Postcards from Goa, Vol 3, Coastal Spell

Between the months of June and August, Goa’s monsoons are peaking. The lushness of Goa is incomparable; it is at its greenest during this time. The trees and rice paddies look all fresh and green. The waterfalls feel incredible and when the sun is out, you can see the birds basking in the sunlight to dry themselves off.

Overlooking the Mandovi river, right in the heart of Panjim there exists an area called Fontainhas that has colourful and fascinating sights. These Portuguese houses and vibrant streets of Goa are even more captivating during this season. You see the locals enjoying a fresh choriz poi & tea at the local bakeries that have been around since the 1800s.
