Whenever Goa comes to our mind, we recall a perfect mix of natural beauty, revelry and tropical environments.
But to be honest, all can agree that travelling to Goa to relax in the beaches has become a little too cliché. The beauty of Goa is that is has a lot to offer, from exploring underrated spots to eat and chill, to pulling all nighters at some of the hottest clubs in town.

Here are the top 5 things to do in Goa

1. BEACH PLEASE!
Beaches in Goa area always packed with people who want to go for a swim in the water and feel the sand between the toes. But did you know that each beach in Goa has gems that adds to its
aesthetics Like for instance, you can try scrumptious pastries in the aesthetic ambience of Candolim.
Or you can head to INK CRAFT Tattoo Studios to get impulsively inked at Baga Beach
You can also head down to Purple Martini in Anjuna Beach for a mellow sundowner.

2. STRUT THE STREET
Want to take aesthetic videos to make your feed Instagram worthy?
Then Goa is the ultimate destination to film all those reels you had in mind.
Every building is an architectural masterpiece. Naturally grown flora creepers blossoming on the vibrantly coloured walls, is a calling for photographers.
Goa carnival is the most fun filled festival in Goa, that is meant to be a feast of food, drinks, music, dance and fun.

3. SHOP DON’T STOP
Shopping in Goa can easily be done. The steepest lanes will also have a cute colourful pop of the shop with tropical assortments.
Anjuna is the best place to get yourself antiques, slip ons, handcrafted bags, etc.

4. WALKING THROUGH SERENITY
If you walk and explore Goa, you will find unique places and spots. Explore around the beaches of Anjuna and Calangute and discover offbeat spots to add to your memories.
One should also visit Sweet water lake, which is officially known as Vagkolam. Dip your feet in the warm, fresh water and feel the heat of the sand which comes from the hot springs.
As the saying goes, “After a day’s walk, everything has twice its usual value.”

5. HOSTELLING AROUND
Being the hippie- centric, backpackers paradise of India, Goa has the best budget friendly hostels one can ask for.
Whether you are solo travelling and looking to make some friends or a hippie looking to party in North Goa, there are many fantastic options to choose from.
