5 days in Goa Itinerary

On India's western coastline, the former Portuguese colony of Goa tells a visibly different story than the rest of India.

You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Fontainhas and Church of St. Francis of Assissi. Get some cultural insight at St. Alex Church and Church of Holy Spirit. There's much more to do: relax and rejuvenate at Himalayan Therapeutic Studio, enjoy the sand and surf at Arossim Beach, don't miss a visit to Carpe Diem, and contemplate the long history of Church and Monastery of St Augustine.
