We were taken on a guided tour of a spice plantation and it was so fascinating. I had no idea how some of the things I use every day are grown, and what people have to go through to get the harvest, like climbing up 30m high trees!!

The area is full of beautiful temples, lovely people and delicious food. We also met people who were on a spice tour but we decided to stick with the temples. My favourite was Kavlem, a complex of temples all for one deity. Also, you have to eat the traditional fish dishes of the area.

Mini-bus shuttle from Panjim and then our own transport to tour the temples.
