Begin your first day in Goa by visiting the iconic Immaculate Conception Church. Built-in 1609, this beautiful church features a stunning façade with a huge bell and a grand staircase. Explore the interior with intricate carvings and altars laden with gold. The church is open from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm and 3:30 pm to 7:30 pm, so make sure you come within those hours. Afterward, wander around the charming neighborhood and enjoy some local street food at the nearby food stall.
On your second day, head to Dudhsagar Waterfalls, located on the eastern border of Goa. It is one of the tallest waterfalls in India with a height of 310 meters. You can reach the waterfalls by a 4x4 drive or trekking uphill for about 1.5 hours. Once you reach the falls, enjoy swimming in the icy-cold water and take stunning photos. The waterfall is open from 8 am to 5 pm, and the entry fee is INR 400 per person. Afterward, enjoy a picnic with your family and friends by carrying food items and refreshments.
On the third day, visit the famous Anjuna Beach, which is known for its black rock formations and calm waters. The scenic beauty and cool sea breeze make it one of the most beautiful beaches in Goa. You can try some water sports if you want, such as banana boat ride, parasailing, and jet skiing. Indulge in seafood delicacies, sip cocktails, and watch the sunset to experience a serene atmosphere. Keep in mind that the beach is crowded during the peak season, so plan accordingly.
If you have extra time, visit Aguada Fort, located 19 minutes (10.7 km) from Immaculate Conception Church. Explore the 4- storied lighthouse, the fort bastion, and a stunning view of the sea. If you are a party lover, indulge yourself in the nightlife scenes of Goa. You can subtract one day if you have less time and explore either the Churches in Old Goa or beaches in North Goa.
