Road trip to Goa, from Calicut (Kozhikode) 615 kms. The road trip was fun and memorable, right from the Malabar food to the beautiful beaches along the road. Mutta Masala, a Malabar special! Mahe Church: We had a stopover at Mangalore and started the trip again early next morning, had breakfast on the way at Murudeswhar... We had lunch at Karwar, roadside sea facing hotel and reached Goa at about 4 pm. We stayed at Ponda City, which is 30 kms away from Panjim. The best road trip we had made in a decade. We did not use google maps or any navigation device, we got directions from sign boards and by simply asking people. What road trip to Goa video.
