1- Go rock spotting at the Vagator Beach
Getting around: It is about an

for 250-400rs and use it to get around. If you want this one to be romantic, go
for a scooter.

cliffs after dark with the moonlit sky would offer a perfect setting for you
and your partner. Also, if you are a Harry Potter fan-- the rocks look like
Hogwarts from some angles. Maybe go hunting for the perfect spot.

around Baga, easy to find. You can ask the locals or just Google maps or Zomato
it.

dinner which starts with the lady receiving a dress, shoes and a card asking
her out to dinner and ends with wine and French desserts.

3- A spooky evening at the 3 Kings Church
Getting around: Located in village cansaulim, 15 km far from
velsao in south Goa, you can get around on a scooter.
What to do: Well, start
with finding out whether the place is actually spooky or not. You have nothing
to lose either ways, the scenery is breath-taking and the haunted-ness just
adds to your romance!
4- Bird Watching at the Dr. Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary
Getting around: Through a free of cost ferry across the river
by the government of Goa towards Chorao Island. The most idea time will be in
the mornings where you can see the sun rise and the birds chirping.
What to do: There are tides on both the sides of the
sanctuary, hence you should experience the high tide for backwaters and well as
the low tide for marshy bird watching. Spend time in the nature, but remember
don’t scare the birds.
5- Rachol
Getting there: It is
located 8kms from the beach of Madgao. You can yet again use your scooter and
enjoy the scenery on the way.
What to do: Rachol is the
place where you go and sit. Breathing in Rachol's air, given its secluded
location and the fact that a lot of tourits aren't aware of it, in itself is
spiritual food for your relationship.
6- Divar Island
Getting Around: It is
located around upriver 10 km from Panjim. Finding transport may not be
difficult (Yes, renting a scooter in Goa is the most convinient way to get
around).
What to do: On the ride
to the village you will see paddy fields, wooded hills around the roadways and
typical Goan lifestyles. And when on an island, do what they do—Relax, soak in
the nature and the scenery, try some roadside local munchies and make memories.
7- Ponda
Ponda is geographically the heart of Goa, a place which deserves to be on your romantic getaways to-do list. 29kms away from Panjim, it is also called the cultural city of Goa. This city is your chance to go around and explore culture, love, lifestyles and all the in betweens.
Getting Around: It is
located on the National Highway 4A between Panjim and Belgam. Take a shuttle
bus from Kadamba bus terminus to get here. Avoid the local buses, they take
longer to reach.

period of time. You could also visit the Dudh Sagar wildlife sanctuary,
Herbarium Abyss- an organic farm, Pascoal Spice village, Sahakri Spice farm and
