Start your trip with a day at Calangute Beach, known for its golden sand and clear water. Take a dip in the Arabian Sea, relax under the sun, and enjoy the many beach shacks and water sports. Don't miss the Baga Beach flea market, where you can find local handicrafts and souvenirs.
Start your day in Old Goa, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its colonial architecture. Visit the Basilica of Bom Jesus, where the remains of St. Francis Xavier are kept, and the Se Cathedral, one of the largest churches in Asia. Walk through the picturesque streets and enjoy some traditional Goan cuisine at a local restaurant.
Visit a spice plantation to learn about the different spices that are grown in Goa and enjoy a delicious lunch made with fresh ingredients. Next, head to the Dudhsagar Waterfalls, one of the highest waterfalls in India. Take a dip in the natural pool, hike to the top for breathtaking views, and enjoy the lush greenery of the forest.
If you have more time, consider visiting Fort Aguada, a 17th-century Portuguese fort with stunning views of the Arabian Sea, or taking a cruise on the Mandovi River. If you have less time, you can skip the spice plantation tour or the Dudhsagar Waterfalls and spend more time at the beach. Remember to wear sunscreen, carry enough water, and respect the local culture and traditions.
