Overview

The Mapusa Anjuna Vagator tour is a four-day, three-night private trip along the North Goa coast, with one night each in Mapusa, Anjuna and Vagator and Chapora. The route links Mapusa's bazaar and churches to Anjuna's rocky cove, then to Vagator's cliff beaches and Chapora Fort, all in Goa. It suits couples, friends and families who want markets and sand, between November and February.

Who it suits

Travellers who like markets and short coastal hops more than long drives; not for anyone after a single quiet beach base or south Goa calm

Highlights

Good to know

Market days

Your start day decides which market looks best: Friday is Mapusa's busiest day, while Anjuna's flea market runs on Wednesdays

Fort climb

The walk up to Chapora Fort, on its hill over the river, is easier in shoes with a good grip

Short hops

The three hotels lie only 5 to 8 km apart, which leaves most of each day free for sightseeing

Season

Rain is heaviest from June to September, and the coast is most settled from November to February
