Travel Tips

Rent a scooter for the most convenient way to explore - costs about 300-500 INR per day.

Visit during the Carnival in February for parades, music, and festivities.

The south is quieter and more scenic, while the north has more nightlife and tourist infrastructure.

Try local Goan cuisine - fish curry rice, vindaloo, bebinca, and feni (local cashew spirit).

Carry sunscreen and stay hydrated - the tropical sun is strong even during winter months.

Book accommodation in advance during peak season (December-January) as prices surge significantly.

Be cautious of strong currents at some beaches - swim only at beaches with lifeguards on duty.
