GOA IN SUMMERS
There is no doubt that Goa is one of the most popular vacation destinations among the youth. The reason being its popular beaches, exciting nightlife and amazing fun activities to do. Goa is also particularly popular as the perfect summer destination for a fun trip or vacation. This is due to a variety of reasons and here we will discuss the same. So, what are you waiting for? Let’s get going!
1. Weather
Summers in Goa typically lasts from early March to late May. The weather is not extremely hot and neither very cool. Usually, April is slightly warmer than May due to the higher temperatures during this time of the month. May is the hottest month of the year here in Goa. The temperature further goes down at night and there is a slightly cool sea breeze blowing. The weather is pleasing and welcoming for all kinds of fun and activities. The sky is a pretty shade of blue with fluffy white clouds partly hovering over the sun. There are little to no chances of rainfall during this time of the year.
2. Travel cost
As people typically prefer to visit Goa in January or February, the summer season has relatively fewer tourists visiting Goa. Due to this reason, all flight tickets to Goa from anywhere in India, are available at very cheap rates – even if not booked in advance. As there is very less crowd and even lesser bookings, all hotels/ cottages offer huge discounts and cheap rates on room bookings. If you plan on doing shopping in Goa or even just buying anything during your trip, it will be a boon for you in this season. This is because the local shops do not have many sales and hence, offer everything at slashed prices and heavy discounts. So, a trip to Goa in summer is light on the pocket and will save you a lot of money.
3. Crowd
Most of the people visiting Goa prefer the winter months for their vacation. This is because of carnivals and weather during this season. As a result of this, there are very few people visiting Goa in the summer season. Hence, there is little to no crowd in Goa in these months. Because of this reason, you can enjoy everything with peace and at your own pace. There are no crowds, so you don’t need to hurry things up or wait in queues for long hours. This is a boon for people who love solitude or do not prefer heavy crowds. This season is also ideal for people who want to spend an in-door vacation quietly without any hassle.
4. Traditional festivals
Goa is much more than its beaches or nightlife. It has a rich history of culture and tradition. Another reason for visiting Goa in the summer months is that you get to experience and enjoy some popular and traditional Goan festivals. One of them is the Goa Mango festival that showcases many different varieties of mangoes and several different competitions are also held. Another famous festival is the Goa Cashew and Coconut Festival, held in May. Sao Joao festival is another wonderful festival held in the summer season in Goa. In this, people wear colourful and traditional fancy dresses and dance to the tunes of folk songs. Isn’t all this so exciting?
To conclude, if you are also planning on having a vacation to Goa, the summer season is undoubtedly one of the best times of the year for a perfect vacation.
