Begin your adventure in Goa by visiting India's fifth-largest waterfall, the Dudhsagar Waterfalls. The waterfalls are located on the Mandovi River, and the fall creates a majestic sight to behold. Trekking is one of the most popular activities here, and the dense jungle surrounding the area makes for an adventurous hike. Spend the day exploring the falls and enjoy bathing and swimming in the natural pools, and make sure to bring your camera to capture the gorgeous scenery.
Embark on a trip to Grand Island for a day full of adventure. Try out activities such as scuba diving, snorkelling, and parasailing. You can also choose to relax on the beautiful sandy beaches; break for a leisurely lunch before continuing the adventure. The island is known for colourful marine life, and you would appreciate seeing many species of fish, dolphins, whales, and other sea creatures.
Go for early-day adventure in the ecologically rich Cotigao Wildlife Sanctuary. Home to a vast array of birds, reptiles, and mammals, this sanctuary offers a natural habitat for wildlife. The park is famous for trekking in the lush green forest and thrilling encounters with rare wildlife. Enjoy the incredible beauty and natural surroundings while trekking through the park.
Finish your adventure by relaxing and unwinding Mandrem Beach, located in North Goa. The beach offers a serene environment surrounded by palm trees. You can enjoy a beautiful sunset, take a stroll on the beach or spend time parasailing, water skiing or surfing. Mandrem Beach offers scenic and amazing ocean views; ensure to take lots of pictures. Spend the night at the famous beach shacks and savour Goan cuisine.
If you have more time, explore landmarks like Aguada Fort, Anjuna Beach, and Basilica of Bom Jesus. For a unique experience, book a hot-air balloon ride or river rafting. Adventure seekers can substitute Mandrem Beach with Baga Beach or Anjuna Beach to enjoy water sports and partying at nightclubs.
If you have less time, consider limiting to two or three activities. The Dudhsagar Waterfalls and Grand Island are highly recommended without missing out on Goa's charm. While trekking in the Cotigao Wildlife Sanctuary can skip for a chilled afternoon.
