Best Time To Visit Goa

Summer

From March to June, the scorching heat during the afternoon and evening, with temperatures going as high as 40°C, as well as the humidity brought on by the coastal winds, the weather in Goa is not as comfortable as it is otherwise. However, during the morning, and later towards the end of the day, when the sun isn’t out in full force, the breezy beaches are still wonderful for a walk. Depending on the tides, the sea may not be as friendly, but the temperature is still agreeable in the mornings for a quick dip. Since this isn’t peak season for tourists, Goa isn’t so crowded, so If you’re in a pinch and are working on a tight budget, a Goa trip from Ahmedabad in the summer may still be worth it.

Monsoon

We’re still not in peak season yet, and considering that Goa is famous for its sunny beaches, it is easy to understand why the cloudy monsoon that lasts from July to September is not so appealing to people. That being said, there’s still plenty to enjoy here. Due to the overcast skies and the harsh seas during the rains, going out to the beaches may not be a good idea. However, Goa’s natural splendor is in full bloom, so nature lovers will be able to witness the state at the top of its serenity. Dudhsagar Falls is especially amazing this time of year. Temperatures don’t go beyond 30°C either, so the weather is also pleasant.

Post Monsoon

Goa experiences the “October heat” phenomenon that other states in this region experience, too, where temperatures actually go up a bit. A Goa trip from Ahmedabad during this time will let you experience the rising heat in the temperature after the monsoon. This is a strange period of time when the rains have subsided almost entirely, but the weather isn’t quite wintry just yet. Despite all of this, it’s still a great time to visit the place, with the beaches now more accessible than they were during the monsoon, while still maintaining the green luster that has coated the surroundings.

Winter

This is it, this is the best time to visit Goa, and there are so many reasons why. The climate is perfect, with temperatures hovering around 22°C, the beaches are their sunny best, and the waters are finally open for all manner of activities and adventure sports. Scuba diving, surfing, water skiing, it’s all open for your enjoyment. On top of that, November to February is packed with events, from music festivals to various end-of-the-year celebrations. If you’re looking to close out the calendar on a high note, spending your winter in Goa through a Goa trip from Ahmedabad will offer you with a blast.

How To Reach Goa From Ahmedabad

By Air

Air travel to Goa is quite convenient since it has its own airport. It is located in the city of Dabolim, which is just 4 km from Vasco da Gama, and about 30 km from state capital Panaji. Flying from Ahmedabad’s Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport to Dabolim Airport takes about 2 hours in a direct flight, but there are plenty of indirect flights that stop in Mumbai which will take upwards of 5 hours. Making it into the city from the airport is also a painless process with plenty of taxis available at the taxi stand.

By Train

Traveling from Ahmedabad to Goa is a long journey. On a direct train, of which there are 10 available each day, the 1000 km train ride from Ahmednagar Junction to Madgaon Junction is a 17-hour commitment at least. The 27 indirect trains between the two stations take even longer, with some journeys taking up the entire day.

By Road

A road trip from Ahmedabad to Goa is, simply put, an Odyssey. With more than 1000 km to cover, it takes over a day to reach the finish line. Bus journeys last about 27 hours. If you happen to have a private car of yours and decide to take it on this marathon of a drive, you will have a decent chunk of Gujarat and Maharashtra to explore on the way there.
