About Goa
Goa is India's smallest state and its most liberating. Portuguese cathedrals sit a short drive from beach shacks serving cold Kingfisher. The north delivers party beaches, all-night clubs, and flea markets; the south gives you empty stretches of sand, yoga retreats, and paddy fields rolling to the sea. Either way, the pace drops the moment you land.

Things to do
Baga & Calangute Beach
The liveliest stretch of North Goa — beach shacks, water sports, and spectacular sunset sessions.
Dudhsagar Falls
A four-tier, 310 m waterfall deep inside Bhagwan Mahavir Wildlife Sanctuary — one of India's tallest.
Basilica of Bom Jesus
A UNESCO World Heritage church holding the remains of St Francis Xavier, built by the Portuguese in 1605.
Spice Plantation Tour
Walk through working plantations in Ponda where cardamom, pepper, and vanilla grow together in the shade.
Anjuna Flea Market
Every Wednesday since the 1960s — Kashmiri traders, Rajasthani silver, vintage clothing, and sunset beats.
Palolem Beach, South Goa
A crescent-shaped bay lined with wooden huts, silent discos at midnight, and dolphins at dawn.
What makes it special
Goan Seafood
Fish curry rice is the daily staple. Prawn balchão, crab xec xec, and sorpotel round out the table.
Feni
Goa's indigenous spirit — distilled from cashew apple or coconut toddy. Try it neat, cold, at a beach shack.
Portuguese Architecture
Fontainhas in Panaji is India's only surviving Latin Quarter — tiled facades, iron balconies, and chapels.
Water Sports
Parasailing, jet skiing, banana boat rides, and kayaking at Baga, Dona Paula, and Candolim.
