Vast open fields surround the empty roads and rustic settlements are dotted with Portuguese-style houses, churches, and ancient temples. This is the kind of place where you\u2019d feel like slowing down and reflecting on life. A ferry ride from Old Goa gets you to Divar Island, which is situated nearly 10 km from Panaji\/Panjim.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tropical_Spice_Plantation_Tour_A_Treat_to_the_Senses\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tropical Spice Plantation Tour: A Treat to the Senses<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A rejuvenating experience is what awaits you at Tropical Spice Plantation located in Keri of North Goa.
