Most Instagrammable Places in Goa

Last few days have been really exciting for us. Partially because we were back from a week-long trip to Goa and partially because we enjoyed going through our pictures, videos and other memories from Goa while sharing the blogs and vlogs on Goa. Goa is one place which is beautiful in every sense. Right from being a party lover’s paradise to a heaven for those seeking peace, Goa delivers it perfectly. Now, as all the blogs and vlogs on Goa are live now on our website and our YouTube channel as well, we would like to present some of the Most Instagrammable Places in Goa – A Photostory! We plan to divide it into three sections where we talk about North Goa and South Goa along with a trip to the Divar Islands. Our motive behind bringing this photo-story is to showcase some of the most beautiful and exotic locations of Goa which you can visit during your next trip here. All these pictures are shot on Google Pixel2 XL!

The beauty of Divar Islands is that it is very peaceful. As it was monsoons during our time of visit, the surroundings were lush green and added to the effect. You can click really beautiful pictures on the roads here with greenery on both the sides. Seen here is Saumya literally dancing in the middle of the road as it was her first time and first day in Goa and in Divar Islands.

A fort now in ruins, the St.Augustine Tower in Old Goa provides a rustic look to the entire setup with its history. The entire fort has many sections which can be used to click some really nice pictures here. A quick tip will be to wear some bright shades as they contrast well to the dark pillars.

This church is more than 400 years old and the number of years has made it look like straight out of our history books. The church is huge and the front view of this church provides a backdrop of white walls with a shade of blue.

Fort Chapora in North Goa is one of the most famous forts in Goa.

One of the most photogenic areas in Goa, the Fountainhas area provides a dream setup for the Instagrammers. This area has brightly colored old Portuguese houses which have been kept intact with colors added to it. The streets of the Fountainhas areas are usually filled with tourists getting a photoshoot done here.

We have just tried to bring out some of the best locations and pictures from our collection of the Goa trip which we did in July this year. All these pictures are phone clicks which have been shot on Google Pixel 2 XL. As we were chasing monsoons in Goa it was our best decision to ditch our DSLR at places and carry only the Pixel2 XL. The water resistance feature of this phone made our lives easier and peaceful as we did not have to worry about our expensive gadgets getting drenched in the rain.
