Goa Tour Overview
Goa is a small coastal state with a long beach line, Portuguese era churches and old Hindu temples. North Goa is lively, with Calangute, Baga, Anjuna and Vagator. South Goa, with Palolem, Colva and Agonda, is calmer. The churches and convents of Old Goa, including the Basilica of Bom Jesus, are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and Dudhsagar Falls on the border with Karnataka is a popular day trip.
We plan the trip around your dates, group and budget. A 4 day plan covers North and South Goa, and you can add Old Goa, Ponda temples or Dudhsagar. Pilgrims who also want to visit Mata Vaishno Devi can join our Vaishno Devi helicopter package from Panaji, a 3 day trip with the Katra to Sanjichhat helicopter.

|---|---|---|
| November to February | Winter | Pleasant and dry, the best time for beaches, water sports and sightseeing. Christmas and New Year week is the busiest and costliest period. |
| March to May | Summer | Hot and humid. Beaches are quieter and prices are lower, so plan sightseeing early in the morning and in the evening. |
| June to September | Monsoon | Green and wet. Many beach shacks and water sports close, and swimming in the sea is unsafe. Dudhsagar trips can be limited, but waterfalls and hills look their best. |

Travel Tips for Goa
- Pick the season. November to February is the easiest time. In the monsoon many shacks and water sports close and the sea is rough.
- Book early for Christmas and New Year. Hotels fill up and rates rise sharply. Book weeks ahead for these dates.
- Respect the sea. Obey red flag warnings and lifeguard advice, and avoid swimming after drinking or at night.
- Drink responsibly, and do not drive after drinking. Rules on alcohol and drink driving are strictly enforced. If you rent a scooter, carry a valid licence and wear a helmet.
- Dress modestly at churches and temples. Cover shoulders and knees, and be ready to remove shoes at temples.
- Use licensed operators. For water sports, boat rides and the Dudhsagar jeep, book through licensed operators and agree prices first.
- Carry some cash. Cards and UPI work in most places, but small shacks and markets may prefer cash.
- Carry photo ID. Every traveller should keep a valid ID for hotel check-in and entry tickets.
This is a likely schedule. The tour manager may adjust it for weather, road conditions or local rules.
