Begin your trip with a relaxing day at Palolem Beach. Nestled in a small bay, it's a perfect spot for sunbathing and swimming. You can also take a boat ride to see nearby dolphins or try your hand at kayaking. Enjoy exotic food, refreshing drinks, and indulge in an Ayurvedic massage to unwind.
Explore the history of the state with a visit to Old Goa. Founded in the 15th century, the city is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Admire the ruins of the 17th-century Basilica of Bom Jesus, which houses the mortal remains of St. Francis Xavier. Later, head to the Anjuna Flea Market, offering an array of clothing, jewelry, handicrafts, and souvenirs. Stroll the colorful lanes, and grab a bite from the food stalls.
End your trip with a refreshing visit to Dudhsagar Falls. Located on the Mandovi river, the stunning falls cascade down 310 meters amidst lush greenery. Hike to the base or take a dip in the refreshing pool of water. Later, proceed to Arambol Beach, a serene and less crowded beach with unique rock formations. Savor seafood, stretch on the golden sands and witness enchanting sunsets.
If you have extra time, you can explore the nearby beaches of Colva, Baga, and Candolim, or indulge in watersports at Calangute beach. For spiritual peace, visit the Shri Mangueshi Temple or the Mahalaxmi Temple. If you have less time, you can skip Dudhsagar Falls and devote more time to exploring the beaches. Avoid visiting during the monsoon season (June-September) as most places remain closed.
