What to see in India and where to stay in Goa?
I would like to get objective information about the excursion (take a package from the tour operator before departure and for how many days or choose on the spot) and get advice on hotels (necessarily the first line), stardom does not matter.

excursions from TO to GOA are expensive. very. it is cheaper to negotiate with an auto rickshaw or a taxi or go by public transport. for example, from the central part of GOA, an excursion to Old GOA costs 55 per person, and I spent 2 on the bus when I got there.
at local agencies almost as expensive.
hotels - yes, choose any, there is no difference at all where to take, those that offer maintenance, almost everything is not far from the ocean, or on the coast, almost everything is only for breakfast and that 2 *, that 4 * - the same. choose the price that suits you. well, the region is the north of the party, the south is more calm.

As far as I know, in the European sense, first-line hotels are not built in Goa, it is forbidden, only bungalows can stand right on the shore. As for excursions, of course, Goa is worth traveling on your own, the state is small, do not get lost. And read the information in the guidebooks.

Of the organized excursions, it is still worth taking Hampi. Of course, tour operators are expensive, about 230-250, local companies are much cheaper, we traveled for $ 165 from Asia and I, they have an office in Candolim, although we found them via the Internet at home and signed up for a tour in a month http:// www.aziaiya.com/Hampi_2dnia/; it included a hotel, breakfast, entrance tickets + a Russian guide accompanied us all the time. By the way, during the excursion to Hampi on the way, we learned a lot about India from the guide there, that we digested the information for a long time. The girl, Natasha, she was called in my opinion, like she was telling a fairy tale! What we don’t ask about, she shared her experience with us about her life in India, about culture, customs with such pleasure. She talked about Hinduism, it turns out they have a different time reckoning and now they have KALI YUGA! Yes, and in Hampi, the territory is very large. I can imagine that we would get out at the bus station ourselves, and there are people, vanity, everyone is running somewhere, horror !!! And so in a comfortable minivan, under the stories of the guide, we, looking out the window with interest, arrived in Hampi) Well, it’s better not to talk about Hampi, it’s better to see it once! This is an amazing place!

naturally a different time calculation)) they had a new year on October 26)))
there is no particular fuss there, it just seems so after GOA.
And Hampi, yes, a great place, located in another state, 2-day excursions are usually. friends took for 170 from the locals.

October 26th is not the New Year, but Diwali. The Festival of Light. They celebrate the day when the Gods defeated the demons in the struggle for light. Therefore, they hang out various lanterns, make terrible figurines of demons (the more terrible, they are better), and then they burn them. And if we talk specifically about the celebration of the New Year, then for Hindus this year it falls on March 23. (Hindu New Year).

strangely, all the Indians convinced us that it was like a meeting of the new year.
From Wikipedia - in modern India, Diwali is considered to be the holiday of the new year, although it has different interpretations in different regions of the country.
... not in vain did they convince the weight ...

Do they offer package tours (as, for example, in Sri Lanka), do you ride around the country for several days, then relax on the beach?
