Explore Goa, the beach and party destination of India
For those dreamin to wade through the water, lay under the shacks lining the periphery of the beach, and gulp some of the refreshing drinks, come to Goa. The state’s major highlights are the churches that have been standing for years and the sandy beaches that run along the Arabian Sea. Goa has a series of tourist attractions that you can't help but keep coming back to. If you are a first-time traveller you need to book Rajkot to Goa flight ticket and explore this stunning destination.
- Explore the Church of Our Lady of Immaculate Conception: Most of the visitors may say that the beaches are the best thing about Goa, but others might beg to differ because Goa’s historic chapels have a spell-binding effect. One of the most popular tourist attractions in Goa is Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, located in Panjim. It was built in a Portuguese Baroque style, with a spotless white exterior and zigzag stairs leading to the top.
- Shop at Anjuna Flea Market: Shopping in a new city is always fun, especially when you can shop cheap. If you are travelling to Goa during mid-November to early-April, you need to experience the market fiesta; it is, after all, a typical Goan experience. The best thing about the flea market in Goa is that it is located adjacent to Anjuna Beach. So, you get to experience the best of both worlds.
- Take a ferry to Divar Island: To get away from the tourists, make a quick trip to a small village on Divar Island. The island is located about 10 km from Panjim, amid thick forests and natural beauty. You can catch a ferry that runs from morning to evening, every 15 minutes. This is a great place to visit to have a calm staycation, at one of the many resorts there.
- Explore the Chapora Fort: Located in a low-key neighbourhood called Chapora in north Goa, Chapora Fort will teleport you back to bygone years. Although there is no sturdy fort today, however, you can see the remains scattered across the complex that has been overtaken by nature. What makes Chapora Fort stand out is its strategic location from where you get an unobstructed view of the sea and its neighbour, Morjim.
- Dudhsagar Waterfalls: This is an iconic tourist hotspot in Goa. The waterfall resembles milk spilling down the mountain; it is thus also called "The Flowing Cascade of Milk." This site is located on the Goa-Karnataka border, so it is a bit away from the city’s centre, but it is worth visiting this stunning waterfall. Dudhsagar Waterfalls is almost 1017 feet high, and it is even more beautiful during the monsoon season.
- Goa beaches: Beaches are an inevitable point of interest that you cannot miss while in Goa. After all, that is why we go to Goa, to wade alongside the sea and get a golden tan. Some of the stunning beaches in Goa are Calangute Beach, Anjuna Beach, and Colva Beach, to name a few. The farther south you travel, you will find secluded beaches that may give you an uninterrupted view of the sunset.
Goa Airports
Goa has two international airports now. The new Mopa International Airport will serve as the second entry from several cities across the world to Goa. This will provide relief to the present Dabolim International Airport, and provide easy access for several passengers and aircraft to enter Goa.
Mopa International Airport is located in Casarvane VP, and we need to traverse Dadachiwadi Rd. The IATA code for Mopa is GOX. Dabolim International Airport, on the other hand, is near Vasco da Gama in Dabolim. The IATA code for Dabolim is GOI.
