On the one hand, you have plush beaches and on the other hand, you have the most natural landscapes that make you wonder if time ever touched this place once in your lifetime. This is the perfect place to go on a sightseeing tour of North, South, and Old Goa, with a relaxing stay in a Hill Retreat. Finally, hit the beaches and relax in the mellow atmosphere of Colaba. The waterfalls, the forests, and the spice farms, all are unique in their way and are a must-visit on your tour to Goa in India.

This is the perfect place you can enjoy a relaxing, rejuvenating, and tension-free holiday.
