Start your day with a visit to the Chapora Fort, located on the Chapora River. This 17th-century fort offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscapes, including the Arabian Sea, Chapora beach and nearby villages. The fort was made famous by the Bollywood movie "Dil Chahta Hai" and has become a major tourist attraction in recent years. Take a leisurely stroll along the fort walls and spend some time soaking in the scenic view of the horizon. Since the fort is located on a hill, it is recommended to wear comfortable shoes and carry water to stay hydrated.
After visiting the fort, head to the Anjuna Beach, known for its spectacular sunset views, flea markets, and water sports activities. You can spend the afternoon lounging on the sandy beach, enjoying some local seafood, or indulging in different water activities like parasailing, jet skiing, and banana boat ride. You can also explore the nearby Anjuna Flea Market, which offers an array of clothes, jewelry, and souvenirs.
Spend your second day indulging in wellness activities around the Ashvem Beach. Participate in a morning yoga session at one of the many yoga retreats or sign up for an Ayurveda massage or spa session for a truly rejuvenating experience. You can also take a soothing dip in the hot springs of Vaguram or enjoy a picnic at the nearby Morjim Beach which is known for its exotic birdlife.
End your day with a serene sunset river cruise on the Mandovi River. Experience the beauty of the river and take in the sight of the sun melting into the sea. You can also enjoy some Goan folk songs performed live on the boat while savoring some delicious seafood and drinks. The cruise is a fitting end to a relaxing two-day stay in Goa.
If you have more time, consider adding a visit to the beautiful St. Augustine Tower. If you have less time, you can skip the visit to Chapora Fort and opt for an extra day of relaxation at the beach. Make sure to keep yourself hydrated throughout the trip and try local Goan cuisine. Additionally, avoid visiting during the monsoon season as some locations may be closed due to heavy rainfall.
