Attractions[edit | edit source]
A short walk north off the main beach is a smaller beach with a "fresh water lake" close to the sea. The jungle valley, enclosed between low hills, hides a banyan tree. Adjoining the banyan tree there is a stone sculpture created by an American conceptual and land art artist, Jacek Tylicki, titled Give if you can - Take if you have to (also called The Money Stone).[citation needed] It has become a pilgrimage destination.
Another attraction is Arambol Drum Circle & Sunset Beach Market[6], one of the most unique flea markets in Goa. It starts a few hours before the sunset where travelers from all over the world sell their hand made creations. More than just a market, it is a party on the beach where people bring their drums, hand-pans, Didgeridoo (didgeridoo) and meet here everyday to make music as the sun sets. It is common to see performers at this time with their juggling balls, hula hoops, poi and many other props. With things like handmade clothes, food, jewelry, glass pipes – this market looks like it is right out of a music festival.
Due to the composition of both national and international musicians, Arambol is home to a rich live music scene, dominated by Gypsie-Fusion bands.[citation needed]
Activities[edit | edit source]
Strong winds during the main season make it a significant location for leisure sports, like paragliding and kite surfing.[7] Every evening during the peak tourist season, there are sunset parties on Arambol beach.[8] A variety of practitioners in Alternative medicine and Wellness (alternative medicine) offer courses in Yoga, meditation, Odissi dance, and musical instruments (like Tabla, Sitar and other traditional Indian as well as Western instruments).[9]
Events[edit | edit source]
The Tribal Dance Festival and the Indian Juggling Convention take place in Arambol.[10][not specific enough to verify] The Goa Contact Festival and In-Touch Festival both offer Contact Improvisation Dance and Somatics.[citation needed] All are scheduled for late January/early February.[citation needed]
