Goa

Why visit

North and South Goa are effectively different trips under one name — nightlife and water sports around Baga and Calangute in the north, quiet stretches like Palolem in the south — and Dudhsagar Falls is close enough inland for a single day trip by jeep through the Bhagwan Mahavir Wildlife Sanctuary.

• Fort Aguada and Chapora Fort in North Goa
• The Basilica of Bom Jesus and Se Cathedral at Old Goa
• A jeep safari to Dudhsagar Falls
• The Wednesday flea market at Anjuna
• Palolem beach in South Goa
