Goa Vacation Guide
Goa is a state in west India, previously a Portuguese colony.
Goa is famous the world over for its beautiful beaches and party culture. Once a year Goa hosts a carnival. Most of the beaches are lined with shacks which serve as pub and restaurants or lounge and party place. The culture is quite laidback and relaxed. Goa caters to the "hippy" in people, with flea markets and weekend bazaar selling handicrafts, clothes and arts.
As the tax on booze is close to nil, booze here is VERY cheap. This, combined with the laid back attitude of the locals makes Goa a very 'happy' place. A lot of expats have made Goa their home.
Apart from the beaches, Goa has old churches, old town area, temples and forts to visit. You can enjoy boat cruises and water sports along some of the beaches, and go out to sea to watch the dolphins surface.
Outskirts and beaches are dotted with pubs, restaurants, a few world class clubs/discos, a range of resorts, casinos and high class hotels. Goa cuisine is a good mix of western and Indian cuisine and can appeal to most travellers, especially when had with some local wine. If you love fish, you will love goa.
Goa is well connected by rail, road and air. Cheap transport can be rented at Goa. Venture further north or further south along the coast from Goa for more relaxing and beautiful beaches in Gokarna, Karwar, Harihareshwar, Ganpatipule, et al. Goa is also close to nice forest trails that run along waterfalls.
Goa is one of the most tourist friendly and safe places in India.
