Start your trip with a visit to the Calangute Beach, a popular beach destination with white sand and clear water. You can enjoy swimming, sunbathing, and water sports here. In the evening, take a walk along the beach and enjoy the sunset. There are also many food options available nearby.
Take a day trip to the Dudhsagar Falls, a four-tiered waterfall located on the Mandovi River. The falls are surrounded by lush greenery, and you can go trekking or take a jeep safari to reach them. Swimming is not allowed, but you can enjoy the stunning view and take memorable pictures.
Visit the Fort Aguada, a 17th-century Portuguese fort with fascinating history and architecture. You can explore the fort and enjoy the scenic view of the Arabian sea from its ramparts. Afterward, head to the Sinquerim Beach, a serene and clean beach with golden sand and calm waves. You can go for swimming or hire a boat and enjoy other water activities.
If you have more time, you can go to other famous beaches like Baga and Anjuna or explore the historic city of Old Goa. If you have less time, skip the Dudhsagar Falls trip, or combine Day 2 and Day 3 together. Make sure to bring sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun, and to wear appropriate clothing when visiting religious sites. Avoid drinking tap water and bargaining at local markets is expected, so don't hesitate to negotiate.
