Special interest holidays
We are keen nature lovers and can help organise wildlife tours and amazing trekking through the old teak forests in Karnataka or Kerala. On the other end of the spectrum, "designer shopping days" be it for furniture or clothes, can also be arranged by Pierre who has become an expert on Panjim.
Travel
Approx 40km North from Dabolim Airport, airport pick up can be arranged. Once here, car or bike hire recommended, but not essential, local taxis readily available and not expensive. By rail, Tivim is the nearest station, about 20km away.
Distances
Shops walking distance, Main Cathedral 1km away. The picturesque river and paddy fields, and sunset coves are all within walking distance. 5kms away, is also the "wild west" village of Chapora, a contrast with Siolim, with many noisy bars and eateries, including excellent Pizzas and Greek kebabs.
Further details
Siolim is famed for its beautiful local Hindu and Christian Festivals, which seem to average once a week!. However, it can be a sleepy town, with 2 small restaurants. Evening meals can be arranged for. Please note, its not a touristy town, the local temple and dogs can occasionally be noisy at nightimes.
