All set for Goa yeah? Awesome!

Have you done your packing?


Are you still confused ..what to pack and what not? don't worry here is an ultimate Goa packing list to make your trip hassle-free.


Essentials for Goa:


1. Hand Sanitizer, Face Mask, Covid Vaccination certificate: Way more essential than you think, not only for your Goa trip but for all the forthcoming trips anywhere in the world. Keep your vaccination certificate handy, in case of requirement you can produce it quickly.



2. Sunglasses:

The most obvious thing to pack for protecting eyes and looking stylish. In the coastal regions, the reflection is relatively high, and wearing sunglasses would definitely rest your eyes. Polarized sunglasses could be a good option.


3. Rubber Footwear: Make sure you are packing the right footwear for Goa. A pair of rubber footwear, flip flop, crocs or floaters are best to choose. Don't forget your sneakers if you are planning to have some sports. If you are planning to go clubbing/cruise dinner then you can plan to have some formal shoes/heels.



4. Sunscreen: Must-have item for Goa. It is highly recommended that you always apply sunscreen before you go out to enjoy the beaches in Goa. You can consider buying waterproof sunscreen lotion with SPF level is 40 or 50. Also, make sure you reapply it after a few hours.


5. Swimwear/Beachwear: Don't go on a beach vacation without this, otherwise you will regret it. Can dry quickly and doesn't take up much space. Also, take a quick-drying towel too.





6. Waterproof cellphone pouch: Protect your stuff so that you have peace of mind when enjoying water activities.


7. Hat/Cap: Additional protection to beat the heat and avoid tanning.



8. Driving License (Original) &/or other ID Proof: If you are planning to hire a bike/ car then don't forget to keep your driving license & other ID proofs. Goa, can be better explored by getting drenched in it.




9. Shorts & Cotton trousers: Cotton clothes keep you cool on a hot sunny day. Funkey t-shirts and shorts are preferred. For men the range of clothing may include simple chinos or linen pants and shirts, shorts also work well. Also for females, adorable cotton dresses, tank tops, spaghetti straps, scarf, sarongs, multi-drape coverups and cotton shorts are the ideal choices. Carry some dresses for a romantic evening dinner and beach parties.


10. Medicine: Always carry some medicine along with you. I generally used to have some basic medicine for upset stomach, fever, headache, cough & cold, acidity, pain removing sprays, banded and antiseptic cream. you know yourself better...so just think about what you can have to make you feel comfortable adjusting to a new location. Keep mosquito repellent too if you are planning to go to beaches post-sunset.


11. Lip Balm, wet wipes & hair conditioner: To prevent your lips from drying and protection from salty winds, lip balm is essential to carry. It will be useful for locking moisture. Additionally, you can have wet wipes, exploring beaches and water sports sometimes make you feel to wash your face frequently, wet wipes will be ideal to freshen you up anytime anywhere. Also to protect your hair from harsh winds conditioner is another essential thing to carry.

13. Camera: Well! Well!Well! How can I forget? for photo lovers and collecting memories that you can cherish for a lifetime.


14. Sling Bag: Extremely useful to carry a sling bag for men and women. You can keep essentials like your phone and money and enjoy activities freely. you can also plan to have a foldable backpack in your suitcase...who knows you will run out of space.


15. Power bank: So that you can't go out of batteries and take lots of pictures and insta-worthy reels.


Pack light! Happy Travelling!
