If you are planning to go to Goa and budget is a constraint, then think no more.
For budget travelers like us, going to places becomes problematic because we always have to think about the budget. Because of the budget we also compromise on fun.However, there is always a way out if you are willing to compromise at certain points. So let’s look at some tips for your next budget trip to Goa which will not give you a hard pinch on your pocket.
Visiting in offseason
It is a tip that is followed by many budget travelers. Although Goa is a place where you can travel at any time, it is best to avoid traveling to Goa during the month of December. The rates here this month are almost 75% to 100% higher than the rest of the months. With that said, the best months for traveling to Goa are March and October.
Target the weekdays
Typically working people would visit Goa during the weekends and that’s why most of the hotels and clubs hike up their rates. If you want to increase your stay at Goa and make it 4 to 5 days and make it a budget trip, then go on weekdays when the rates are cheaper.
Stay in South Goa
There is a false belief that South Goa is just for old folks and family tourists whereas North Goa is really for people who like to party. Nevertheless, North Goa is actually for pretty standard tourists, whereas South Goa is for serious tourists. This appears to mean that North Goa is swarming with diners, party spots, clubs, and joints that pander exclusively to tourists. The majority of North Goa's areas are packed, overly expensive, and generally disappointing. South Goa, on the other hand, maintains its allure without draining your budget. South Goa resorts are less packed and less pricey compared to those in North Goa. Furthermore, South Goa budget hotels are much cleaner and well-maintained.
Avoid hotels and resorts and stay in hostels and homestays
Staying in hotels and resorts in any season and at any time is more expensive compared to hostels and homestays. Staying in hostels and homestays will not only be friendly to your pocket, but it will also let you meet friendly people and get acquainted. There are also party hostels available if you are a party animal.
These four tips will surely help you to stay within a budget while traveling to Goa.
