Keeping in mind the lifestyle of Goa, your holiday in this tiny Indian state can prove to be costly. Here in this post, I am going to give you a few useful tips/suggestions to save money while holidaying in Goa.

Choose Beach Shacks over Restaurants for Fooding

If your Goa trip is more about entertainment and less about relaxation, then no need to look anywhere else other than the beach shacks. It is not only a good economic fooding option but also let you savor the authentic Goan delicacies.

Since Goa is a coastal area, the most common eating option found here is that of sea food. So if you are into non-vegetarian food, this tiny India state is a haven for you.

Association with Travel Agency is Helpful/Avoid Touts

It is always wise and safer to be associated with a travel agency of good repute. They will help you in getting the best deals as per your budget. It is advisable to go for a beach shack or lodge while you are running on a shoe-string budget.

3 star or 4 star hotels tend to soar expenses if you are accompanied by family. Kindly avoid the forceful insistence of touts who make fake promises to get you cheap deals.

Bargain While Shopping

Goa is also famous for its flea markets and the most popular among all is the Wednesday market of Anjuna.

Souvenir shopping is a must thing to do. Don’t forget to bargain if shopping at the flea markets. Compare the price tags of different vendors and then make the final choice. Pack adequate clothes to avoid spending on garments.

Make advance bookings to avoid last minute hassles

For any trip, not particular about Goa, it is advisable to make advanced booking in terms of accommodation and travel. Last minute bookings will make you shell out more money.

Off season bookings are mostly preferred as hotels hike their rates in the peak season (October to March). Hire bikes and cars from the locals as the public transports stop their service after 8 in the night and booking taxis is an expensive affair.

Tourism statistics of Goa proves that it is one of the most popular destinations in the world. Saving money on a leisure trip can be a tricky affair. Stick to the tips mentioned above and you’ll do just fine.
