Is December a good time to visit Goa?
December is peak season. The Feast of St Francis Xavier on 3 December draws pilgrims to Old Goa, Serendipity Arts Festival has been held in Panjim in mid-December, and Christmas brings midnight masses, crib displays and family feasts. The last ten days are the busiest and most expensive of the year, with minimum-stay rules at most resorts.

Panjim 20–33 °C, dry, clear. Conditions differ by altitude and coast, so check the forecast for each stop a week before you travel.
