Goa
Khoj-aao! curates offbeat, unique experiences for nature lovers and adventurers. We carefully design half-day, full-day, overnight and multi-day experiences across Goa and the A&N Islands that are great for nature lovers of all ages. All of our experiences are environmentally and socially conscious, engage local communities and support both local and global conservation efforts. From bird-watching in Goa and to sunset hikes and overnight camping trips under the stars, come explore the greener, local side of Goa.
Our guides are fun, professional, knowledgeable and Wilderness First Aid certified. We provide local, fresh & healthy refreshments and high-quality adventure equipment on all of our experiences. Khoj-aao! Experiences are 100% SAFE– Slow, Adventurous, Fun and Educational– and, they are great for students, schools, corporate groups, travellers, families and young learners. Literally, ‘khoj’ comes from the Hindi word meaning ‘to look for’ and ‘aao’ translates as ‘to come’. Together, ‘khojaao’ means ‘to get lost’ or ‘wander’ and all of this is what we do.
Khoj-aao! in the wonders of the natural world – you’ll be glad you did.
