💡 Travel Tips
💰 Stay in homestays and guesthouses in Calangute or Palolem instead of beach resorts to save 40-50% on accommodation while enjoying authentic local experiences and home-cooked meals.
📅 October to March is ideal, offering pleasant weather (25-30°C), minimal rainfall, and perfect beach conditions for water activities. Avoid May-September monsoon season when heavy rains and rough seas make beach activities challenging.
🛂 Indian passport holders do not require a visa to visit Goa as it is a state within India. A valid Indian ID proof like Aadhaar, PAN card, or passport is sufficient for domestic travel.
