India Seven days covers Goa in full plus Hampi (UNESCO) or Mumbai. Days 1-3 are North Goa; Days 4-5 are South Goa with the Park Hyatt; Day 6 moves to Hampi or Mumbai; Day 7 departs.
A full week is enough to actually understand Goa. Three days for the major districts, three days for nearby regions, and one day for the offbeat neighborhoods most tourists miss. The back half of the trip is more about texture than checking landmarks — your photos get more diverse and you walk away with a three-dimensional sense of the city.
