Best Time to Visit North Goa

 
The winter season, from November to March, is the ideal time to visit the best beaches in North Goa. The weather is good throughout this time, with temperatures between 20°C and 30°C (68°F and 86°F). It's perfect for outdoor activities like hiking and sightseeing because of the low humidity and clear skies. Heavy rains during the monsoon season, which lasts from June to September, can cause floods and hinder transport. The hot and muggy summer months of April and May may not be ideal for outdoor activities. Consequently, the winter months provide the ideal circumstances for discovering North Goa's splendour.
