WATERS OF MEMORIES

The gurgling sound of water flowing through the muddy pathways evokes memories of childhood paper boats sailing in Goa's streams. The whole experience is intertwined with wistful nostalgia.

MISTY, DEWY MORNINGS

Waking up hearing the rain as you peer at the hills covered in mist and dew, perfectly hiding the greens, gives a comforting feeling in monsoons.

MONSOON PERFECT

Toiling farmers, undeterred by rains beating down, inspire a mingled feeling of nostalgia and awe. It's these little nostalgic experiences that make Goa's monsoon in the villages so perfect.
