What a spice-farm visit includes
A guided walk explains how pepper, cardamom, nutmeg, vanilla and areca (betel) are grown, often with a welcome drink and a stroll past cashew and fruit trees. Most farms finish with an unlimited traditional Goan buffet lunch served on banana leaves.
Where and when
The best-known plantations cluster around Ponda in central Goa, an easy drive from both coasts. It's an all-year activity and pairs naturally with an Old Goa churches stop on the same day.
