Useful information about the flight from London Gatwick to Goa

Ready for Goa

Goa used to be one of the wealthiest places on earth back in the 16th century, however these days the most stunning thing about it is the nature and sights. Goa is very different from the rest of India, having it's own kind of charm and personality. This is because it was under Portuguese rule separate from India for over 400 years. There's also a lot of harmony in Goa due to the fact that there's a diverse mix of religions, which lends it a very laid back atmosphere and one that tourists notice as soon as they arrive.

Winter in Goa

Winter is the best time to travel to Goa, this is between November and February, when temperatures reach a max of 28C. Avoid the monsoon season starting in June. In February you can experience the wonderfully bright Goa Carnival and August or September sees the Ganesha Chaturthi celebrations which last for 10 days. Diwali is celebrated in October to November and Goa also celebrates the Christian holidays of Christmas and Easter as a quarter of the population is Christian.

As a rough guide a taxi from Panjim is around Rs 700, Anjuna Rs 1,000, Aramabol Rs 1,400, and Agonda Rs 1,500. Also ensure you negotiate fares in advance.
