Hello i am also going to calangute in April. We fly out on the 6th. April will feel a lot hotter than it does in Jan/Feb but it isnt as busy in April. I have never been in April, always been in Jan and i agree that calangute is a lively resort but other people have reassured me that April isn't as bad. There are still people around, beach shacks open and shops but there arnt as many street sellers. April is the end of the season and is a lot more humid. Where are you flying from ?

We are flying from Gatwick I think, my friend has booked it all so I'm a little hazy on the details!!

I hope ive put your mind at rest about it not being as busy. As i said before, i have never been in April but some of the regulars on this forum have and they have said it is quite peaceful.

p.s If you do find the beach a bit crowded(which i very much doubt at that time of year) you could always ask a taxi driver to take you to manderim beach(think thats how its spelt). It costs about 500 rupees return which is about £7 i think. It is still in north Goa but not in the tourist part. Its gorgeous, really quiet, and theres virtually no one else there except you and a beach shack.

Have fun :)

You do get the odd "Brits Abroad" scenario but to be perfectly honest you don't see very much of it. You hear more from the locals - "lovely jubbly; cheap as chips" that sort of thing. For some reason most Goans seem to think everyone in England speaks with a cockney accent but I guess it's only a reaction to what they hear.

I think perhaps the odd 1 or 2 stand out a bit more because the place is so laid back.

As others have said you are going right at the end of the season so there shouldn't be that many people around in any case and even if there was there are plenty of places to get away from it all.

You'll have a great time!

Thanks for your replies! I think a holiday is what you choose to make it, and I intend to have a very good time!

Glad there a plenty of places to escape everyone and hopefully going at this time of year will prove to be a good choice!

I can go back to being very excited now!!! :D
