India (including Goa) uses a 230V, 50Hz system, which is the same as in the UK. So you won't have to worry about using a voltage adapter; you just need to be able to match your appliances to the correct pin configuration.

Like many developing countries, India has several different plug types in use (often within the same building). The most common type is the same as the old UK '3 pin round' plug. To see the various types, go here:

Hi there, just come back from Goa.

You can buy adapters there for about 40p - every street vendor seems to sell them and the various street markets have more of them than you can shake a stick at!!

Great place to go to is Palolem Beach - tranquility, peace, great food / hospitality and beatiful sunsets!

Lobster Thermadore for under �6!!! A bottle of beer for under 50p!!

Never wanted to leave!

Enjoy!
