Visit Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary
When in Goa, do visit the Charao Island that is located on the Mandovi river, and is home to the popular Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary. This small and beautiful island should definitely feature in your itinerary if you are visiting Goa during winter, where you get to spot some surprisingly colourful birds as well as some migratory birds. It’s also one of the best places for those who are keen to be amid nature and take a break from parties.


Enjoy night shopping
A trip to Goa is never complete if you don’t indulge in some retail therapy, and winters are the best time to indulge in some shopping. For this, you can explore Arpora’s Saturday Night Market, which mostly functions from November to April, and remains open every Saturday at 6 PM in the evening and runs till early morning. Plus, the hippie ambience adds more to the look and feel.

Dolphin spotting
The ocean here offers you ample opportunities to not only indulge in water activities, but also in dolphin spotting. This is because the coastline of Arabian Sea is home to the playful dolphins, and if you manage to get a boat and head into faraway sea, you are in for an action. Sit back and wait for your chance to spot a school of dolphin frolicking and swimming in the water.


Mandovi River Cruise
The Mandovi river cruise is yet another interesting option to make your Goa trip an exciting one. You will get to enjoy a two hour-long sunset cruise, which will also include an entertainment show and dinner. If you want more thrill and excitement, you can also opt for an overnight stay.
