Excellent interesting experience - A great morning! Our guide, Pratim, who was charming, took us to three different temples and explained the history. We then went to a coconut farm where the owner amazed us with the process of coconut farming, followed by a fabulous vegetarian lunch.

educational & peaceful - We had such a special day at Mulgao village. Pritram was our guide & he went above & beyond to accommodate us to make sure that we got the most out of the tour.
It was very interesting learning about the religions, seeing the temples, & immersing ourselves in the coconut farm. The food was homemade by a local woman & delicious! Well worth the money!
We learnt a lot & as only two women on the tour, we felt very comfortable. Would definitely go again!

Wonderful experience with Pritam - Our experience in the village of Mulgao was fantastic and gave us some really special insights into Goan tribal traditions and local farming. The tour started with stories behind the tribal temples of Mulgao, each having its own unique past and tradition.
After the temples, we went over to Mulgao Verde, a farm focused on sustainable and minimally processed virgin coconut oil production. The owner himself gave us a demonstration of the extraction process and did an amazing job explaining the many uses of every part of the coconut. We ended the tour with the most incredible banana leaf lunch made from ingredients sourced directly from the farm.
Of course this review cannot be complete without mentioning our amazing storyteller Pritam. From the get go, he was so excited to explain the local stories, show us around, and take pictures for us. His enthusiasm was infectious and we wouldn’t have enjoyed the tour as much without it. He even made the extra effort to pick up cake for my husband’s birthday so we could enjoy it after lunch.
Thank you to Pritam, Rohan, and the Make it Happen team for such a wonderful experience!

The local Goa Spirit - A true experience - The memory of this Saunter is everlasting! I travelled to Goa to Unwind, Relax, Rejuvenate, and to find my solace unlike the commonly known reasons for many to land in Goa. This was my first experience with Make It Happen, and I was nothing but impressed. This saunter has a unique charm to it, this charm is captured to perfection by the team of Make it happen. A special mention to Amreen who made this an experience of a lifetime for me. She was calm in her demeanour, her tone and voice decibel clearly well thought and matching the quietness of place. And if you are a tea lover there's something for you that will warm your heart thoroughly by the end of it. I am so glad I did this!!!!!
