Escape the crowds and simply enjoy a rainy day in Goa by doing these things that will leave you with a feeling of tranquility and bliss.
During the monsoons, waking up in the morning can be quite a challenge. But, if you're looking to explore Goa, the morning is the best time, when the hills and landscape are enveloped in fog.
Head to a remote Goan village! Surrounded by verdant landscapes, these hidden gems offer anything from refreshing waterfall dips to breathtaking views to soak in. A hilltop village or one nestled amidst lush plantations – the choice is yours!
If you're in North Goa, you could opt for places such as Valpoi, Pernem, Sanquelim, etc where there are quite a number of hidden waterfalls, whereas in South Goa, you can experience Goa's agricultural heritage in places like Netravali and Canacona.
So, you've chosen your destination, now, let's pick the perfect activity! The monsoon transforms Goa into a birdwatcher's paradise, and you'll be able to spot a number of avian species at this time of year.
At this time of year, photography enthusiasts will get a chance to capture stunning images of people, gorgeous landscapes and agricultural scenes, or simply create lasting memories with friends.
Comfort first! Choose your wheels based on your style. Adventurous spirit? Opt for a geared adventure bike. Craving comfort for a group getaway? Rent a cab and enjoy the drive with your friends.
Skip the tourist traps! Instead, ask any local, and they'll point you towards a hidden gem – a local breakfast joint serving steaming cups of tea or coffee alongside a hearty meal. It's the perfect way to start your Goan adventure!
