Soul Travelling - All You Need to Know BEFORE You Go (2024)
Plan your Trip to Goa
Goa needs no introduction, long has it featured as the ultimate destination on the hippy-trail. A (former) hedonistic haven, there’s far more to Goa than its beaches, dance parties, and (not-so) impermanent beach-shacks.
There’s a whole other side of Goa, too, which takes a little more digging to explore its backwater mangroves, spice plantations, farm-stays and palm-fringed winding roads through the Western Ghats .
Of course, if you’re coming for the yoga, you won’t be disappointed, too. But be warned about one thing: Many people who come to Goa find themselves staying way longer than planned… 🙂

Messages from the Mangroves: Kayaking Goa’s Backwaters
Kayaking in Goa along the backwaters offers an entirely different perspective of Goa: One that’s filled with messages about the fine and beautiful balance nature plays in protecting our planet.
GOA TRAVEL GUIDE | Best of Goa Without the Crowds
Our Goa travel guide covers the best of Goa – aka Goa with fewer crowds! Once a hippy-paradise with swaying palms and the occasional coco-hut, Goa is one of India’s highlights.
Essential Goa Travel Information & FAQs
Winter months between November and February are the most popular time to visit Goa – temperatures are cooler with winter sun, hovering between 25-30 degrees in the daytime with cool evenings.
Be aware that all of India tries to get to Goa for Christmas and New Year – so if that’s your plan, you’ll need to book months ahead.
In monsoon season, between June & September, many places to stay pack up or shut down, and the seas are not safe for swimming due to storms, however it can be a beautiful time to explore inland Goa.
You can get to Goa easily enough by train or plane (the main railhead is at Margao (south Goa) or Vasco da Gama.
Getting around Goa is less easy without your own transportation – you’ll mostly need to take cabs (which love to overcharge) or the bus.
When renting scooters, do your due-diligence to check that all parts of it work before agreeing to take it, and be aware of police issuing ‘fines’ to tourists.
Goa caters for backpackers and those looking for luxury resorts, and most categories in between. Some beaches have a more family-vibe (such as Palolem) while others (Anjuna) are focused on the hippie-crowd.
Budget beach shacks are less than inspiring, have paper-thin walls, but are affordable if you want to be right on the beach.
Tourist oriented western style food is massively overpriced, and those seeking a good deal will fare better in local-style delicious Goan eateries.
The waves can be big in Goa and are not suitable for all – check before you go in. Swimming is definitely not receommended during monsoon.
As with the rest of India, tap water is not safe to drink, but UV or Reverse Osmosis filtered water is fine. We use and trust Water to Go filter bottles which we travel with – buy one here.
I recommend sticking to hot food, served from busy stalls or restaurants. There are plenty of places to eat that are used to foreigners who prefer their curries a little less spicy.
Goa is generally a safe part of India but solo women should still do their due diligence, avoid wearing (only) swimwear while off the beach, and avoid walking on beaches alone at night.
Like much of India, Goa gets its best weather between October – March, with December and January being peak season. Temperatures hover between 20 – 30 degrees celsius.
March – June are hot, sticky and humid with temperatures between 30-40 degrees, and see less tourism in general, so it can be a good time to go in search of a sea breeze.
The beaches all but shut down between June – September, but visiting inland Goa during this time is possible – if you don’t mind the torrential rain!

Step off the beaten trail this July in Goa with Soul Travelling
Looking for fun things to do this monsoon season?
The folks at Soul Travelling specialize in just that, offbeat tourism. They organize unique experiences to keep you both entertained and informed while in Goa by introducing you to the local community, culture & other travellers alike!
"We plan to change the way people perceive travel and while doing so, break the myth of the notoriously popular concept of what Goa is, and give them instead some of the most local experiences steeped in history and full of the true Goan flavour.
We believe that the best way to learn about the culture, the stories, and the history of a place is to walk through it. We've realized that today's youth are losing touch with their cities, villages, and towns. Our purpose is to connect the places with the people, and to give them an experience they will never forget."
Soul Travelling offers both a rotating calendar of events as well as outings upon request. This month, they are starting off with a series of weekend walks ranging from The Tavern Trail in Panaji on Friday evening, July 5th, through to a Rains of Rachol village walk on Sunday afternoon, July 7th, as seen in the poster above.
For an updated list, prices & location details - head on over to their website here . And be sure to follow them on Instagram @soul.travelling for daily insight into Goa, tidbits from past events and the latest news of things to come!
