Best time to visit Goa
November to February — dry, 28–32°C, everything open, sea calm.
June to September monsoon: shacks closed, sea off-limits, though Goa is lush and hotels are cheap. April–May is hot and humid.

Questions we get asked about Goa
North Goa or South Goa?
North for beach shacks, nightlife and markets (Baga, Anjuna, Vagator); South for quiet, cleaner beaches and resorts (Palolem, Colva, Cavelossim). Families and couples usually prefer South; groups prefer North.
Best time to visit Goa?
November to February. December is peak and pricey; January–February has the same weather for less.
How much does a Goa trip cost?
Our 4-night package starts at ₹17,900 per person with hotel, transfers and a North Goa sightseeing day. Add flights and ₹1,500–3,000 a day.
Is Goa open in monsoon?
Yes, but it is a different trip: swimming is unsafe, most shacks shut, and the draw is greenery, spice farms and Dudhsagar falls at full flow. Hotels are 40–60% cheaper.
