Useful tips

If you have more time, explore the eclectic beach shacks and golden sand beaches of North Goa. The vibrant nightlife and flea markets at Anjuna and Baga beaches are a must-visit. Adventurers can go for a hot air balloon safari or scuba diving at Grande Island.

If you have less time, you can skip Divar Island and add a visit to the Mangueshi Temple and Old Goa Church instead. Don't forget to carry sunscreen, mosquito repellent, comfortable shoes, and sufficient cash as most places don't accept cards.
