- A road trip from the north of Goa, to the south- in India’s answer to the Jeep Wrangler: the Mahindra Thar!
Our aim is to find the best beaches in Goa in the much less developed, less touristy southern part of the state.
What we found was a little spot of pure paradise!

You have missed new model of Thar. Its completely different
Blue skies, cheap as chips, friendly people...love it.
Monika's videography skills need some appreciation. How I wish all of us have a Monika like you!
People in south have taken good care of natural areas, trees and forests that's why it seems very undeveloped. I'm glad they did because Goa has both lavish luxury places in North with casinos and cafes and pure natural beauty in south.
I stopped in south Goa in 2018 and was at the same beach. Stayed there for a couple of nights. One of the locals found out I worked in IT and ended up laying network cabling for a wireless access point. The people were lovely. After I started my network activities, I did not pay for accomodation, food, or drink. Wonderful place. And I hired out a Honda 110cc twist and go and loved it.
In 1994 I rented a grey Mahindra in Candolim to go to a party in
The cocktail is called “feni”
I'm glad you made it to Agonda Freddie. I was there last year. Beautiful. Unfortunately I gashed my ankle when I fell through a cracked pavement while filling my RE up with bottled fuel. Trapped in paradise foe three weeks.
Excellent channel. Even for a non biker like me. Been to India over 13 times now and i can say that south goa is much much prettier than north.
Everything about Freddie's videos is exceptional from the introduction, stoic but yet full of personality. This trip to Goa was uncalled for but probably the best videos out there regarding this amazing little state. Absolutely a treat.
I truly admire your laid-back and relaxed style of video making. Mahindra released the second generation of the Thar three years ago, offering a vehicle far superior to the first generation Thar you are driving. You should have chosen the newer generation. Mahindra manufactures these in India due to a license agreement with Willey, similar to Jeep's agreement. Unfortunately, they don't have this license agreement outside of India; otherwise, this vehicle would be selling like hot cakes worldwide.
The “cocktail” that you had is probably either urrak or feni. Urrak is the first distillate, feni is the second distillate, of alcohol made from the cashew fruit. Cashews are cultivated aplenty in Goa. Urrak has a low shelf life and this is typically the season in which it is made, and it is usually consumed with a chilli in it (to cut the taste) which is why I’m guessing you most probably had urrak.
That is one good looking mahindra thar
Sunday morning, Just having breakfast, what a sublime start to the day! Thanks Freddie and Monika 👏😀👍🏍🦦
Brilliant film you two many thanks for sharing this trip with all of us in blighty......😊
India definitely seems like a place to make more videos!
Nice video Freddie looks really chilled out loving the car 🚗.
Beautiful film, you've surpassed yourself. You reminded me that back in the 1980s I had a girlfriend from Portuguese Goa. The family had moved to London. She was drop-dead gorgeous. I took her to Richmond swimming pool and when she emerged in a bikini the busy place fell silent - everyone was watching her! Loving the Jeep. If I was a bit younger I'd be tempted to buy one and import it into the UK. Maybe you should do that? Better than an old series Land Rover!
I'm torn!
Thanks
