Goa turns all green and beautiful during the monsoons in the months of June till September. Although the main season is during the summer, we have a lot of tourists visiting Goa in the rains as well. The monsoons in Goa let you unwind amidst nature and indulge in a lot of monsoon activities like treks, river rafting, fishing, monsoon cruises and so on. 

It is important for those travelling to Goa to make sure to carry stuff to protect you from the rain and endure the monsoons with ease. You will need to step out of your home or vehicle right on to the streets in the middle of a heavy shower, so the most important thing that you need to carry is a rain coat or a big enough umbrella to secure yourself. The rains in Goa can get very heavy so make sure to carry a decent sized umbrella.

Remember to wear synthetic clothes. Travelling in the rain will make you get wet and your clothes will get damp and begin to smell. Synthetic clothes dry faster and that is why it is a preferred material for the rains. As far as the types of clothing go, try and carry shorts or knee length pants as these are the best options during the monsoons. Long sleeves shirts/tops or trousers should be avoided.

Make sure to carry with you insect or mosquito repellent. Rainy season is the breeding period for mosquitoes and they carry several diseases. Protecting yourself from these insects is essential so remember to pack repellents in your bag.

One of the things that will be very handy for you in the monsoons is a hair dryer. Hair takes the longest time to dry and you want to keep yourself dry at all times to avoid catching a cold, so make sure to pack your hair dryer with you.

You will also need to protect your luggage as well as electronic items from the rain, so get waterproof covers for your bags as well as waterproof covers for your phones. Pack them up in these covers well and avoid the possibility of them getting wet.

Make sure to carry footwear that is appropriate for the rainy season. Avoid leather options and a make sure that your footwear has a very good grip as the roads tend to be very slippery in the rainy season. 

Carry with you a few board games or a pack of playing cards. There is a high possibility that you may be stuck indoors in your hotel at times so these games can make the perfect option for you to pass your time. You could also carry a few books where you can pass your time by reading them.

Ladies do not forget to carry your waterproof make up so that you can have your look stay on for longer periods of time.

Make a check-list of all these items as all of them are equally essential for you to get through the monsoons in Goa.
