Tips

If you wish to extend the trip, consider adding a full day to explore South Goa’s pristine beaches such as Palolem and the historic Church of St. Francis of Assisi. To shorten the itinerary, you can skip the spice plantation and combine the market visit with the morning of Day 3, saving a few hours while still capturing the essential Goan vibe.
