Goa

Dreaming of a relaxing holiday experience… with long days spent on sandy beaches? Then Goa is the place to be. Love for seafood would be an added bonus, since that can be enjoyed here in plenty. It is warm and humid in Goa almost throughout the year. Renowned for its beaches, places of worship and world heritage architecture, Goa is visited by large numbers of international and domestic tourists each year. Goa is well connected by national highways, rail and air. This tiny state is also a biodiversity hotspot owing to its location on the Western Ghats (Konkan region).
Tourism is generally focussed on the coastal region of Goa as it has excellent beaches such as Anjuna, Baga, Calangute, Majorda and Colva. It also has many famous National Parks like Bondla Wildlife Sanctuary, Molem Wildlife Sanctuary and the Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary .
Those who wish to know Goa better could visit the Fort Aguada, Goa State Museum, Naval Aviation Museum, the Wax museum on Indian history, culture and heritage and the Goa Science Centre (in Panjim).
Options for getting around in the state are privately operated buses, unmetered taxis, auto rickshaws, ferry boats for river crossings and the unique motorcycle taxis that transport a single pillion rider. Konkani is the spoken language in Goa. October to March would be a great time to explore this beautiful coastal paradise. Goa is alive with celebrations during Christmas and New Year where one can totally get immersed in its joyous and vibrant culture.
