Baga Beach
The Baga Beach holiday resort is a few miles south of Anjuna,
and is basically an extension of Calangute. Lying in the lee of a
rocky, wooded headland, the only difference between this far
northern end of the beach and its more congested centre is that the
scenery here is marginally more varied and picturesque, and the
beach less crowded. Baga Beach has the best range of restaurants
and liveliest nightlife in the area.
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.
