Which is the Best time to visit Goa?

Goa is most of the time humid and the weather remains hot throughout the year but warmth and the hottest climate peaks up in May through July. The tempering seasons of these two to three months do not allow mobility to travelers, hence it’s ideally considered not the best time to visit Goa. 

However, the months of November to March should be ideally considered to be the best season to travel to Goa as it features a cold and somehow breezy climate. You can also get to experience the best water sports and Goa’s top adventure activities from November to March. 

Additionally, you can explore different festivities during the ideal seasons from November to February. March and April are not so hot nor too cold, hence it allows you to explore the Goan culture, and tourist spots well being the peak season of Goa Tourism. 

Another good option revolves around June’s mid-month monsoon when the crowd is less and the weather becomes romantic through August. So, if you’re planning to book your Goa Honeymoon Tour Package with us, the months of mid-June to the first half of September are the best for you.
