Tourists From Neighbouring States Rush To Goa To Beat The Heat
With its beautiful beaches, chill vibes, and amazing resorts and clubs, Goa is the ultimate holiday destination in India! And it is witnessing a high tourist rush right now, just weeks before it shuts down for the monsoon season. Goa is experiencing this surge in tourist arrivals from neighbouring states Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Kerala. The people are heading to Goa to get some respite from the hot summer and enjoy the holiday season.
According to authorities, peak tourist season ends after the advent of the southwest monsoon when the beaches are closed for swimming and other activities. Talking about this with Hindustan Times, Suneel Anchipaka, IAS, Director of Tourism and Managing Director, GTDC said, “Beach clearing agencies are in place, all the cleaning activities are taking place. Lifeguards are situated on various beaches. A few shacks have already started dismantling. By the end of this month, they are all going to be dismantled.”

Why Goa Is A Good Idea Even In Monsoon
While the peak tourist season in Goa is from November to February, the monsoon beauty of this state is something you should experience as well! Goa’s off-season is between June and September and the shacks and hotels usually tend to shut shop during this period. Also, visiting beaches and swimming is not advised during this time. You can, however, do a lot of different things here instead. You can visit national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, spice plantations, trek on different routes, and even try white water rafting during this time of the year.
