The culture is a result of the confluence of the east and the west.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mce-ga mce-family-open-sans\"><a title=\"Goa - Things To Do\" href=\"https:\/\/www.trodly.com\/activities-in-goa\/4500\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Goa<\/a> is a magnet for most travellers \u2013 especially honeymooners. The winter months (October to March) provide newlyweds with the perfect weather for the best memories of their life.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mce-ga mce-family-open-sans\"><strong>1)\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Couple Friendly<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"mce-ga mce-family-open-sans\"><strong><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Why Goa is the Perfect Honeymoon Destination - Couple Friendly\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trodly.com\/pictures\/upload\/image\/goa-honeymoon\/couple-beach-goa.jpg\" alt=\"Winter Honeymoon in Goa - Couple Friendly\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mce-ga mce-family-open-sans\">Goa has, over the years, been home to many a wedding and been visited by even more couples. This means that the locals and all businesses have taken this in their stride and in fact, made the most of it. Most activities that can be done at the beach or in the city are appropriate for and can be done with couples (e.g. jet skiing, <a title=\"Scuba Diving in Goa\" href=\"https:\/\/www.trodly.com\/activity\/scuba-diving?location=Goa&amp;locationId=4500&amp;sort=popularity&amp;order=DESC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">scuba diving<\/a>, <a title=\"Tours and sightseeing in Goa\" href=\"https:\/\/www.trodly.com\/activity\/tours-and-sightseeing?location=Goa&amp;locationId=4500&amp;sort=popularity&amp;order=DESC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">local tours in Go<\/a>a and so much more), so that even prices to enter clubs and other such places are less for couples.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mce-ga mce-family-open-sans\">Over and above the prices and capacity for activities, the society is open-minded and not as conservative as the rest of the country. Being a couple enjoying a romantic walk, hand in hand, won\u2019t get you too many sideways glances and comments \u2013 providing a feeling of freedom from what is otherwise a relatively more restrictive environment. This makes Goa perfect for a newlywed wed couple that want to truly let their hair down and begin their life together in the best way possible!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mce-ga mce-family-open-sans\"><strong>2)\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Ice-Breaker Activities<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"mce-ga mce-family-open-sans\">Goa offers plenty of activities for the average traveller \u2013 however, one\u2019s honeymoon isn\u2019t an average vacation.

The airport is called Goa International Airport or Dabolim Airport and all major metros from India have flights to and from it. Madagaon Railway Station and Thivim Railway Station connect Goa to the complex network that is the Indian Railway System. Driving down to Goa from nearby metros such as Pune or Mumbai proves to be a more time-taking but entertaining method of transport \u2013 especially as the road passes through scenic routes of Maharashtra. Local buses can also be taken that stop at the Margao Bus Terminal, Kadamba Bus Terminal, and Mapusa Bus Terminal. Therefore, physically close and easy to get to, Goa is as convenient for a honeymoon getaway as possible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mce-ga mce-family-open-sans\">\n<h2 class=\"mce-ga mce-family-open-sans\"><strong>5)\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Great Winter Weather<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"mce-ga mce-family-open-sans\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Why Goa is the Perfect Honeymoon Destination - Goa Perfect Weather\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trodly.com\/pictures\/upload\/image\/goa-honeymoon\/goa-weather.jpg\" alt=\"Why Goa is the Perfect Honeymoon Destination - Goa Perfect Weather\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mce-ga mce-family-open-sans\">The winter in Goa lasts from the months of October to April. It is the peak tourist season, and for a good reason, as the weather is perfect. The days are pleasant and not unbearably hot \u2013 the oppressive Maharashtran heat can get too much for some! The nights are cool with a slightly chilly breeze \u2013 ideal for a midnight stroll along the shore \u2013 under the light of the moon &#8211; as the waves nip at visitors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mce-ga mce-family-open-sans\">As the winter rolls around, the monsoon has left the landscape a lush green in its wake. The winter time is also when many festivals occur \u2013 from Christmas to the Teator Festival (showcasing local folk dramas and dances).<\/p>\n<p class=\"mce-ga mce-family-open-sans\">The temperature in the day roves between 20\u00b0C to 25\u00b0C while the minimum temperature goes down to 15\u00b0C.
