  2. Day 2: Dudhsagar Falls
    2 hours (66.1 km) from Baga Beach

    A trip to Goa is incomplete without a visit to the Dudhsagar Falls. A four-tiered waterfall set against a lush green background, this place is one of Goa's most popular tourist attractions. Take a refreshing dip in the cool waters, or enjoy a soothing massage under the falls. Trek to the top for a breathtaking view of the falls.

    Old Goa is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that is home to several ancient churches and cathedrals, including the Basilica of Bom Jesus, which houses the remains of St. Francis Xavier. Visit the Se Cathedral, the largest church in Asia and explore the Museum of Christian Art and Archeological Museum. Don't miss out on buying local cashew nuts and Goan liquor at the market nearby.

Useful Tips

You can add Arambol Beach to your itinerary for Day 1, if you have more time. It is a quieter beach in North Goa, around 1 hour from Baga. Shopaholics can head to the Anjuna Flea Market on Day 3, which is only 30 minutes away from Old Goa. In case you have lesser time, skip Old Goa and head straight to the beaches for some fun in the sun and water.
