Postponing that long due Goa trip<\/a> because its monsoon and the official tourist season is off? Well, think again!
\nMonsoon in Goa is BEAUTIFUL! The rains come as a wave of relief, stealing away the heat and leaving behind a blanket of greenery. The same goes for Goa. No matter what people say, but rain-drenched Goa offers a sight to behold. Every year the rains add their own charm to this tropical paradise, making it all the more irresistible.<\/p>\n

Goa is a quintessential, neon-filled party destination for tourist who wants that strong shot of tequila, an earful of mind-blasting EDM, and sand in their hair. But like everything else, there is a flipside to the Goan coin. Imagine the rain-touched landscape, no shacks crowding the beaches, magnificent greenery less crowded idyllic beaches, and roomy shorelines. It’s the monsoon in Goa which shows the susegad spirit of Goa<\/a> when everything becomes laid back and relaxing.<\/p>\n

We give you some compelling reasons that will make you fall in love with the charismatic vibes that monsoon in Goa exudes:<\/p>\n

Rains make the beaches prettier and nothing could be better than having your favorite beach all to yourself. Head to Mandrem, Morjim or Ashwem beach for a morning stroll or to just sit and watch sunset. These wide-open beaches have become quite hip and trendy in recent years but during the monsoon you would hardly see any crowd and with a vast expanse of golden sand beaches makes it more picturesque. It is possible to walk to Mandrem from Arambol. So, be ready to get drenched, get wet because wet is beautiful when it rains in Goa.<\/p>\n
