Time zone in Goa is : GMT+05:30
Goa was christened the "Pearl of the Orient" by the Portuguese 500 years ago and during that period left a lasting impression on the local population and landscape. Recognized as a hippie haven in the 70\'s, the Goa of today is now a hip and happening destination for A-listers getting away from it all. A more laid-back, version of India, Goa has transformed into a cosmopolitan tourist trap lined with five-star resorts, boutique guesthouses, and villas remodeled for international travelers. In many ways, Goa is the perfect introduction to a country that can be very challenging for the uninitiated.
Time zone in Bali is : GMT+08:00
Denpasar may not be far from the usual touristy resort areas of Bali, but the moment you transcend to the capital of Bali, a change in atmosphere is clearly felt. The laid back beach lifestyle is instantly changed to a bustling city. Not as hectic as you may think a capital city to be, and the lack of skyscrapers, due to a Balinese custom that disallows buildings to be taller than a coconut tree, gives way for blue skies. Apart from the many busy Balinese buzzing around on their scooters, many monuments and temples can be seen around the city. Catch a glimpse of the traditional markets at Pasar Badung and see the magnificent colors of fresh produce and colorful batiks up for offer.
