If I had a nickel for every time someone sighed, “Goa just isn’t what it used to be, I miss the old charm,” I’d have bought a house in Goa by now. Okay, maybe not a house, but definitely a pizza. But that’s exactly when some folks from Goa step in to make you feel otherwise. And those folks I’m talking about are from The Local Beat.
Pasois And Picnics: The Local Beat In Goa Is All About Community & Connections
About The Local Beat
The Local Beat is all about reviving Goa’s old-world charm, or better yet, showing you that the Goa everyone “misses” is still very much alive. They bring back what the state now longs for, including cosy communities, feasts, picnics, and parties (the kind that still feel rooted).
The folks at The Local Beat curate some of the most fascinating tours across Goa. If you believe in exploring like a true-blue traveller, slow and intentional, these are the people you count on. They give you magical access to hidden villages where you actually meet and interact with local Goans.
So yes, call them if hiking, cycling, crab fishing in Chikol, eating local snacks, discovering forgotten chapels and markets, or sipping homemade toddy is your idea of a holiday. None of their trips looks the same because they don’t work with rigid itineraries. Every walk comes with surprise elements, and their ability to narrate local stories makes you enjoy the “local” in every sense.
Picnics and Pasois are their signature experiences, and most of their outings are private and held in exclusive spots. Expect local and seasonal snacks, lunch/dinner, feni cocktails and mocktails, and activities tailored separately for North and South Goa.
Basically, these are the people you call when you want something different, memorable, and... for the 100th time, truly local!
