Goa in Monsoons

By now you all know how much I love my hometown Goa. This post is for all the travelers who wants to visit Goa in monsoons.

So, Goa is a very well known tourist attraction on the west coast of India, especially known for its beaches.

People love celebrating Christmas and the new year in Goa for obvious reasons. It hosts the International Film Festival of India just before Christmas and then the new year follows. All in all, Goa has become a perfect destination to spend your year end at. Having said that, Monsoon/Rainy season in Goa can be enjoyed too. Yes I mean it. The nature, the greenery, seeing the beaches when it rains, the clouds and then the street food is something you can’t get enough off.

Let me quickly share some pictures of my trip this time during Eid to my hometown Goa.

Beautiful, isn’t it?

 

Patoleo made at my aunts place, Patoleo or turmeric leaf cake is a dish mostly prepared in the western coast of India. It is made of grated coconut, rice and jaggery, and cooked by wrapping and steaming in turmeric leaves.

When it rains, all you can think about is of some Biryani, and this one is prawn special biryani made by my Sister-In-law. Ready to serve

 

Goan local Mushrooms, available only during monsoon.

Boiled Peanuts on one of the rainy evenings in Goa.

 

Hog Plums 🙂 They are more like mangoes and tastes yum when cooked with jaggery & coconut in thick gravy

 

and now some pictures I clicked on Eid, I am sorry for the poor presentation,

Henna/ Mehendi for Eid

 

So, our Eid day started by preparing Sheerkhurma (Its a sweet dish which is made with vermicelli in milk and lots of dry fruits).

Lunch menu was: Chicken Biryani, Chicken Tandoori, Mutton gravy, Bread and salad.

Pistachios and chocolates for the guests

 

Dates, just before leaving for Eid Prayers it is important to have dates.

 

And as you have seen this pics now, I feel they are enough to give you an idea on how Goa looks in monsoon. If you have ever visited Goa in monsoon do share your experience in comments below. If you haven’t still then this is the right time for your travel.

So? What are you waiting for? Infact July-August-September is the best time to witness some amazing Goan stuff like local mushrooms and organic fruits/vegetables along with sightseeing beautiful nature, peaceful beaches (yes you won’t be able to dive in the sea because of high tides in rainy season, but there are still better things that are waiting for you).
