Spice Tour and Home-Cooked Goan Lunch at an Organic Plantation

Learn about Goa’s traditional form of farming and discover a vast variety of spices, medicinal herbs, and tropical fruits on this 1.5-hour tour at Dudhsagar Plantation. Cinnamon, pepper, nutmeg, and trees like cashew, coconut, areca nut, and teak thrive on this 100% organic farm, where you'll take an informative walk to hear about the uses of spices and plants. At the end of the guided tour, you have the opportunity to pick up some local products before enjoying a lunch of homemade Goan dishes.

Your Goa farming and spice experience takes place at Dudhsagar Plantation, where you'll meet at the plantation restaurant and be greeted with a glass of freshly prepared herbal tea.

After a short introduction, your 45-minute tour begins with your guide, who shows you a variety of spices and tropical fruits. Gain insight into organic agriculture, bio-gas production, and the distillation of cashew feni, which you can sample if you are of drinking age, along with the equally popular Urak. Children can try their hand at drawing water from the traditional well with a rope.

When your tour is over, a buffet of vegetarian dishes awaits. You also have the opportunity to purchase locally grown spices and other farm products to take with you, if you wish. Your visit officially ends with lunch, but you are welcome to explore the plantation's nature trail on your own, if you like.
