Spice up your Goa escape with a plantation visit

SEASON'S BEST

Fragrant trail and stories rooted in tradition await visitors at spice farms in Goa. These are windows into how communities live with nature, pass on knowledge, and invite visitors into the everyday magic of spices.

NATURE ON DISPLAY

Expect open-air trails under shady trees, pepper vines winding overhead, and wide paths at Pascoal Spice Village, which is nestled by a creek in Khandepar, North Goa.

GAURDIANS OF THE FOREST

Set against the lush Netravali Wildlife Sanctuary, Tanshikar is a family-run space known for growing spices organically, protecting bees, and offering eco-tours that celebrate biodiversity and balance.

SPICE, CULTURE AND ADVENTURE

Nandanvan blends spice plantation charm with cultural heritage and outdoor thrills, and features monsoon trails, a traditional Goan heritage house tour, local cuisine, ziplining, kayaking and family-friendly spaces.

TOURIST FAVOURITE

Just off the main road in Keri (Ponda), Tropical Spice Plantation is one of Goa’s most popular spice plantations. The tour includes demos and tastings, and often ends with a leisurely elephant ride.

LIVELY, LOUD AND LOCAL

Sahakari in Ponda is a spice farm with flair. The guides are theatrical, the tastings generous, and the buffet spicy. You’ll leave with laughs, trivia about every seed, and maybe a bottle of feni.

GOAN LIFE IN FOCUS

Goa’s spice farms offer a glimpse into local life, how spices are grown, meals are shared, and traditions are lived. Whether you're here to learn, taste, or explore, the experience stays with you for years to come.
