Shadab, kindly share your number as i would like to connect with you. I am also travel enthusiast. I have been visiting Goa on regular basis to enjoy new year and rainy season. I once took boat ride from Kalangute. As risks are involved in other water sports, i didn't prefer to taken one. In Mumbai I have visitted Haji Ali, Gateway of India, and several beaches several times. i found Mumbai as crowdy as Delhi, and sometimes more congested. If you have any such mailing list or whatsapp group consisting visually impaired travelors for fun, let me know. I want to explore South India, Northeast and of course few nations too. I have been traveling along with my friends and never visited these locations alone just because of fear how will i manage trains, flight and hotel and of course exploring places alone. For instance, in Goa, hardly you will get any public transport to go from one place to another, one beach to other, you will have to hire a bike, if you don't have your someone to drive the scooty or bike , you have to take a tour package with car to explore the places. In my view, taking tour package with car defeats the purpose, as they will only be finishing their job to make you visit the places and might not help you to explore the things. So what are your experiences of visiting Goa?
