Tips

If you have extra days, consider adding a day trip to the pristine Dudhsagar Waterfall and a wildlife safari in Bondla Reserve. To shorten the itinerary, combine the North and South beach visits by focusing on either Calangute/Anjuna or Palolem/Colva, and skip the spice plantation if time is limited.
