A GUIDE TO VISITING GOA IN SUMMER

Any time is a good time to visit Goa. But taking a Goa trip in summer is an especially good idea for a variety of reasons. It is the off-season which means visitors can find almost unbelievable deals on activities, the usual crowds will be absent which means you can partake in activities at your own pace and not rush because there’s a whole host of people waiting for their turn, and of course getting some respite from the tropical heat by cooling down in the Arabian Sea.

Historical Sites

 

Goa is home to a large number of historic monuments like churches and forts. Guests visiting these architectural marvels during the summer months can take advantage of the lack of crowds and spend as much time as they want at these sites instead of being ushered away to give way to the next tour group. Some locations that are unmissable are Aguada Fort, Chapora Fort, Basilica of Bom Jesus, and much more.

The southern half of Goa is usually the quieter half, even during peak season. During the off-season, it is absolute bliss for guests who want to enjoy a quiet getaway by the sea. Come revel in this bliss during your stay at Heritage Village in Cansaulim and get treated like royalty during the summer months.
