sahakari Spice Farm, Pasco Spice Village and Rustic Plantation are beautiful plantations that grow an assortment of rich spices but it is the Tropical Spice Plantation that stands out with the unique experience it offers.
Once you park your vehicle, you walk down a beautiful bridge suspended over still waters, and that leads you to the entrance of the enchanting Tropical Spice Plantation. A very friendly staff greets you with traditional customs before your guide takes you on a refreshing tour across the vast stretches of green plantations. You’ll be amazed by the large variety of spices that are grown here and some of them that you might not even heard of. Along with black pepper, cardamom, nutmeg, vanilla, cinnamon, cloves, chillies and coriander you’ll also find the traditional Goan plantations like cashew and betel nut. You can also pluck fresh tropical fruits like bananas, jack fruit and custard apple while exploring the aromas of nature. You can also treat yourself to a scrumptious lunch that is arranged for you in a café that’s built in the lap of nature.
Staying with the locals at their humble abode is an experience that is going to stay with you for the rest of your life. Such is the hospitality of the people of rural Rajasthan who believe in making the most out of whatever little they have. And at the end of the day, as the sun goes down in all its glory, the villages’ folklore will mesmerize you like you never could have imagined!

“A trip to the Tropical Spice Market was such a learning experience. I never knew that there was actually a five spice tree/plant. I was always under the impression that five spice was a mixture of five spices.”

“I spent an entire evening at the Samode village singing and dancing with the locals in their colourful traditional attire. I even tried the Chari dance with a pot on my head. Yes, a definite must try for everyone!”
Rural Rajasthan
Bright, traditional, rustic yet soulful – that is rural Rajasthan for you! Considering the chaotic and busy lives we live, visiting the interiors of the state will make you realize how meditatively beautiful life is beyond the hustle bustle of the cities.
While the desert state is considered a perfect embodiment of richness and royalty, it also offers a much humble sight of a Persian wheel irrigating the lush fields in its rural areas. A group of traditionally dressed women, carrying clay pots on their heads, walking down the dust roads and turban-clad men with majestic mustaches sweating it out in the fields, is a common sight that you will see as you drive through the state. And they do it so effortlessly without any trace of discomfort that, it will not just inspire you but will make you appreciate the simplistic beauty of life.
