Why Goa is the Ultimate Travel Destination

What sets Goa apart is its mix of picturesque scenery, cultural depth and depth in entertainment measures. Each nook of Goa has its story - colonial style churches and heritage mansions in Old Goa, flea markets, lively beach shacks or tranquil spice plantations inland. Goa is not just a tourist destination, but an experience that combines culture with place, enticing not only tourists and party-goers, but also and industry professionals around the globe. Year after year, millions of tourists, party-goers, industry professionals and locals visit Goa's unique geography, cosmopolitan sensibility and legacy of festivals, music and arts.

Best Time to Visit & Must-See Attractions in Goa

The ideal time to visit Goa is from November to February when the weather is cool enough to do anything under the sun - lounging on the beach, sight-seeing, outdoor events, and more. The monsoon season (June to September) completely transforms Goa into a lush green paradise, which is great for photographers, but limits many outdoor activities. Summers (March to May) can become brutal, extremely hot and humid, making it better suited for luxurious staycations or indoor shoots.

A few must see locations include:

• Basilica of Bom Jesus: A fascinating UNESCO World Heritage Site dating back to Old Goa, and famous for having the mortal remains of St. Francis Xavier.
• Fort Aguada: A carefully preserved, 17th century Portuguese fort that overlooks the Arabian Sea.
• Calangute and Baga Beaches: These beaches are popular for night parties, vibrant nightlife, and plenty of watersports.
• Anjuna Flea Market: A colorful flea market that attracts many visitors looking for souvenirs, ethnic handicrafts, clothes, and jewelry.
• Chapora Fort: A favorite location for sunset views, and for the breathtaking views in all directions.
• Dudhsagar Waterfalls: One of the tallest waterfalls in India, excellent for adventurers hiking to their destinations, and for those looking for the perfect Instagram photo.
• Spice Plantations: If you'd like to know what horticultural and agricultural heritage Goa represents, the spice plantations in Ponda offer guided tours.

The monsoon is the most beautiful time of year for film and photography people, when beautiful green landscapes abound and the dry season is best for clear sunny skies (especially for beach shoots).
