COMFORT FOOD

Rainy mornings are perfect for comfort food. Enjoy some freshly made Bhaji Pao, Puri Bhaji or a hot, local snack. A hot cup of tea or coffee makes it even better.

SOAK IN THE CHARM

Step outside with an umbrella and enjoy the fresh air. Watch the rain fall over lush fields, listen to birds, and soak in the wonderful side of Goa’s beautiful outdoors.

INDOOR INDULGENCES

Stay dry and enjoy Goa’s rich history by visiting a local museum or taking a heritage home tour. It’s a perfect way to spend a rainy afternoon indoors.

FLAVOURS OF GOA

Markets, like the ones in Panjim and Mapusa, are great places to pick up local fruits, spices and snacks. It’s an easy way to carry a bit of Goa’s delightful flavours back home.
