Goa packing checklist.

Tick it off as you pack — it remembers on this device.

Quick answer

For Goa, pack ID for every guest (hotels ask), a driving licence if you'll rent, light cotton clothes plus something modest for churches and temples, swimwear, SPF 50 sunscreen, a hat, mosquito repellent and a power bank. From June to September add a rain jacket and dry bags.

Packing tips

  • Hotels in India ask for photo ID for every adult guest — carry originals.
  • Pack light: you can buy beachwear, sarongs and flip-flops cheaply at Goa's markets.
  • Going in the rains? Read Goa in the monsoon.
