Best time to go to Cavelossim

Temperatures in South Goa range from hot to pretty hot. And there’s not much seasonal difference – the mercury hovers around 25°C to 30°C year-round. October to February is South Goa at its sunniest – that’s when to make the most of its winter break potential. Monsoon season hits between June and the end of September. Sure, it’ll stay warm – but it’ll also rain a fair bit.

Passports and Visas

You must buy a visa before travelling to India. Eligible UK passport holders can apply for an e-Tourist Visa, you can apply through our visa and travel authorisation partner – Sherpa. If you’re not eligible, you’ll need to apply for a ‘Regular Paper’ visa online and need to make an appointment to visit an ‘Indian Mission/Office’ in the UK as part of the application process. These offices are located in Birmingham, Edinburgh and London.

Don't forget to arrange your travel money and insurance before you go.

Health and safety

You should take out comprehensive travel and medical insurance to cover you while you’re away. It’s a good idea to visit your doctor a month or so before you travel for advice on vaccinations. For the latest health and safety information, visit www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/india/health
