Goa or Sri Lanka
Please help me choose a country for outdoor activities: Sri Lanka or GOA. I like to swim in the sea, eat well, but I am very squeamish. Will I feel sick in GOA (sorry for being direct ;)))? How much cleaner is Sri Lanka? (I love animals --- cows, pigs and dogs do not scare, people scare). thanks for answers.

Goa is divided into north and south. good in south goa.
north goa is a more budget holiday and it’s just dirtier there, etc.

thank you very much for the answer! )) I would like to know exactly the level of pollution in North Goa - dump? stink? Or is it not so scary? And a comparative analysis of South Goa with Sri Lanka. Suddenly someone was both there and there and how it feels :)

Friends were in Goa, and then in Lanka - they said that Lanka is much cleaner and more comfortable. We ourselves were on Sri Lagka, we did not particularly notice any stench and dirt. The people are friendly and everything is clean and tidy.

Sri Lanka is a more soulful country. People are kind and responsive. Everything is clean and tidy. What can I say - their children go to school every morning in a PERFECTLY white uniform!
Goa, in my opinion, is a more peculiar and controversial region. But at the same time, the southern part really offers a more luxurious holiday.
But in swimming, the difference is actually not noticeable ...

If you choose a normal hotel in the North, there will be no problems with sanitation, but active recreation involves going outside the hotel - and it can already be dirty there. For example, in Pattaya I went to the market without any problems, but in Goa I could no longer overpower myself :)))

we flew for the first time on the advice of Oleksii64, but India was my dream, I counted on dirt and unsanitary conditions (I am a doctor), but I didn’t see anything shocking there, only positive. We are going again in February. I am also squeamish. but it’s so cool there! impressions will cover the shortcomings. Yes, we ate in street and beach cafes, there were never any problems.

Sri Lanka has stunning deserted beaches. Very beautiful nature. A well-preserved diverse fauna. It is very interesting not just to relax on the beach, but to see the country. with a temple in which one of the main shrines of Buddhism is stored - the Tooth of the Buddha. Noisy crowded Colombo, by the way, there is an excellent zoo. Where they show a small show with elephants, not as bright and colorful as, for example, in Thailand, but still. What should be taken into account , in Sri Lanka, on most of the most beautiful huge beaches, there are waves. In some places it is difficult to enter the water. But these beaches are mostly wild, there are no hotels. If you plan trips around the country, then be patient and time as the traffic is very heavy , the roads are narrow, the speed of movement is not high, and in the capital there are huge traffic jams reminiscent of Moscow.

The difference between Goa and Sri Lanka was not noticed at the last beggars and beggars, even near religious places. Sri Lankans are clean and tidy. In Goa, there is a lot of garbage (household waste) on the street. This did not frighten us, since, unfortunately, this is also typical for Russia. There are practically no sightseeing places within Goa. Sri Lanka definitely wins in this, as well as in natural beauty. For some reason, there are more tourists in Goa, and if you like society and parties, then this is here. But in general, a good holiday, no matter where you stop. I think you will like it both there and there.

Before my last vacation, I asked myself exactly the same question. In Sri Lanka, I was frightened by the presence of monitor lizards and other living creatures in every hotel (so they wrote), and in GOA they conquered the beaches. As a result, we went to GOA - we were wildly delighted - South GOA, the Nanu Resort hotel. I'm looking at Kerala for my next vacation. It is cleaner, more cultured, and richer in sights (as they say). I suggest you start with it and tell us all)):

Again...
Why ON Goa? Is this an island? why capital letters? is that an abbreviation?
ACTIVE LEISURE in Goa and Sri? There isn't really anywhere to go there. Take India as a whole, at least for 2 weeks.

yyyy )))) there is always a person on the forums who will make some remark off topic )))) Goa is not an island, and I wrote in two versions without hesitation. However, this has nothing to do with the case at all. logvinova6, thank you very much for the detailed answer, we will keep this hotel in mind!

nastya_lottour, yes, you are absolutely right! )) We also have a relaxing sea holiday, a little bit of central Europe, England. Everything is so different, but absolutely the whole family is delighted with all trips! And it's even good that each journey is something different, unlike the previous one. I want to see every corner of the planet

By the way, regarding all sorts of animals, we want to see chipmunks and monitor lizards don’t scare either! All that scares is all the same people who do not protect their country and shamelessly litter. But let's focus on the positive. All the same, nature is gorgeous here and there)) We will soon decide, and when we return (it will be autumn), I will definitely tell you in detail about my impressions

Yes, having visited both there and there, not on a ticket, I can safely say that it’s better to catch on Sri Nefig compared to India !!!
sandra-art, Ukraine comes from the word "Outskirts", so ON is acceptable.
Off topic, if you asked for Santiago, and here I am with my Goa.

TombArthur, for that matter "ACTIVE LEISURE in Goa and Sri" ??? Sri Lanka island. Then it was necessary to write "ON". And off topic, because, firstly, we are discussing the tour, and not who writes and how. Secondly my question was: "Goa or Sri Lanka" and not "Goa, Sri Lanka or central India". I created a topic so that they would help me with the choice of specific places to stay, and not drag in a third option. Recommend New Zealand. She is also interesting. As for outdoor activities, those who are active will find something to do anywhere. And your opinion, as we see from the reviews of other people, is wrong. People are not bored, they go on excursions, they have a lot of impressions, and you write "not good to catch." Why go to forums and spoil people's positive communication?

I would not look, I would sit in a corner quietly. Compared with India, nefig catch. Sinharaja, perhaps, well, Yalla. EVERYTHING! Sigiriya, Nuwara, Ella, Kandy, Trinco... I just haven't been to the north, they say, it's wild and interesting in Jaffna.
69, In Goa, be and are great on neighboring beaches, and suburbs, and walking in search of something, but alas, bullshit. it’s worth driving to the Dudshar waterfall. Goa is not India in the juice itself, alas.

what, I do not argue. You need to see all of India. But not at this time. Based on who I'm traveling with, the time I have available and other factors, I have 2 options. Which is exactly what I started with. The color of India, as such, is very interesting. When the opportunity arises, I will take your advice.

We lived in Sri Lanka for more than a month, even in this case, it seemed that there was little time. As it was written in the previous review, we traveled almost the entire island except for the North, but I would not recommend it either. These are Tamil territories and are still not calm. Maybe, of course, nothing, we did not take risks because we were with a three-year-old daughter. As for the animal world, it is amazing, we lived in a private house. Far from the cities in the very south in a village on the ocean, every evening flocks of large green parrots, a huge number of chipmunks flew in, a peacock flew into the yard, monitor lizards crawled along the road, lizards of all colors and sizes. There were not very pleasant meetings with a snake, but we looked on top of each other and in different directions, and for the first time I saw cockroaches so big .... I don’t know what kind, but they are very reminiscent of Madagascar and very noisy frogs, just guards. They thought they were big, it turned out that kids smaller than a nail can create unbearable noise. In general, this is a real exotic for us, which I personally really liked.
