Experience India’s Biggest Street Carnival

A unique blend of culture, heritage, and fun in India’s party capital.

Held every year in February or March prior to Lent, a Goa Carnival tour in India provides a vibrant getaway into one of the most vibrant celebrations in the nation. This four-day celebration, which has its roots in Portuguese colonial customs, turns Goa into a thriving center for dancing, music, and celebration. The colorful parades, intricate floats, and street acts, which are headed by the symbolic "King Momo," who proclaims a season of joy and feasting, are all part of the carnival, which is celebrated in cities like Panaji, Margao, Vasco, and Mapusa. While taking in the live music, street celebrations, and masquerade balls, tourists savor traditional Goan dishes like feni and shrimp. The carnival’s highlight is the big procession, exhibiting costumes, humorous plays, and cultural fusion. The experience is improved with optional activities including dolphin tours, water sports, and Tito's Lane nightlife. Travelers seeking both culture and joy are drawn to this winter vacation, which is easily accessible by Dabolim Airport and combines leisure with celebration, providing a unique peek into Goa's Indo-Portuguese heritage and carefree spirit.

Celebrate Goa’s Portuguese Cultural Spirit

Goa Carnival Festival Tours in India offer a lively and unforgettable experience of one of the country’s most joyful celebrations. Rooted in Goa’s Portuguese heritage, the Carnival is held every year before the Christian season of Lent and transforms the state into a vibrant playground of music, color, and celebration.


For four energetic days, the streets of Goa—especially in Panaji, Mapusa, Margao, and Vasco da Gama—come alive with grand parades featuring decorated floats, dancers in flamboyant costumes, live bands, and masked performers. The festival is traditionally led by the symbolic King Momo, who invites everyone to eat, drink, and celebrate without inhibition. Laughter, rhythm, and freedom define the spirit of this unique event.

Goa Carnival Festival Tours are thoughtfully designed to give travelers guided access to the best parade routes, cultural highlights, and festive zones. Visitors witness traditional dances, street performances, and local music while also enjoying Goa’s coastal charm and relaxed vibe. The Carnival is not only a visual spectacle but also a cultural bridge connecting European traditions with Indian hospitality.

Beyond the parades, evenings turn into lively street parties filled with music, food, and joyful gatherings. These tours often include heritage walks, local cuisine tastings, and time to relax on Goa’s famous beaches. Goa Carnival Festival Tours are perfect for travelers seeking culture, celebration, and unforgettable memories in one of India’s most vibrant destinations.

Regards From Travelers

AGRA OVERNIGHT TOUR FROM HYDRABAD

“Amazing experience with everything you've had done! I can't express how delighted my parents were when I arranged this outing for them when they were in Hyderabad. Since I wasn't going with them, I wanted to make sure they could see the Taj Maha without having to make any plans, and this trip fulfills that goal. The organization was excellent at communicating and handled all of the organizing, which made the vacation really simple and wonderful. I wanted to locate a trip that would be simple for my elderly parents, and they had nothing but positive things to say about it. They had a great day, and every little thing was well thought out.”

AGRA OVERNIGHT TOUR FROM BANGALORE

“The Taj Mahal Sunrise and Agra Overnight Tour from Bangalore was an absolutely incredible experience that we will not soon forget. We had plenty time to visit the famous Taj Mahal thanks to the well-planned trip. We got the chance to see the dawn over the Taj in the morning, and it was just magnificent. Mr. Abhishek, our tour guide, was well-informed and gave us a wealth of information about the region's past. After that, we explored the Sheesh Mahal and the Agra Fort, both of which were really beautiful. We got the opportunity to tour the local markets and have some delectable local cuisine in the evening. Overall, I would heartily suggest this trip to anybody wishing to discover Agra's culture and take in the splendor of the Taj Mahal.”

Golden Triangle Tour With Mumbai And Goa

“The Golden Triangle with Mumbai and Goa tour by A&A India Tours was an incredible adventure that perfectly blended India’s historical grandeur with vibrant city life and coastal bliss! Starting in Delhi, we explored the majestic Red Fort and Qutub Minar, followed by the breathtaking Taj Mahal in Agra and Jaipur’s stunning Amber Fort and Hawa Mahal. Our guide, Abhishek, brought each site alive with captivating stories, and the Vande Bharat Express made the Delhi-Agra journey swift and luxurious. Mumbai’s highlights included the Gateway of India, Elephanta Caves, and bustling Marine Drive, immersing us in the city’s dynamic energy. The tour culminated in Goa, where we relaxed on Palolem Beach, explored Old Goa’s historic churches, and savored spicy seafood curries. The accommodations, from 5-star hotels in the Golden Triangle to beachside resorts in Goa, were exceptional. A&A’s flawless planning ensured seamless transfers, curated meals, and cultural experiences like a Rajasthani dance performance in Jaipur and a spice market tour in Goa. Their eco-conscious approach and warm hospitality shone throughout. This tour was a brilliant mix of culture, history, and leisure, leaving us with unforgettable memories. We’re already excited for our next trip with A&A! Highly recommend this diverse and exhilarating journey to anyone exploring India!”

GOLDEN TRIANGLE WITH WILDLIFE

“The Golden Triangle with Ranthambore Wildlife Tour by A&A India Tours was an extraordinary adventure that left us spellbound! This 8-day journey perfectly blended India’s cultural grandeur with thrilling wildlife experiences. Exploring Delhi’s Red Fort and Qutub Minar, Agra’s majestic Taj Mahal, and Jaipur’s Amber Fort was a deep dive into history, enriched by our guide Priya’s captivating storytelling. The Vande Bharat Express made the Delhi-Agra leg swift and comfortable. The highlight, though, was Ranthambore National Park—a bucket-list experience! Our early morning safari was unforgettable, spotting a majestic tiger, deer, and vibrant birdlife, guided by an expert naturalist who knew every trail. ”

Golden Triangle Tour with Orcha and Khajuraho

“This vacation was fantastic. Due to COVID, I had to wait three years for it. There was wonderful communication. I received prompt answers to any queries I had before the trip. The airport was picked up on schedule. In fact, I arrived with a lovely necklace of fresh flowers. Everything proceeded according to plan. The lodgings were pleasant and tidy. Naturally, the food was excellent! I had a long list of things I wanted to do while there, and Abhishek and Ankur, the greatest driver, met them all. Ankur was kind, professional, and a true gentleman. My door was always open and closed. He always had a bottle of water ready for me when we returned from our sightseeing excursion. You receive what you paid for, with no additional costs or hidden fees. In fact, I feel like I received a lot more. After drop-off, Abhishek waited for me to clear security and exit the airport, going above and beyond to ensure my satisfaction. After that, he contacted me many times to check on me and make sure everything was going smoothly at the airport. I am a woman traveling alone. I never worried about my safety. I now have two amazing Indian buddies.”
