A beautiful and memorable experience made even better by Felly’s energetic and engaging story telling. You not only learn about Goa’s village life and heritage but are left inspired to protect Goa’s and nature’s beauty more broadly. The food and the Urak cocktail in the end made the experience better than perfect. A must do experience for everyone!!!
This walk through the village of Assagao is very unique and like none other. You will hear century old tales of the village, a visit to the hidden monument on the hillock near the village, there after enjoy a hearty Goan meal with some amazing live music and herbal drinks to soothe your soul! This experience is a must do!
It was a wonderful experience and I myself being a Goan, I had no idea about the history and traditions of our forefathers. The herbs they used to heal with and nourish themselves with; their beliefs and social conduct and how simple yet powerful their lives were. I enjoyed the sweets and delicacies during the walk and the sumptuous local snacks prepared by Felly's mother at the end. The drinks that were provided at the end of the walk were refreshing indeed, along with traditional Goan Folk songs while we ate. A shout out to Talsa for the brilliant introduction. But the most important aspect of the whole entire event was the brilliant and passionate energy that Felly portrayed during the entire tour. He kept us entertained and amused during the entire tour without missing a heartbeat. Amazing! This man is proud of his heritage and his culture and it speaks volumes when you meet him in person. Felly! From the bottom of my heart! Thank you and be blessed.
Assagao heritage walk- A great initiative that one could experience.
Good to hear stories about our own land from the lips of a passionate son of the soil Felly Gomes. Enjoyed the walk and the yummy food not to forget the feni cocktail.
If you want to get a taste of authentic Goa village life (no, Goa is NOT A CITY), make sure you take this wonderful walk with Felly. For me, it was an evening well spent breathing in clean air, drinking and eating authentic local delicacies, getting a good bout of exercise climbing hills and valley and getting in touch with the soul of Goa through its Flora, Fauna, Felly and finally, Feni. A must do.
This is a fantastic initiative (among many others) by Felly. For me, it deepened my joy and wonder for this neighbourhood (and state), which is one so easy to fall in love with, that it now faces obliteration of all the things that make it so. The walk gave glimpses of what was, fed the imagination with stories, fostered a connection with what is, and inspired thought towards what can be. This is a very enriching way to spend an evening for anyone, but i especially recommend it for those that have a relationship with the land- living, working, visiting. When we start to see whats around us, with our hearts, we can explore the abundance it holds as opposed to exploit the resources it offers. This walk is a treat for the eyes and the heart. And talking about treats- the herbal tea there is one of my favorites in the world, little local munchies delighted us through the walk, the “bar” was super fun, and Fellys mom’s makes an awesome rass!
