Goa is transformed from a sun-drenched paradise to a verdant wonderland during the monsoon season. The season opens up a treasure trove of unusual experiences
that are just waiting to be discovered, even though the beaches might not be the best for swimming. This is your guide to seeing Goa from a totally different angle.
The monsoon season is ideal for Goa's spice plantations. Discover the plantations while it's raining and take in the aromas of wonderful spices like
pepper and cardamom. Take a tour around the farm to discover how they produce and grow them. Some farms
even provide mouthwatering meals and allow you to purchase fresh spices to take home.
During the monsoon, Goa's secret waterfalls come to life. The fifth-tallest waterfall in India, Dudhsagar Falls, becomes a tumbling spectacle.
Take a nice dip in one of the natural ponds near Tambdi Surla or Harvalem Falls (but make sure you're safe first!).
Arambol Beach, proudly situated in North Goa, is a serene and lovely beach, especially in the monsoon when less people visit.
Enjoy the overcast sky, feel the rain, and take a stroll on the beach.
During the monsoon, stop by this Goan bird sanctuary. Admire beautiful birds such as kingfishers, egrets, and herons while on a boat ride
through the mangrove forests. It's particularly lovely and serene, and the constant sound of rain adds to its specialness.
Take a rainy tour of Fontainhas, Goa's vibrant old town. Explore the rain-soaked, winding streets. Observe charming pastel homes, tiny art galleries,
and delicious pastries. Admire the structures as you go about, such as the well-known Chapel and Maruti Temple.
Go ahead for the ideal monsoon break and savor Goan cuisine at the cafés.
Savor the excitement of kayaking in the pouring downpour. Discover Goa's coastline's hidden coves and mangroves.
You can observe the strength and beauty of the monsoon from a different viewpoint thanks to this special viewpoint.
For those who enjoy the outdoors and bird watching, Chorao Island, located by the Mandovi River, is a haven.
The island becomes incredibly green during the monsoon, which attracts a lot of birds.
See the Tambdi Surla Temple, a hidden and historically significant landmark in Goa's jungles. It's exquisite, constructed in the distinctive Kadamba style.
It's wonderful during the monsoon season when the sculptures are wet from the rain. Wander through the woodland and experience the tranquility of the shrine.
