Many people travel from Dehradun to Goa for a change of scenery, swapping the Himalayan foothills for Goa's beaches and relaxed atmosphere. Goa offers a mix of Portuguese-influenced architecture, vibrant nightlife, and a slower pace of life compared to Dehradun.

Best time to fly

The best time to visit Goa is from November to February. The weather is dry and sunny, ideal for beach activities and exploring. However, this is also peak tourist season, so expect higher prices.

Getting from the airport to Goa

Dabolim Airport (GOI) is well-connected to Goa. Pre-paid taxis are available outside the terminal, costing approximately ₹800-₹1200 to reach Panjim. You can also take a local bus to Vasco da Gama and then connect to other parts of Goa, which is a cheaper option.

Things to do in Goa

Visit Calangute Beach, one of Goa's most popular beaches, for water sports and shacks. Explore Fort Aguada, a historic Portuguese fort offering panoramic views. Discover the Basilica of Bom Jesus, a UNESCO World Heritage Site housing the remains of St. Francis Xavier. Take a spice plantation tour to learn about Goan spices and cuisine.

Food to try

Try Goan fish curry, a flavorful coconut-based curry served with rice. Sample vindaloo, a spicy Portuguese-influenced curry, usually made with pork. Don't miss bebinca, a traditional Goan layered cake.

Local tips

Bargain when shopping at local markets, as prices are often negotiable. Be respectful of local customs and dress modestly when visiting religious sites. Be aware of currents when swimming in the sea.
