Goa in monsoons! Places that are a must-visit

Travelers to Goa during the monsoon season might have a wild experience. However, due to excessive rainfall, fewer sites may be open for exploration during the season. However, this does not imply you can’t visit Goa during the monsoon. Because of the fewer crowds, it is much easier to visit different locations and see the actual character of this town. Let’s have a look at some of the best Goa spots to visit during the monsoon season and enjoy the rain-soaked beauty of this coastal paradise.

Dudhsagar Falls

There are many beautiful places to visit in Goa especially during monsoon, the Dudhsagar Falls is one of the most famous place to visit. The falls situated at Bhagwan Mahaveer Sanctuary and Mollem National Park are actually a series of falls dropping from a height of 310 metres and murmuring through the forests.

The reason behind this is that since the rain showers are especially heavy, it increases the volume of the waterfalls, thus making it a beautiful thing to watch. If you propose to go this place, take a jeep safari or a trek through the forests by a four wheeler and feel the force of Dudhsagar Falls.

Spice Plantations

Monsoons are quite enjoyable in Goa and the spice plantation prove to be quite a delightful experience. To elaborate on the differentiation, walking through the rain-drenched plantations of cardamom, pepper-pot laurels, cinnamon trees, and others, is indeed a full experience of the sensuousity of certain components of the vast subduction of spices.

It is also possible to go for a guided tour here and get some educative information on the growing and sorting of these unfamiliar spices. They also serve homemade Goan food prepared from the fresh produces found in their plantation to the visitors interested in such meals. Never go home without spices bought from the local market to bring back to your kitchen.

Bondla Wildlife Sanctuary

If you are a wildlife lover and really love nature, it is always recommended to visit during the rainy season especially the Bondla Wildlife Sanctuary. This sanctuary is located in the Malabar region at a region of the Western Ghats that experience a significant degree of humidity during the rains and, as a result, is filled with green foliage and different types of animals.

Go for wildlife hunting around the sanctuary to view different animals such as the deer, Indian Bison, Langurs, and birds amongst others. And so as you breathe in the fresh cool air and the great feeling that you get when you’re in this area, that’s why it is loved by many visitors as the Bondla Wildlife Sanctuary.

Fontainhas

Fontainhas, Goa’s Latin Quarter, is a lovely district that exemplifies the state’s colonial legacy. Walking through Fontainhas’ small passageways during the monsoon season is a unique experience. The colorful pastel-colored cottages, small art galleries, and delightful bakeries make for a picturesque scene. For the finest experience, go through the region and observe the architectural marvels, such as the renowned Chapel of St. Sebastian and the Maruti Temple. Don’t forget to try authentic Goan cuisine at the neighborhood cafés and bakeries.
