The 130 kms. long coastline of
Goa is set on the golden Konkan
coast along the Arabian Sea. Famous for its white sand beaches and
mesmeric sunsets, this state has been renowned as India's most irresistible
destinations. The regions easygoing ambience, good food and salubrious
climate make it a popular spot to unwind and enjoy the simple, undemanding
pleasures of life on the beach. Separated from the rest of India
by the jungle covered hills of Western Ghats, Goa's heartland and
most densely populated area is the alluvial strip inland from the
beaches - a lush patchwork of paddy field, coconut plantations,
white washed churches and gently meandering rivers.
This city is one of the most dazzling tourist mosaics. Goa combines
old Portuguese architecture with a history that abounds in Indian
mythology. The unending beaches, seascapes, mystical hills and
green groves make this state seem almost utopian. A river cruise
down the Mandovi river with a live display of music and dance
by folk singers in traditional Goan costumes is extremely enjoyable.
Goa also has a rich collection of churches. The most famous ones
being the Church of St. Francis of Assisi, St.Catherine's Cathedral
and Basilica of Bom Jesus. There are a few other visits such as
the ones to The Aguada Fort and Vasco Da Gama that any visitor
must undertake.
There are a vast number of beaches at Goa, each of them attracting
its own different kind of tourists. The Calangute, Baga, Anjuna,
Vagator and Colva beach resorts are the most frequented ones.
As a special attraction, most of these resorts offer visitors
an opportunity to take a crack at exciting water sports.
