Goa is more than a holiday

14/11/2016

0 Comments

 
Goa is a small state in West India located by the Arabian Sea. Whether you are hungry for adventure, a warm climate, a close encounter with nature or chilling in the sun, Goa is a good choice. Take a break from your cooler climate.
The best time to go to Goa is during the winter from October to March, where the temperatures ranges from 21.3 degrees C to 32.2 degrees C.  The winter is also by far the most visited season. If you prefere to visit Goa, when it's not quite so crowded, but still offers a beautiful climate, choose to go from January to the beginning of April, where you are also likely to save a few bob.

Explore Goa

Goa is so much more than a holiday. You can make it anything you like, because it has so much to offer. You can go crocodile watching, visit a spice plantation, a night market or a tempel and you can ride an elephant in Goa among other attractions.

You can choose to start your relationship with Goa on a multi-day tour of 3 to 10 days duration, and you can combine your adventure with a week or two in a very affordable beach bungalow or a Goa hotel and just enjoy the laid back atmosphere . . .


Where to stay in Goa

Depending on your budget, you can stay in a 5-star luxury hotel or live out your secret hippie-dream in a beach bungalow on a palm-fringed beach.

We have handpicked our choice of accommodation and collected a few details about Canacona and Benaulim in South Goa and Mandrem and Calangute in North Goa to make it easier to plan your trip.
