Plan your trip during best season to experience the best of this stunning destination

Being a tourist hotspot, Goa can be visited at any time of the year, but the best time to visit Goa is from mid-November through mid-February. The average temperature during this time is 20°C to 28°C. It is also the peak season when the tourist activity in Goa is highest, especially in the month of December due to Christmas and New Year festivities. The weather is pleasant and cool and most of the beach parties and festivals like Sunburn take place during this time, making it the best season to visit Goa. Wake up to perfect sunsets on the stunning beaches and majestic landscapes of Goa. Thanks to Goa weather being at its salubrious best throughout the year, it is a major holiday spot for travelers from all over the world.

The best time to visit Goa for water sports is during the winter season from mid-November till the mid of February. You can partake in watersports, like: water skiing, scuba diving, parasailing, angling, windsurfing, and more. While, the best time to visit Goa for honeymoon is during the monsoon season that runs from mid-June till October. Enjoy a sojourn there with your beloved for the love of Goa’s beaches and green landscapes.

Goa weather in June is also pretty pleasant, making it a good time to visit. The monsoon season is also a good time to visit Goa as the lush green countrysides look even more lively and colorful during the rains. Although there is no official off season time in Goa, the tourist inflow does lessen during the monsoons, since sightseeing and beach visits become nearly impossible during this time. The monsoon in Goa makes the state even greener than it already is, and for some people spending some time during the rainy season in Goa is a major attraction.

Let’s take a look at the below month-wise segregation to help you decide on the best month to visit Goa.

March - May: As the temperature soars to the highest degree at this time of the year, and the weather is quite high and humid, people often avoid visiting Goa during the months of March to May. However, as the prices of accommodation are quite low, one can consider this period for a budget tour.

June - September: And, here comes the monsoon season with the arrival of the month of June. Moreover, as during this time of the year, Goa hosts a bevy of parties and festivals, it can be a good time to visit here, and indulge in its vibrant and lively environs. In addition to that, June to September is also a good time to experience lush greenery, and avail a great amount of discounts on accommodations for a memorable experience. Best places to visit in Goa in monsoon are Dudhsagar Falls, Mhadei River, Spice Gardens.

October - February: With the beginning of the month of October is the best time of the year to visit Goa. Courtesy to the comfortable and pleasantly cool weather, this is one of the most preferred times to laze along the sandy beaches and enjoy sunbathing. Especially, the weather of Goa in December is quite soothing to enjoy a sojourn there. Though, as it is the peak season of tourism in Goa, the prices of accommodation are quite high. And thus, it is recommended to make your booking in advance.

    Pradhnya Kamble

    Maharashtra

    Pradhnya's 3 days trip to Goa

    I requested a hotel near beach - though hotel was good and staff were helpful and friendly, it was not close to the beach, specially risky during the evening time. It was there in the package that we would be given refreshment drinks when we arrive - however none were provided.  Cab Driver was good
    and very helpful - he made the trip very nice!! Overall, a good trip though. Thanks much! 

    Rajendra's 4 days trip to Goa

    I have been told everything is covered in package on 4th day also but after going there agent is saying only airport drop is covered and everything else is chargeable. I tried speaking to agent (Firdaus) to clarify this by calling multiple times entire day but received no response. Finally she told
    me over the phone on 4th day that i need to pay extra charges for 4th day which came as surprise for me.
