Anjuna
Famed as a hippie hangout since the 70s, the main source of
Anjuna's enduring popularity as a holiday destination is its superb
beach. Fringed by painted-flourescent palm trees, the curve of soft
white sand conforms more closely to the archetypal vision of
paradise than any other beach on the north coast. The quieter
southern end is protected by rocky outcrops, while to the north the
beach widens and stretches for almost a mile past groups of bars,
cafés and handicraft stalls. Revellers from the UK and all over
India come to Anjuna on holiday, lured by the club scene and the
promise of big beach parties (particularly over Christmas and New
Year). Outside this peak season the resort normalises to a simple,
relaxed atmosphere; except on Wednesdays, when locals and tourists
flock from all around to shop at the famous Flea Market and drink
sundowners at one of the many restaurants and bars that stretch
along the beach.
Information & Facts
Language
Although English is generally used for official and
business purposes, Hindi is the official language and is spoken by
about 40 percent of the population. Urdu is the language common
with the Muslim demographic. India has a total of 22 official
languages
Money
The currency is the Indian Rupee (INR), which is divided into
100 paise (singular paisa). Major currencies can be changed at
banks, and authorised bureaux de changes. It is impossible to
obtain rupees outside India, but no matter what time you arrive in
India there will be an exchange office open at the airport. It is
illegal to exchange money through the black market and it is
advisable to refuse torn notes, as no one will accept them apart
from the National Bank. It is best to change money into small
denominations. Travellers cheques and major credit cards are widely
accepted, particularly in tourist orientated establishments. ATMs
are not generally available.
