Arrive, meet your driver and check in. Keep the first evening light: a walk around Calangute, dinner and an early night.

An early start beats the crowds and the midday heat; lunch is on the way. Evening: Beach shacks at Baga and Candolim, casinos on the Mandovi river and live music at Tito's Lane.

Breakfast, check out and transfer for your flight or onward journey.
If you have more or less time: 2 nights: about ₹7,500 to ₹15,000 per person; 5 nights: about ₹15,000 to ₹30,000 per person (land cost, flights extra).
