hey raven,
am from bangalore. had been to goa for a week. just came back from there a couple of days back. it was just great. when i spoke to the manager of the hotel where i stayed, he said, because of tsunami, all the tourist crowd is diverted to goa, they have full booking till the end of april. so i guess, its pretty good a idea to travel to goa this march
cheers

If you were wondering about the weather, I visited Goa at the end of March 2004 and had a good time. It was getting pretty hot by then (too hot for me to linger in the sun at noon), and most tourists were gone so I basically had Benaulim beach to myself.

well I guess u r rite...i also got the info. that by end of march there will be no one (Almost),toursits!!!!!....coz in mid of feb after the carnival all the goa people have some festival in which don't arrange parties (i think for fourty dayz.....) so it won't be worth going...
anywayz thanks for the info....

Personally, I'm planning on enjoying Goa in March when there isn't anyone there. And I'm also planning on enjoying it in Monsoon season. Just depends on why you're going.

Raven, you've got some accurate feedback from others so far. march will be hotter and while being a cusp/shoulder season it should see a few more foreign visitors this year as an over flow from south-east asia, post-tsunami. i got back a few days ago, and like me i am sure you heard more american accents in goa than usual. combined with the fact that in march some places in india have school holidays, the bottom line is that the 5-star and 4-star hotels in the south/candolim/baga area will be full, as usual, whereas the more peaceful spots will be, while not deserted, about 50% as populated as they were last week is my guess. there is a significant long-term crowd which is 'sticky' and growing, in my view. it also depends on which part of march you go, the first fortnight will definitely be busier than the second as the charters start tapering off then.
