Start your trip with Calangute Beach, one of the busiest and most popular tourist spots. Take a dip in the sea or relax on the sand. Known as the “Queen of Beaches,” Calangute is a hub for water sports and beach activities. End your day with a beautiful sunset view.
Begin the day with a visit to Fort Aguada, a well-preserved 17th-century Portuguese fort. With a gorgeous view of the sea, the fort is a perfect spot for photography lovers. Then, head over to Sinquerim Beach for serene relaxation. The beach, known for its calm waters and birdwatching opportunities, is also a great place for water sports.
Take a day trip to see the magnificent Dudhsagar Falls, a four-tiered waterfall located on the Mandovi River. The trek to this natural wonder takes about 1.5 hours, and the sight is nothing short of spectacular. Wrap up your trip with a visit to a spice plantation and tour of the plantation to see fresh spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
If you have more time, consider exploring other beaches like Baga, Anjuna, and Vagator. Also, visit the lively Panaji Market, a shopping hub for local knick-knacks. If you have less time, drop the spice plantation visit and focus on exploring other beaches and forts. But don't forget to try Goan cuisine, which is a blend of Indian and Portuguese flavors.
