Will Goa be too hot in May? Do I need to carry a sweater to Goa in December or January? When is it off-season in Goa? Well, these are the questions a lot of you have been asking. And why not! After...

One of the hidden gems of North Goa, Keri Beach a.k.a Querim Beach is a secluded and peaceful beach to visit in this city. Thi beach looks straight out of a postcard and is a great place to enjoy the sunset views. What I loved the most about this beach is that the entire coastline is dotted with coconut trees and there are rocky outcrops that lead to a hidden cave. Yes, you heard me right! There is a hidden cave here that you can reach during low tide. If you plan to visit Keri beach, then here are a few things to do here: 1. Watch a sunset from the beach. 2. Take a ferry to cross River Tiracol and experience a fun ferry ride. 3. Enjoy a boat tour to take in the gorgeous views of the beach. 4. Spend some time at Tiracol Heritage Hotel and enjoy a lavish meal here. 5. Enjoy a dip in the cool water of the Arabian Sea. How to Reach: You can rent a scooty or a car to reach this beach. Have you ever been to this place? 😄
Fort Tiracol is a Portuguese-era fort that is located near Tiracol village and is on the northern tip of Goa. It situated close to the river Tiracol and can be reached from Querim beach via ferry. This fort is said to have been originally constructed by Khem Sawant Bhonsle in the 17th century but was surrender to the Portuguese after a war in 1746. Since then, it was an important part of the maritime defense of the Portuguese and remained under their control till 1961. After the capture of the fort by de Almeida in 1746, a Chapel for the Holy Trinity was built in the fort's courtyard. It is now known as the Church of St. Anthony. The fort has also been converted into a Heritage hotel now and is a great place for enjoying breakfast or lunch with stunning views of the Arabian Sea. How to Reach: You can take a scooty and drive to Fort Tiracol. Another option is to ride till Querim Ferry Point and then take the free ferry to get down near Fort Tiracol. When to Visit: For enjoying a meal with the views, plan a visit in the evening as they tend to open breakfast after 11 a.m. . . . . . . . . . . . . #goa #tiracol #northgoa #southindia #indiantravelblogger #indiantraveller #girlswhotravel #travelindia #exploreindia #goadiaries #indiatravelgram #_coi #indiangirlstravel #traveldiaries #goadiaries #cntgiveitashot #nikonasia #nikond5600 #indiangirlswander #indiatravelgram #oph #maharashtra #fort #fortsofindia #heritage #heritageofindia #chapel @goatourism @sogoa @lbbgoa @wahhgoa @panjim.goa
Kalacha Beach in Arambol is one of the lesser explored beaches of Goa which is a true paradise for beach lovers. This beach is next to the Arambol Sweetwater Lake and is a great place to sunbathe, enjoy a dip in the cool water of the ocean, or go for a swim in the pleasantly cool and clean lake. Moreover, you can hike to the top of the Arambol mountain to view the gorgeous panoramic views. Plus, I love how blue the water was at this beach, unlike the other beaches in Goa. ❤️ How to Reach Kalacha Beach - You can take your scooty to the Arambol Beach and then walk towards the right side where you will find shops and cliffs. There is a raw path leading to the Kalacha beach and you can reach it within 15 minutes from Arambol beach. Best Time to Visit - Personally, I would suggest in the morning as there are fewer people around. Moreover, a swim before the noon will keep you refreshed. Have you been to this beach yet?

One of the best beaches to explore in South Goa, Cola Beach is a golden sand beach with a river flowing nearby. This point of the beach and the river meeting is known as the Blue Lagoon or Emerald Lagoon. It derived its name due to the clear green color of the water that is present here and how calm and soothing the water is. Moreover, there is lush greenery and tall palm trees surrounding the river that gives it a magical vibe. If you do visit Cola beach or choose to stay in a resort here, then here are a few things to do: 1. Visit the beautiful Butterfly Beach that is just a short distance from the beach and is a secluded spot to enjoy. 2. Enjoy a dip in the cool and calm waters of the Cola lagoon and feel all your troubles getting washed away. 3. Take part in water sports here such as kayaking and experience the beauty of the lagoon while being surrounded by the trees. 4. Stay in a resort on this beach to enjoy a relaxed vacation in Goa. 5. Hike up to different viewpoint around Cola Beach for a memorable adventure. Trust me, if you plan a trip to Goa, you cannot miss a trip to this beauty! Have you been to this beach? What was your favorite part about it? 😄
South Goa is one of my favorite destinations till now in India, especially the Palolem Beach. This beach is quite unique and is one of the few places where you would actually see the crystal clear water of the Arabian Ocean. But what I loved even more about this place was how affordable, clean, and less-touristy it was in comparison to its North-side siblings. You could kayak in the ocean for an hour for 200 INR! Moreover, there are several nearby islands to explore on a day trip from here as well. The only drawback is that is not the best accessible place by public transportation so,you would either need to hire a cab or rent a vehicle to reach here. But trust me, this is one of the few beaches that are worth the effort. ❤️ Have you ever been to South Goa? What has been your favorite Goa memory?
On my one month trip to Goa, I visited several amazing places including the offshore Casino @officialcasinopridegoa where I had one of the best nights of my life. . . Here, I got a chance to experience the Holi event like never before. We played Roulette, Black Jack, and so many other amazing games in the casino and it was my first time in a Goan offshore Casino. . . Honestly, it felt like I was in a dream. From the food to the ambiance, everything was just so amazing. And not to forget the amazing performance of @whosunilgrover that made this night even more special for me. . . If you ever visit Goa, make sure that you do spend an evening in this casino. It will be one of your best nights on the trip. ❤️❤️❤️ . . Have you ever been to a casino in Goa or someplace else?

Recently, I did sailing and Kayaking with @aquasail.india and it was just an amazing experience! They took us on three sail boats and even taught us how to sail. And then, we did kayaking for half an hour too. Sufficient to say that it was one of my most surreal experiences in Goa! If you wish to experience sailing in Goa, then you should check out @aquasail.india in Goa, they have sailing courses as well. :) #aquasail
Staying at @mercuregoadevaaya was one of the best experiences ever! They have an amazing property and have so many amazing facilities for the guests to enjoy. From ayurvedic massage to naturopathy, you will find everything here for a relaxing trip in Goa. 😄 . . Also, I know this photo might look photoshopped but this is exactly how this place looks on the good days. ❤️❤️❤️
What is it about sunsets that turns me into a pile of mush and reawakens the slightly dormant hopeless romantic in me, everytime I see it? Alas, I haven't figured out it yet. All I know is that whenever I see a sunset, my heart beats a little quicker and my lips automatically curve into a smile. And in that moment, I fall in love with this world. All over again. ❤️❤️❤️
