One of the prettiest settings in the north Goa, Vagator and Chapora charm lies in the series of rusty cliffs, unheralded greenery and picturesque background. Vagator and Chapora are two small villages, which are the center of wild parties. The place is always crowded with religious party buffs and backpackers. They set camp here for many days, sometimes for months. Vagator lies at the northern end of the Calangute beach and gained popularity because of its obscurity and famous Chapora Fort.

Vagator and Chapora is a nice place to observe the rural life of Goa. A fishing village, Chapora is a home to number villagers in traditional attire. The women here are housewives as well as sellers. In their colorful dresses they are seen higgling and pawning fish by the roadside. Touring around the village is a nice experience where old people have numerous stories of sea. Vagator is much younger beach than Anjuna. The beach also hold many trance parties and an attractive place for swimming. Chapora has no beach but famous for its ancient fort and rural life. There are small roadside beer pubs that sell cheap booze. A freaky 'Doctor Death' clinic is not the right place for treatment but surely a disturbingly provocative thing to see. A pharmacy where no one even get a headache tablet but plenty morphine based product available.
