Romance is not just about spending time in luxury but sometimes going all natural, which brings us to the next, top things to do in Goa on honeymoon. Far from the crowded and the mainstream tourist spots of Goa lies the hinterlands, which serve as the offbeat attractions of the state. For the newlyweds, we suggest Dudhsagar-waterfalls. Rightly named due to its milky-white appearance, the water here plummets from a great height and crashes with a roaring sound. Being a part of a wildlife sanctuary, the vicinity of the falls is completely under the blanket of green.

Spend some quality time here with your spouse, as nature portrays its enchanting picture in an ambience that is livened with the freshness and the roar of the falls. If you and your partner love adventure, then you two are always welcome to trek and climb the challenging terrain, leading to the top of the falls.

Latin Quarter of Fontainhas

Walk around hand in hand with your partner on honeymoon in Goa is a must. Fontainhas maintains to this day its Portuguese influence, namely at the architectonic level, such as narrow and pretty winding streets as found in many European cities, old villas and buildings with projecting balconies painted in the traditional tones of pale yellow, green, or blue, and roofs made of red coloured tiles.

As Goa was subjected to a foreign rule; mainly Portuguese, it has its remnants left in the form of an old quarter that are of an impression of a heritage area. Famed as the Quarter of Fontainhas and located in the city of Panaji, this vintage area is our next suggestion to catch up good in your honeymoon. It has this old world charm that greatly intrigues visitors towards the classic Portuguese architectural style, which comes in handy in all of its constructions.

In colors of blue, green and yellow, these houses terrifically resemble the French Quarters of the down south Pondicherry. The Fontainhas also talks about a 19th century chapel, known as the Chapel of St. Sebastian. During the annual street fiesta of the Fontainhas, the chapel is the best place to be. We believe a romantic walk with your spouse across these fancy old homes would certainly do the magic you long for.

Visit Spice Plantations

Escape the cities and the beaches and go exploring a very different side of Goa. Spice plantations in Goa, we reckon will refresh your party hangovers with their rejuvenating aromas. The outskirts of the beach capital, mostly on the slopes of the lush Western Ghats are are dotted with numerous plantations.

One such is Savoi plantations, just 25 km away from the capital city of Panaji. It is amongst the oldest of the growing fields, the production of which underlines betel nuts, pineapples, coconut and fruits as its main produce.

The plantation tour offers an opportunity to go through various varieties of spices and get a know-how of the spice business. Best thing about this trip is the elephant ride which will ferry you and your partner all through the aromatic plantations. You can also choose to explore the Sahakari Spice farm, Parvai Mandav Park Plantation, Rustic Plantation and Pascoal Spice village.

Play a Game of Paintball in Nuvem, Goa

Games with your spouse are surely a great way for bonding and for this we suggest a game of paintball on your honeymoon in Goa. How many of you can recall playing this game; not on your gaming consoles, but in real flesh and blood? Quite less we believe. Well, here is a chance to make it happen. This is something that is fit for every tourist; of all ages and kind. As we are talking about honeymoon, this game can be great delight for the newlyweds too (maybe not romantic, but refreshing fun though).

Just 24 km from the city of Vasco is the village of Nuvem where this combat action with colored balls takes place. The village has a number of arenas of this kind, but we suggest MILSIM for the adventure seeking couple. Counted amongst the top paintball arenas in Goa, it creates an actual war like atmosphere for the participants. Team up with others and then it’s just you and your gun in a battlefield that is going haywire with paintballs coming from all directions.

Nightlife, Casinos, Gambling

Well, that was all for your day schedule. Honeymoon in Goa is also about the exciting nightlife, one of the best in India. As soon as the nightfall, get dressed for some of the most amazing experiences. As Goa is known for its love for partying and its psychedelic inclinations, we bet you wouldn’t have had it anything like this before.

Best thing about it is that one need not look for it. Cubs, casinos, pubs and bars are everywhere. Decide as per your music tastes and preferences. If into hip hop, Club Cubana in Arpora must be the den for you. Trance and techno lovers can enjoy their night at Bardo at the Ashvem beach, Club Cirrus at Anjuna and Silent Noise at Cavelossim. For listeners of Psychedelic trance, Hiltop and Curlies in Anjuna is your best bet.

Many of you include casino hopping amongst your favorite past times for the night, and so does Goa. The state’s best casinos are lined up on cruises that anchor on the Mandovi River.
