2 Days in Vagator for a Nature Getaway

This itinerary is all about soaking in the natural beauty without rushing—think quiet beach walks, hidden viewpoints, and fresh seafood under the stars.

Start your day early with the soft golden light of sunrise over Vagator Beach. The calm waters and empty shoreline make it ideal for a peaceful walk or just sitting on the rocks to watch the waves. The red cliffs framing the beach add a dramatic touch to the morning.

Explore Chapora Fort
Head to Chapora Fort, a short hike up from Vagator Beach. Made famous by Bollywood, the fort offers panoramic views of the Arabian Sea, Chapora River, and the surrounding coastline. The ruins are minimal, but the vistas are worth the climb.

Visit the Hilltop at Vagator
A short walk from Ozran Beach, the Hilltop area is famous for its legendary trance parties, but by day it offers stunning views of the coastline.
