Goan Corner. The Bouldering Center

Set amongst one of the most idyllic backdrops in India and perhaps the world, The Goan Corner is a travellers and climbers paradise. Founded in 1998 by Thakur and Sharmilla, one in the kitchen, the other serving, the two of them managed to build up a reputation that lead them to finally acquiring their premises on this side of the river, ‘Hampi Island’. Many people thought that it wouldn’t work as it was away from the main strip but what once seemed to hinder people, turned out to be its biggest asset and now hosts a mixture of climbers and travellers from around the world who come back time and time again.
