Flights to India were suspended in March 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. From November 2021, the country began to let foreign tourists in, but soon closed entry again without quarantine due to an outbreak of a new strain of covid “omicron”. Now, as the press service of Coral Travel reminded, to enter India, Russians need a passport valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry, as well as a visa, which is assisted by tour operators.

Goa is a state in southwestern India, the smallest in the country. Its west coast is washed by the Arabian Sea; resorts and hotels popular with foreign tourists are located there. In addition to beach vacations, Goa offers an interesting excursion program, since many architectural monuments and churches of the 16th and 17th centuries, when the state was a colony of Portugal, have been preserved here. Old Goa was called the city of churches.

The high tourist season in Goa lasts from November to February, when the least rainfall falls.
