Start your trip in Goa by exploring the capital city of Panaji. You can visit the Basilica of Bom Jesus, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Se Cathedral, one of the largest churches in Asia. Next up, head to the Fontainhas Heritage Walk, one of the oldest Latin Quarters in Asia. You can explore the colorful Portuguese-style houses and cafes while enjoying some local cuisine. Post-lunch, visit the Miramar Beach and admire the stunning sunset view along the coastline. If time permits, hop in to the Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary to witness the lush green surroundings and diverse bird species.
Start your day early by embarking on an adventurous jeep safari into the Mollem National Park that stretches over 107 sq km. Here you can marvel at the breathtaking waterfalls; Dudhsagar Waterfalls, cascading down from a height of 310 meters and the Tambdi Surla Waterfalls, which is a serene spot hidden in the forest. If you are a nature enthusiast, you can trek through the moss-covered forests, bird watch or take a few colorful butterfly photographs. In the evening, head to the Goa State Museum, where you can learn about Goa's history, art, and culture.
If you have more time to spare, take a day-trip to the Chapora Fort, which has scenic views of the Arabian Sea, the Anjuna Flea Market, where you can buy some souvenirs to take back home, and the Baga Beach, which is known for its nightlife. For a relaxing day out, you can visit the Candolim Beach and enjoy some water sports activities like jet-skiing, parasailing, and banana boat rides. Alternatively, if you have less time, you can skip Mollem National Park and visit the Shri Mangeshi Temple instead, which is famous for its unique architecture and history.
