What to expect in Goa during Monsoons:
Goa is visited by millions of tourists every year and majority of them visit during the peak
season
from October to March. But due to off season months
of monsoons starting from June and lasting
up to September, very few tourists visit Goa. Believe it or not but
Goa is at its most beautiful form
during the monsoons. The rainy season in Goa is
simply a magical experience as the real beauty and
grandeur of Goa is at its height during the rainy
season when it offers you a plethora of unique
experiences. The rivers joyfully overflow with their rushing
streams, the trees dance to the tune of
the winds, the mountains and the fields cover themselves
with a verdant green carpet ready to
welcome you to a land of eternal beauty.
Swimming in the sea at this time of the year is out of the question as the sea is very rough
and the swells are high. Goa, in the rains is a serene and peaceful place for those seeking
break from their busy schedule of the urban world. During monsoons the shacks close
down and the vendors move elsewhere in search of business.
The showers bring an amazing transformation to Goa, making it a loner's paradise. Just you
and the lush green palm trees swaying in the coastal monsoon breeze. With the cloud canopy
above, the cool
green cover over the Western Ghats cast a charm, which rejuvenates you,
reconnects you with your inner being. One can spend the monsoon walking on the
beaches while it drizzles or sitting in the lounge
overlooking the sea, sipping your favourite feni with
delicious seafood could be the best way to spend
your monsoons in Goa or, Read, sleep, gaze into the sea and
listen to the sound of the roaring seas.
Monsoons in Goa means sudden bursts of torrential downpours which usually last for a short
time, although occasionally but there are periods when it rains for hours and sometimes even
days with some breaks. If relaxing in the cozy ambiance of your room is not your idea of fun,
then there are a
plenty of outdoor activities for the adventurous tourists like crab
hunting or trekking for ultimate
experience. Go for quiet walks in the hinterlands and
enjoy mind-riveting sights of white-washed churches and
ancient temples resting against lush green
paddy fields. The breath-taking natural wonders of Goa
have to be seen, to be truly enjoyed.

Bonderam Festival in
August. Famous week long Damodar Saptah is also celebrated during monsoons which is paradise for
shoppers. The magnificent celebrations are accompanied by the usual
singing, dancing, and vibrant music.
Advantages of visiting Goa during Monsoons:
Due to off season the tourist are less so most of the hotels and resorts offer special monsoon
packages at discounted rates. But to soak in the goodness of Goa in the rains, you must take
up residence in the
villages in the quaint inns or lodges set in picturesque surroundings
of paddy fields and small streams.

and lush as
though it had been freshly washed by Mother Nature. The smell of the earth in
the first rains is the sweetest smell; everything seems so fresh and new. You can choose
