I’m sure Goa needs no introduction to you all-it’s the unofficial Party Capital of our Great India. While a Goa trip will be refreshing all the year round, what with the ever-present beach vibes, lovely nightlife and amazing global-destination feel of the place, it never hurt anyone to plan ahead a holiday and make the best of it henceforth. While most tourists throng to Goa till January circa October, if you want beauty at its finest, June-September is a better bet.
