3 Reasons Why You Should Visit Goa In The Winter

Visiting Goa in off tourism season does have its advantages, however, during the peak season, Goa is simply the place to be! Winter is a peak tourism season in Goa because the place remains pleasant and mild as the monsoon has just crossed the Indian mainland lowering the mercury and cleansing the entire region.

Goa is one of those places in the country that remain busy with tourists throughout the year. Whether it is the hot and humid summer or the winter when the temperature fluctuates between 15 to 25 degree C, there is always a horde of tourists in the state. It is needless to count the reasons that have made the place arguably the most favored tourist destination in India. It is easily accessible and individuals in north India often tend to catch one of the Chandigarh to Goa flights. There are several flights to serve the purpose and the total time taken depends on the route that you will take. However, a better alternative is to reach Delhi first and catch one of the direct flights, thus taking less time.

It almost seems like time-factor hasn't really worked in terms of Goa, when it is one factor that hugely influences every other tourist destination. Still, Goa has an off tourism season, although, you can still see tourists lazing on the beaches and exploring the narrow lanes of Old Goa. On the other hand, it is particularly December when the tourism is at the peak in Goa and for a set of good reasons. Given below are some significant reasons that will entice you to visit the destination in winter, especially if you haven't experienced winters in Goa.

Sunburn Festival

It is perhaps the allure of Goa that strikes the mind first. The history of Sunburn Festival is quite new. It hasn't even been a decade since the inception of the festival and the festival is already one of the major allures of the state drawing an ever increasing mass of tourists year after year. It is Asia's largest electronic dance music festival with a line of artists that has always been lavish. It is generally celebrated in the last 3-4 days of the month of December and indeed an event that worth taking part!

Supersonic Festival

This is yet another chief allure of Goa in the winter. It is also a dance music festival, the only difference between the festival and Sunburn Festival is that the latter promotes international and world-famous artists, whereas the Supersonic Festival patrons the local as well as international artists. Nikhil Chinapa, a well-known VJ, laid the foundation of the festival and every minute that you spend at the festival is just worth.

Casinos

While you are in Goa why not use the opportunity and try your luck. Goa has a large enough concentration of on-and-off shore casinos. While the offshore casinos are filled with swankiest luxuries and the live action tables, the onshore casinos are limited only to electronic games and don't make a hole in your pocket, unless you are your luck is running bad and you can't stop gambling.

There are several other allures and attractions in Goa that can be relished the best particularly in winters. Lately there is a rise in the number of people visiting Goa from Bangalore. The non-stop Bangalore to Goa flights take a little more than an hour to cover the distance.
