I set off to explore the area of Palolem Beach and ended up having an incredible day that took me from the tranquil Patnem Beach over to the pristine Agonda Beach.

thank
you you're looking for Pure Beach Vibes
look no further so this is the room I'm
staying at in Palm 20 bucks a night it's
pretty
nice has AC but the power one thing I've
noticed since I've been here is the
power keeps cutting in and out I don't
know if that's a problem all over Palm I
didn't really see that up in Aron Ball
but haven't really had to use the I used
it the AC for like 10 minutes yesterday
when I got back cuz the power had been
off all day it was a little muggy in
here turned it on 10 minutes cooled it
off but at night it gets cool enough
where the fan is is enough for
sure
so they have a nice common area here
with like a cafe SL bar
thing but it's 8:00 in the morning and
they don't start serving coffee or food
till like 9:30 so going to have to go
find another
option hello hello good morning good
morning
sir see if I can find someone to to
challenge me on the foosball table
later all right so here we go strolling
down this main road again looking for
coffee let's do
this uh pardon me Madam would you know
where I could find some
coffee looking for the
coffee can you point me in the right
direction okay good talk
G okay offering to your god thank you
thank
you okay and you don't say a mantra or
anything bless me bless
me oh him too yeah oh I got to give them
both something are you going to give me
a Pua yeah
okay
I don't I don't think they have their uh
religious kind of game on yet they got
to they got to flower it up with some uh
with some okay give me a
blessing all right yeah give me one give
me one all right here we go double
blessed you
got
huh 400 camera camera no no not
400 okay good luck boys good luck on
your journey hey what's the whip
for
wa what does that
do whoa oh is that what you do when
people don't give you money you just
crack the
whip
okay the youngest religious scammers
I've seen but they were cute so we got
got double blessed it's going to be a
good
day well that was an interesting way to
start the day to be fair I don't know if
those kids are scammers but they look so
cute in their little outfits like they
were trick-or treating or something and
they were cracking the whip I don't
really know what the whole deal is what
the shrine they were carrying was or
what the deal with the whips is but uh
usually someone's demanding payment for
a blessing it's a it's a scam but those
kids were just demanding money they
weren't even going to give me a blessing
and they just put the powder on my
head they didn't even say like a mantra
or something they didn't even say like M
they didn't even
try they could have just said it they
could have made up they could have put
the blessing on my set thing and said
like like some nonsense phrase and I
would have thought it was a blessing I
don't know but interesting way to start
the
day
so this is the
Cove I think directly north of powan
Beach right now I'm trying to get up on
those rocks get a view of the beach and
then I might go explore that point over
there the water Clarity here looks a
little bit better than up in aronal I
think that might have to do with the
type of sand it's more pebbly than uh up
there with like a finer darker
sand so palem is around the other side
of
that interesting little area
here somebody fishing or something over
there
Namaste
sir fishing yeah what are you fishing
for smallish King Fish no no no small
fish huh small fish small fish oh
okay is this a good spot to fish good
lots of fish coming here yeah
yeah okay sir have a good day good
luck
oh that water feels
good
looking a little poundy over
[Music]
here
[Music]
got
woohoo okay so there we go Palm
Beach there's that Island wonder if I
could swim to that island or walk to it
at low tide and for those of you keeping
score at home not an adventure till I'm
bleeding actually a little bit tougher
coming over here than I
expected so now I think I'm going to
explore that side of the beach later but
I'm going to keep going along here there
was another little
outcropping with uh if you keep going
you hit pattin them Beach but I'm going
to try getting there the Coastal Way see
how it
goes almost lost my hat might swim try
to get to those rocks and swim across
there doesn't look too far well it's a
good thing I had that power pancake for
breakfast that Karma Cafe I don't think
I mentioned but breakfast was about
seven bucks and it was that pancake and
a double espresso and a mint lemonade
fueled up by the power of the pancake
for
adventure made it to the crab crack
Island
here and next going to head out there
maybe we'll
see goal is to not get run over by that
guy could barely make out the mountains
in the background
beautiful so far one boat has gone
through and I'm
okay
maybe a third of the way
there made it to the promised
land I need something to drink after
that okay there you go there's patm
Beach definitely looks especially down
there way less crowded than
Palm
woohoo
yeah oh look at this
found this nice little cafe overlooking
that that bay where I made that swim
over this way and then I went around the
point and then came up jumped off came
back over patum or penum Beach is that
way and then this was right at the top
of the behind that Hill there time to
enjoy some watermelon juice I really
like that little spot he said it gets
crowded right before Sunset usually
towards the end of the day everyone
comes out to that point for the views of
the
sunset but uh 300
for for two watermelon juices so that's
like less than four bucks little bit
less than two bucks a piece I think this
is going where I want to go
maybe Secret Hill that was the name of
that place
cool little village back here that can't
get back here by
motorbike got a park here motorbike down
here couple more little cafes here on
the
coast
[Music]
looks good good job looks
good all right here we
are
the little bit more secluded patam
beach
[Music]
parked my scooter over here somewhere
but I don't know exactly where hopefully
I can find it
all right so that's I think it's
somewhere somewhere along this was it
this Cove or the Cove over I don't
remember hey
P the fruit looks very nice keep uh Doby

bye-bye
bye
aha found the
scooter excellent this day just keeps
getting better and
better
so right now I'm in aganda Beach which
is north north of palm 15 or 20 minutes
on the scooter checking it out looks a
little bit nicer I have not checked the
beach out yet but kind of the market
area looks a little bit
fancier
this place looks fancy and probably out
of my budget but let's go check it
out
well I think a Gonda Beach is the
spot this is my favorite uh Beach so far
that I've been to in India not sure how
much the accommodations are but that
meal was actually cheaper than I
expected to be only uh 660 rupees so
about eight bucks for that veg go Curry
coconut based and uh if you're looking
for Pure Beach
Vibes look no
further look no further than a Gonda
Beach for sure this is nice not
crowded nice restaurants nice little
beach front guest houses
here maybe it gets crowded at at
Sunset right now this looks like the
spot to be for
sure excuse me sir how much for a room
room yeah uh you can talk to a manager
in section just do you know like maybe 5
to 6K maybe 5 to 6K yeah does that have
AC or no yeah with AC 5 to 6K that's not
bad yeah okay but you can talk to our
maner maybe price will be well I just
was curious cuz I'm staying over in
palum okay but I was just wondering what
the difference in price it's more
expensive in aganda huh yeah yeah okay
cool thanks
man
5 and 6K be like I don't
know 60 bucks
maybe
65 so triple what I'm paying
but 65 bucks for a spot right on the
beach I mean you know obviously in the
states you're talking like I don't know
what 600
500 65 bucks to be be on a Gonda Beach
if you're looking for Pure Beach
getaway just Beach Vibes not really
looking for any crazy
adventure I think this is where you want
to come I think a Ganda Beach is the is
the
spot so just like those other beaches we
were at looks like on the south side of
aganda beach bunch of these boats you
can take a boat tour so between here and
palm there's a couple of secluded
beaches one kind of well-known one I
guess that's remote is butterfly Beach
not sure if you can paddle the kayak
from PM but uh certainly take this boat
boat tour over there there are these
huge bats flying around holy
cow
wow never seen them active in broad
daylight like this and they are
just
massive
wow normally they they're not active
during the day right just at night yeah
the night time is going go to Village
all they go where here yeah
yeah oh they just go they hang out here
at night they go out
[Music]
wow never have to worry about running
out of
petrol right one more no that two is
