Best time to visit Goa?

November to February offers perfect beach weather. December–January is peak season (and pricier). Monsoon Goa (June–September) has its own lush, offbeat charm.

North Goa or South Goa — which is better?

North Goa for nightlife, water sports, and lively beaches. South Goa for luxury resorts, quieter beaches, and natural beauty. A good trip covers both.
