Goa Tour Packages From Mumbai

Much of the temples that existed back then were destroyed due to the Portuguese's intention to spread Christianity all over the land. Apart from churches, you will also find other forms of architecture such as forts and galleries. Some examples being Aguada Fort, Sinquerim Fort, The House of the Seven Gables and Velha Goa Galeria.

To not talk about Goa's beaches would be a massive disappointment. There are numerous beaches all over Goa that you can explore such as the Palolem Beach, Calangute Beach and Baga Beach. Beaches are the best part about Goa because there is something for everyone to enjoy: you can play beach volleyball, build sandcastles, simply walk around; or go parasailing, surfing and jet skiing.

Goa is also famous for its local cuisine and liquor. You can try dishes from its cuisine such as xacuti, vindaloo, sarapatel, feijoada, cafreal, sanna or enjoy a local alcoholic beverage such as feni and uruk.

The festivals in Goa are another reason to lure tourists there. The Carnival Festival, Christmas and New Year's celebrations are hands down the best in Goa.

Goa is home to some of the most beautiful beaches such as Baga, Palolem and Sinquerim Beach. The architecture of its magnificent churches is so unique that it has secured for itself a place in UNESCO'S World Heritage List. Bom Jesus Basilica and Se Cathedral are two prime examples. Goa owes much of its architecture to the Portuguese who resided there and made it their home. Missionaries also came to Goa and spread the word of the Good Lord Jesus Christ.

Best Time to Visit Goa

Summers in Goa (March to June)

Temperatures in Goa reach as high as 40 degree Celsius during summers. Therefore, this is probably not the best time to visit Goa.

The hotel prices usually decline around this time because there isn't a great tourist crowd during summers. Some festivals that you can enjoy in Goa around this time are the Shigmo Festival and the Sao Joao Festival.

However, just like summers, you will not be able to enjoy the beach life in its full bloom. But, you are always welcome to enjoy the lush green forests of Goa by visiting the National Parks and Wildlife Sanctuaries.

Winters in Goa (November to February)
