Hey dude…
you’ve picked a nice time to go to Goa.. As the peak season starts end of NOvember – December.

Goa is pretty tourist friendly – except for somethings which can be a lil pricey during season time. You’ll should be able to get a room/apartment after u reach, shouldn’t be a problem. As ppl will be just opening up for the season and not much will be booked.

And Palolem is cheaper compared to other places in Goa.

My grandma owns guest house at Baga. But i dont know if you’d like it there… the guest house is nice but the place around its too commercial and yep too noisy (read- lots of parties) during season time. So there could be possibility of you drowing you TABLA sounds in them ;)

Palolem on the other hand is quieter and not too much with the party scene – only during the peak season (x’mas & new years)

Anyway… let me know if you need any more info -

Cheers…
