Goa
India · South Asia
Goa works almost all year round, peaking in January and July–August, when it is at its strongest for nature & wildlife. Continuous heavy downpours make beach life non-existent and rough seas prohibit water sports. Nature enthusiasts enjoy Dudhsagar Falls, spice plantations, and lush rainforest trekking.
