Things to do in Goa in November

1

Palolem Beach Kayaking

Goa's most photogenic crescent beach with calm waters perfect for kayaking to Honeymoon Island and Butterfly Beach at sunrise before the crowds arrive.

2

Old Goa Churches

The UNESCO-listed Basilica of Bom Jesus contains the mortal remains of St. Francis Xavier. The Portuguese Baroque architecture rising from the jungle is unexpectedly magnificent.

3

Anjuna Flea Market

The original hippie market that started in the 1960s. A labyrinth of Rajasthani textiles, silver jewelry, leather goods, and everything tie-dyed every Wednesday afternoon.

4

Spice Plantation Tour

A guided walk through a lush plantation where vanilla, cardamom, black pepper, and turmeric grow. Traditional Goan lunch served on banana leaves included.

5

Dudhsagar Falls

A 600m four-tiered waterfall that translates to 'sea of milk.' Accessible by jeep safari through the Bhagwan Mahavir Wildlife Sanctuary — most spectacular during monsoon.

6

Fort Aguada

Built by the Portuguese in 1612 at the confluence of the Mandovi River and the Arabian Sea, this magnificently preserved fort was the first sight greeting arriving sailors. Climb to the solitary lighthouse for one of the finest coastal panoramas in India — ocean on three sides, palm canopy inland.
