India's favourite beach destination. Search flights and hotels from 200+ platforms and find the best price for your Goa trip.
North Goa (Calangute, Baga, Anjuna) is louder, livelier and cheaper — perfect for first-timers who want beach shacks, nightlife and easy transport.
South Goa (Palolem, Agonda, Colva) is quieter, cleaner and more scenic. Better for couples and anyone wanting to actually relax on a beach without a DJ.
Our take: spend 2 nights in the north to experience it, then shift south for the remainder of your trip.
Goa is not just seafood (though the seafood is exceptional). Must-tries: prawn balchão, fish thali at a local joint, beef croquettes, and bebinca for dessert.
For cheap and good: eat where the sign is in Konkani and the menu has no photos. The best prawn curry in Goa is never at a beach-facing restaurant.
Avoid: the "continental breakfast" at any place that calls itself a resort.
Rent a scooter — it is the only way to actually explore Goa. Insurance is included with reputable rentals. Expect to pay ₹300–400/day.
Taxis are expensive and unmetered. Always negotiate before getting in. The Goa Miles app is better than hailing.
The state bus service (Kadamba) connects major towns cheaply but runs infrequently. Good for Panaji to Margao.
October to March is the dry season — beaches are clean, weather is pleasant (28–32°C), and everything is open.
December and January are peak season: prices spike 2–3x, beaches are crowded, and you need to book accommodation months ahead.
April–May is hot (35°C+) and some beach shacks close. June–September is monsoon — most of Goa shuts down, but it is beautiful if you like the rain and hate crowds.
