Open Roof Thar — The Goa Experience
The Thar’s convertible hard-top roof makes it perfect for Goa. Simply unlatch and fold back the panels to get a completely open-air driving experience. Here are the best routes to drive your open roof Thar in Goa:
- Chapora Fort Road — winding coastal roads with sea views
- Mollem National Park — jungle trails and wildlife spotting
- Dudhsagar Waterfalls access road — the ultimate off-road experience
- Arambol to Ashwem beach stretch — scenic north Goa coastal drive
- Palolem and Agonda — peaceful South Goa beach drives
Thar Roxx vs Standard Thar — Which One to Rent?
The Thar Roxx (2025 model) offers a larger cabin, better ride quality, and a more premium interior while keeping the same open-roof adventure spirit. If you’re travelling with 4 adults and want more legroom and comfort, choose the Roxx. For a classic rugged off-road feel, the standard Thar is perfect.
Closed Roof Thar Options
Prefer air conditioning? We also have the closed roof Thar (manual) and closed roof Thar (automatic) — perfect for Goa’s summer months when you want the Thar experience with full AC comfort.
