VILLAGE FEELS

Panjim may generally be known as a city, but the people living there still witness the village charm and sounds of the baker (poder) passing by at dawn and dusk.

NEIGHBOURHOOD TALES

Concrete jungles seem to be the new face of the city. But, nestled in the not-so-hidden corners are the alleys which are made up of houses, broken tiled roofs and neighbourhood gossip.

NEVER SLEEPS

Of course, the buildings are charming, too. Especially when they overlook the city lights that go out at snail's pace and sometimes, never at all.

WATER WHISPERS

And, when all fails, sitting in front of the water is momentary relief. Confide in the waters of the River Mandovi, and you will find that if you listen close enough, it whispers right back.

LIKE COMING HOME

Winding lanes and familiar streets. To some, Panjim is home and to others, it is home away from home.
