Goa, now holds a new feather to its cap, it has become the top monsoon destination. June to September, Goa is washed with rain bringing new life to the greens, filling the state with traditional flavor. With the unpredictable monsoon, it can rain heavily on days, or prefer to stay dry. But, the frequency of rain will never interrupt you, exploring the Goan culture, forts, lifestyle, food and more.

Expect Goa to be deserted with plenty of places closed during monsoon. Instead you can make the most out of village life, delicious food, unbelievable hotel discounts and lush green surroundings.
