Moreover, with the ongoing peak season in Goa, marking the beginning from mid October to February end, this is your time to pack your bags and here are the the top reasons that make it worth visiting .
Beaches: Though Goa is loaded with 'n' number of beaches but if you are looking for something very particular and specific then, you must visit Baga Beach and Anjuna Beach because these two are the most popular and lively beaches, known for their vibrant atmosphere and a plethora of water sports.
During the peak season, there happens a variety of water activities like parasailing and jet-skiing and the nightlife at beaches become so vibrant as clubs organise various parties and events.
Harshita Kapoor, one of the recent tourists said that, "I have been to Goa twice but never experienced the nightlife but this time, I visited Goa especially to experience the lively environment at night with my friends to capture some lifetime memories. And truly, the experience was so exciting that I am short of words to explain, it was like super wow and worth visiting. I went to Anjuna Beach during the festive season which just gave me a great adventure and moments. I have decided that I will visit Goa in peak season now because while visiting you can actually feel and see the difference in vibes on usual days."
If you love shopping, you can also shop some antiques and beach accessories at economical prices since Anjuna Beach is famous for its Wednesday's Flea Market which is also a hub for music lovers.
Forts: Alongside the beaches, Goa is well known for its different forts and churches as well. You can plan and manage your itinerary accordingly like visiting forts during the day as the views during sunlight are exceptional to make poses and capture pictures. Though every different fort has a story behind their existence and a history to reveal; but, Aguada Fort is worth visiting since it offers panoramic views of the coastline but don't forget to explore Aguada Jail and Lighthouse. When visiting Aguada Fort, you not only get to immerse yourself in history but also enjoy the natural beauty that surrounds this iconic structure. It's a well-rounded experience that combines culture, history, and stunning landscapes.
Casinos: The most amazing destination to experience the night parties, night culture and casinos is Deltin Royale. This casino has just completed a decade of existence and celebrated their 10th anniversary with great pomp and show.

Waterfalls: The sound and view of waterfalls is a stressbuster in itself as it appears pleasant to ears and seems calming and relaxing to both eyes and mind. While visiting waterfalls, you must visit Dudhsagar Waterfalls which is located in the Bhagwan Mahavir Wildlife Sanctuary. The crowd during the peak season increases a lot as people can experience different trekking activities while enjoying jeep safari through the lush greenery surrounding the falls wherein, people can encounter different beautiful species of flora and fauna during their journey.
Old Goa: Old Goa is meant for churches, pleasant and peaceful beaches which is also like a hidden side of Goa as it is calm and polite in itself and highlights different aspects of nature. Old Goa is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that one shouldn't miss because its churches, surrounded with stunning views makes it a UNESCO site. You can add Basilica of Bom Jesus, Se Cathedral, and the Church of St. Cajetan Church to your travel list and can cover in one day. For a taste of history and culture, the peak season allows you to enjoy the cultural heritage of Goa without the sweltering heat.
So if you are planning to visit Goa, never miss a chance to visit it in Peak Season; though, it becomes a little expensive but the experience is immense and incomparable as compared to usual days which is a worthwhile deal.
