the mac daddy is hilltop in Vagator, northern Goa
it had its heyday but is still a good one to hit
the cover last season was 2000 rupees which all the hippies balked at cuz it used to be free entry
but for the past coupla years the dudes runnin this party haven't been playing the sympathy vote for the hippie travelers
so ultimately most people do pay that
i recommend finding a different party to spend the actually midnight hour at and show up to hilltop just before dawn
hilltop overnight has never been great...it's those sunrise and daylong sets that are super sweet.

get to goa a week beforehand and get in the mix with other travelers to hear about other parties
to get the scoop on all the parties mingle at these popular raver spots:
--shiva's place on spaghetti beach, not far from hill top in Vagator
--9 Bar, little vagator
--curlie's in south anjuna are both places
--piya guest house, arambol

p.s. the parties are also amazing on christmas, if you happen to be there that early
