Day 2: North Goa Sightseeing Tour

Start your day with a delicious breakfast at the hotel. Join us for an exciting sightseeing tour in North Goa, where we will explore the stunning sandy beaches and historic fortresses that once protected the land from naval attacks.

Our first stop is the ancient Fort Aguada, which dates back to 1612. This fortress was strategically built to defend against invaders from the sea and features a lighthouse. Located near Sinquerim Beach, the fort was named "Aguada," meaning watery in Portuguese, due to its freshwater spring. The lighthouse, built in 1864, is the oldest of its kind in Asia.

Next, we will visit the trio of Baga-Calangute-Candolim beaches, starting with Sinquerim Beach. Take a leisurely walk down the fort and enjoy the breathtaking view from Sinquerim Beach, known for its scenic beauty and proximity to the ancient Aguada Fort. We will then make our way to Calangute Beach, the longest beach in North Goa, where you can indulge in various fun activities, shop to your heart's content, and savor delicious food and snacks. Continuing our walk along the shore, we will reach Baga Beach, famous for its rocky hills and vibrant nightlife with renowned bars, lounges, and clubs. Our final stop is Anjuna Beach, where you will be mesmerized by the picturesque scenery of palm trees, white sandy beaches, and unique red laterite rocks and black rock formations. This beach is also popular for water sports and shopping at the local market.

Finally, we will make our way to Vagator Beach, situated at the southernmost point of Bardez Taluka. This exquisite beach is renowned for its pristine, ivory-colored sands and towering granite cliffs.

Rest comfortably at your designated hotel in Goa for the night.

Day 3: South Goa Sightseeing Tour

Commencing after breakfast, our comprehensive South Goa tour commences with a visit to the magnificent Shree Mangesh Temple, also known as Shri Manguesh Temple, situated in the charming Mangeshi Village of Goa. This exquisite temple, dating back 400 years, is dedicated to Lord Shiva, who is revered in the form of Lord Mahueshi. According to legends, Lord Shiva, after losing everything to Parvati in a game of dice, arrived in Goa disguised as a Tiger. Coincidentally, he frightened Parvati, who then sought his help and uttered the words "Mam Grisha," giving rise to the name Manguesh.

Goa is renowned for its collection of churches and convents in Old Goa. One of the must-see attractions is the famous Basilica of Bom Jesus, a church dating back to the 1600s and considered the most prominent church in Old Goa. This church holds a significant place within the UNESCO World Heritage Site and stands as an iconic landmark in Goa. The name "Bom Jesus" translates to "Good/Baby Jesus." Upon entering the Jesuit church, you will witness the remarkably preserved remnants of baroque architecture brought by the Portuguese, earning it a spot among the Seven Wonders of Portuguese Origin in the World. Additionally, we will explore the Church of Our Lady, a Gothic-style church initially constructed in 1541 atop a hill that offers panoramic views of Panjim.
The renowned architect Antoni Gaudi is credited with the impressive design of the structure. Originally constructed as a chapel, it was later transformed into the church we know today through a significant renovation in 1609. In the 18th century, the iconic symmetrical zigzag stairs were added, followed by the construction of Goa's second largest bell tower in 1871. Moving on to the location of Goa's largest bell, we find the Sé Catedral de Santa Catarina. This cathedral was built to commemorate the Portuguese victory over a Muslim army in 1510, which coincided with the capture of Old Goa on the feast day of Saint Catherine. The construction of the cathedral, which began in 1562, was completed in 1619. It houses a collection of historically valuable artworks, paintings, sculptures, and the Chapel of the Cross of Miracles, where it is said that a vision of Christ appeared in the year of its completion.

If you have a desire to shop in Goa, then you will surely enjoy Panjim Market. This market is a haven for shopping enthusiasts, offering a wide range of local products, souvenirs, snacks, and anything else you may desire from Goa. Take home a piece of Goa from here, and perhaps even find gifts to share with your loved ones back home.

However, if you find yourself drained by the crowds, you will appreciate the tranquility of Dona Paula Beach. Named after a charitable woman from Portuguese India, Dona Paula Amaral Antónia de Souto Maior, the villagers of Dona Paula renamed their village in her honor to acknowledge her contributions in improving the quality of life in the area. Today, people love to visit this beach, which is only crowded during peak seasons and otherwise remains relatively empty. Enjoy the breathtaking view of Mormugao Harbour, a significant trading port in India since 1963, as vessels come and go, exporting millions of tons of iron ore each year.

Miramar Beach in Goa is an exquisite destination that should not be overlooked. Formerly known as Gasper Dias Beach, it is a popular spot for both leisurely hangouts and thrilling water sports activities. Along the beach, you will find a vibrant array of restaurants and bars, creating a lively nightlife scene. Join the beach party and indulge in the famous Goan drinks and cuisine served there.

To add some excitement to your trip, consider embarking on the Mandovi River Cruise at an additional cost.

Commence your day with a delightful breakfast before embarking on a captivating journey to Dudhsagar falls, one of India's most enchanting waterfalls. Travel to this tiered marvel situated on the Mandovi River, nestled within the Bhagwan Mahavir Wild Life Sanctuary and Mollem National Park. Immerse yourself in the refreshing waters at the base of the falls, all while being surrounded by playful monkeys roaming freely.

As you make your way back to the hotel, take a moment to pause and indulge in a Spice Plantation tour (available from October to May).
