No trip is ever perfect in every way. There are always
those little things which remain in your memory long after
your trip is over. So we have compiled a list of useful
tips which might help in making your trip a lasting memory
of a lifetime. These tips are by no means a comprehensive
list but they will help you plan your trip before your embark
on it and also when you are actually in Goa.
Although Goa is a pretty safe place as compared to other
parts of India it is better to be safe than sorry. Carry
your money and travel documents (preferably wrapped in plastic
to avoid dampness) in a Money Belt around your waist well
hidden from sight.
The best and the safest way to carry your cash around is
through traveler’s cheques as they are readily exchangeable
in most locations. ATM cards are another convenience. You
can use them to withdraw cash from a couple of ATMs in the
capital city of Panjim.
The peak season in Goa is between October and January. It
is also the time when Goa is most crowded, more festive
than any other time of the year. The daytime temperatures
are comparatively not too hot and the nights are pleasantly
cool. It is also less humid than the rest of the year.
When in Goa, do not concentrate only on the more famous
beaches such as Calangute and Baga. Goa
has a number of relatively less crowded beaches which will
give you more privacy and even more pleasure. There are
also many other interesting places to visit in and around
Goa.
