Tour Highlights

A place outside time...a tiny emerald speck on the west coast of India, tucked away snugly between the hills of the Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea, Goa has a warm, tropical climate with an average temperature of 21C (79F) throughout the year. The winter months December to February are delightfully cool and sunny, and from June to September, Goa is drenched by the southwest monsoon, which turns the countryside into a lush garden. The land is covered with paddy fields and groves of cashew, mango and coconut. Strung along the 100 km. coastline are stretches of beaches the colour of sand changing every few kilometers.
