Mumbai Goa Tour Package

Today, we will start our day with a lavish breakfast. Then, we will leave for sightseeing in Mumbai. We will cover the best tourist sights in the city the entire day. We will start with the visit to UNESCO World Heritage Site Elephanta Caves in the Elephanta Caves. Then, we will move on to explore the Prince of Wales Museum, Hanging Garden, Juhu Beach, Gateway of India, and more. We will also pay a visit to the Marine Drive

Elephant Cave is
located in Gharapuri (The City of Caves), approximately ten kilometers away
from Mumbai Harbor. The caves consist mainly of two groups, Hindu Caves
(consisting of five caves) and Buddhist Caves (consisting of two caves). This
rock-cut architecture adopted for the caves is datable to a time between the 5th
and 8th centuries and dedicated to Lord Shiva. However, a convenient
date of its construction is yet a mystery but historians have terminated them
to the time when Mauryan rulers were conquered by Badami Chalukyas in 635 AD.
At that time, the Elephanta was the capital of Konkan Mauryas and was called
Puri or Purina. The caves present are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The next attraction of our
Mumbai Goa tour is the Prince of Wales Museum, also known as Chhatrapati Shivaji
Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya. It was established in the 20th century in order to celebrate the visit of Prince Wales. There are about 50,000 displays inside the museum divided into three categories- Art, Archeology, and Natural History. Artifacts and Momento of Indus Valley Civilization, Guptas, Rashtrakutas, Mauryas, Chalukyas, and others are put here for the public array. Other than this, we can behold beautiful prints, the illustration of different wildlife species, paintings, manuscripts, etc.

The landmark of Mumbai,
‘The Gateway of India’ is just a few kilometers away from the museum. This
structure was built in order to commemorate the visit of their Majestic King
George V and Queen Mary in 1911. We will explore the Hanging Garden in our
leisure time, which is perched at the top of Malabar Hill, overlooking the
beautiful Arabian Sea. This polished terrace garden is adorned with a huge
variety of plants and flower species.
The popular beach of Mumbai, “Juhu Beach” is crowded with visitors. Here,
some of Mumbai’s best street food and restaurants are located. Also, Marine
Drive is located in the heart of Mumbai, just beside a busy road. But the horns
and shouts of the city’s road don’t really obstruct the serenity that is obtained
here while sipping a cup of coffee and just simply unraveling. Overnight in a hotel. 

Leaving behind Mumbai, we will proceed towards Mumbai airport to board the flight for Goa. On our arrival in Goa, we will meet one of our tour representatives and transfer to the hotel for the stay. The rest of the day is free to either rest or explore.

Goa and its beaches
pull enormous crowd from different corners of the world. The state is a
well-known destination of India, specifically for the beach- persons and party-animals.
We will get to relish in the depth of crystal clear water, wavering palm
grooves and shiny sands, which are the main attractions of Goa.  But this is not all that Goa is about, its
shopping scenario, biodiversity, architecture, heritage and culture happen to
be assets of equal share. It is recognized for its mellow vibe, but with all
the luxuries one could think of, even the ones unthinkable. Overnight in hotel.

After having a delightful breakfast, we will visit the appealing beaches of Goa such as Calangute, Dona Paula, Miramar, and Baga Beach. We can also explore the historical Old Goa Churches and Fort Aguada. Aguada fort was build up in 1613 for the purpose of safeguarding from Marathas and Dutch.

the Solar Souto Maior, Fontainhas, and Panjim. Then, we will proceed to take a
walk around the vibrant markets of Panjim. This is the capital of Goa and has
regional as well as branded stores for shopaholics. While shopping, we will
indulge in the savoury tastes of local cuisines and take a break from the days’
sightseeing for lunch. Foodies can find a multitude of restaurants giving
cut-throat competition to each other in the sense of taste, ambience, and
décor. Afterwards, we will visit Baga Beach which is filled with exuberance and
youthful vibe and enjoy the water-sport activities. Overnight stay in the
hotel.

We will start the day with a mouthwatering breakfast. Then, will pay a visit to the scenic beaches of South Goa. Today, we will visit the major attractions like Mangueshi Temple, Shanta Durga Temple, Colva Beach, and others.

Mangueshi Temple is a
well-known temple of Goa and also one of the largest in the state. It is devoted
to Bhagavan Manguesh, an incarnation of Hindu Lord Shiva. Another holy place

Deva Sharma, Nandikeshvar, Bhagvati, Lakshminarayan, and others. We will get
blessings at Mangueshi Temples. Shanta Durga Temple has its past dating back to
1730, when the foundation stone was established. The shrine was built of
laterite mud earlier and was later modernized in 1966. Major Goddess of the
temple, Goddess Shantadurga mediates between Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu. Later,
we will proceed for a visit to Margao, the headquarters of South Goa. It
is also a commercial and industrial centre. Margao’s colonial quarter Largo De
Igreja is a historical church square, enclosed by old buildings that have their
own charisma. It is enclosed by old buildings from three sides and the Church
of Holy Spirit on the other. The church is one of Goa’s greatest churches
datable to 1564 when it was built. Its architecture represents the Indian Baroque
style of architecture, with interiors having a glorious feel throughout.

To learn further about
the simple lifestyle of Goa, Ancestral Goa is an ideal place to be in. The
laterite sculpture of Saint Mirabai is absolutely the tallest laterite
sculpture of India. Identity and history are presented through its art
galleries, artefacts centre, an open-air museum.

We will conclude

Chandor. It was built in the 17th century and is located on one side of
the village square, but now divided into two houses with the same doorway. On its
east is a small church that has monuments of St. Francis Xavier. The interior
reminds us of a beautiful past. On its westward is where we can find the
claimed first private library of Goa. Stay overnight in the hotel.
