An early morning trip to South Goa is worth it

BREAK OF DAWN

Goa during the winters is a different place to be despite being a tropical paradise. There’s something magical about the first light of day breaking over the horizon.

GENTLE AWAKENING

The early hours of the winter mornings are quieter, as empty stretches of road lined with lush greenery unfold before you and the sun casts its golden rays through the canopy of trees.

HEAD SOUTH!

One of the most fulfilling activities you can undertake is a road trip to the south of Goa. The charm of this journey lies not just in the destination but in the serenity of the early morning hours.

WANDERLUST

The best route to take is the NH66 towards Galgibaga, which is dotted with some amazing views along the way.

AWAKEN YOUR SENSES

After leaving Panjim and driving past the Zuari bridge, the first beautiful view you will get to see is of the paddy fields on the Verna bypass. The morning fog adds another layer of charm to the landscape.

SUNSHINE FOR THE SOUL

As you drive towards Canacona via Cuncolim, you will see the sun rise between the mountains casting its soft glow on them casting long shadows.

RIVER'S MELODY

Driving past Canacona town, look at the breathtaking views from Talpona and Galgibaga bridges. You’ll likely spot fishermen gliding through the river in their boats.

A JOURNEY WORTH IT

At the end, you will arrive at Galgibaga Beach, regarded as one of the cleanest in Goa. It's a protected turtle nesting site that is so far untouched by the ills of tourism.
