Take days from this trip and others into Mix days, and we build one itinerary from them.

Explore both South and North goa in just 5 days. Start your vacation in North Goa.
Begin your Goa journey with a relaxed arrival and check-in, followed by brunch. Ease into the trip with an optional visit to Vagator before exploring the historic Reis Magos Fort and its scenic Mandovi River views. End the day with a relaxed beachside dinner and drinks.
Spend the day discovering Panjim’s Portuguese character, walk through the colourful Fontainhas Latin Quarter. Enjoy traditional Goan cuisine, explore the Church's and Houses of Goa, and later unwind Dona Paula. Finish the evening with a beautiful River sunset cruise followed by dinner.
Start early with a spectacular sunrise at Fort, followed by breakfast and a relaxed morning at beach. Add optional water sports for some adventure, enjoy a beachside lunch, and then explore the historic Aguada Fort and scenic Devil’s Finger. End the day with a relaxed Goan dinner.
Escape the busy coastline and discover the peaceful village landscapes of Divar Island. Explore its historic churches, temples and cultural sites before returning to Old Goa. Finish with a relaxed sunset at Anjuna Beach and dinner.
Leave North Goa behind and make your way towards South Goa at a relaxed pace. After lunch and checking into your hotel, spend the afternoon unwinding at a nearby beach, enjoy sunset from a beach café or shack, and return to your resort for some much-needed leisure time before a relaxed dinner.
Discover some of South Goa’s most beautiful coastline. After lunch, continue to Cola Beach and its unique natural lagoon. Spend the evening enjoying the lagoon, with sunset kayaking as the perfect way to end this beach-filled day.
Keep the morning slow and relaxed before choosing between activities. Continue with a leisurely beachside lunch followed by resort downtime. As darkness falls, head out for a magical guided bioluminescent forest trail before dinner.
Head into Goa’s lush interior for a morning Jeep Safari through Netravali Wildlife Sanctuary, with the opportunity to experience its forest and waterfall landscapes. After lunch, visit the mysterious Netravali Bubbling Lake before returning towards the coast for a slow afternoon at Agonda Beach and, if timing permits, a beautiful sunset.
Wake up to your final morning in Goa, enjoy a relaxed breakfast and prepare for departure. Head to the airport and fly back home after experiencing both the vibrant heritage of North Goa and the peaceful beaches and natural landscapes of South Goa.

Mix and match

Swap a stop in from a similar trip

Each swap says what it displaces, so the trip stays 9 days. A swapped route is a new itinerary, re-planned for you — ₹1,149, not this ready-made PDF: we can't rewrite a document that is already printed. It costs less than a custom itinerary written from scratch, and more than this one as it stands. Leave the swaps alone and this page buys exactly as it always did, downloaded the minute you pay.

Your route as it stands: North Goa · 4n → South Goa · 2n

Before you buy

What exactly do I get?

The full 9-day itinerary, day by day: timings, real places with map links, stays, and food. You can read it in your browser or download the PDF, both the minute you pay. It also sits in your account, so you can open it again from any device, and the GST invoice is emailed with it.

Is there any support after I buy?

Yes, and it is free. If something in the plan does not suit you — a stay outside your budget, a different transport option, restaurants for a dietary need, or combining this with another itinerary — tell us and one of us will sort it out with you on WhatsApp. Message +91 98733 95006 or write to hello@diytinerary.com. We reply on weekdays.

These are not my dates. Can I still use it?

Yes. The itinerary is written by day, not by date, so it works whenever you go — the seasonal notes tell you what changes. If you would rather have it built around your actual dates, group and budget, use Adapt this itinerary for my dates above: that is a new itinerary written for you, and it costs less than one written from scratch.

Can I change the stops?

Yes — use the mix-and-match block above. Each swap says in nights exactly what it displaces, so the trip stays 9 days. A swapped route is re-planned for you rather than this ready-made document.

Is it refundable?

A ready-made itinerary is a file you receive immediately, so it is not refundable as a matter of course. A refund can be requested within 24 hours of a first purchase, and we look at genuine problems case by case — if the document will not open or is not what the page described, tell us and we will fix it or refund it. The full terms are on our refund and cancellation page.

Is GST included?

Yes. The price you see is the final amount, with 18% GST already inside it. Nothing is added at the payment screen, and the invoice carries your state as the place of supply. If you are buying for a company, add the GSTIN on the form and the invoice comes with it so you can claim the input credit.
