Goa is more than its vast shorelines and party culture. A multicolored mix of Indian and Portuguese ethnicity, sweetened with sun, ocean, sand, fish, and other worldliness, there's no place in India like it. On India's west drift, Goa is associated with a close Portuguese connection and rich history. It's amongst the main tourist hubs in India as it pulls in an approx 2.5 million visitors each year. East meets West in this sun-drenched land, the shorelines and beaches are filled with tranquil pleasure seekers and the churches, mosques and untamed life asylums make Goa one of the most distinctive states in India. It is the most-adored beach destination in India. It has a lot more than the ocean, sand, surf and, obviously, the beautiful sunsets, to hold one returning for more. There is a ting of sentiment in the downpours, especially when you are near the ocean side, and all the more so when you are in Goa! Lavish greenery, spouting cascades, a beautiful ride along the slope side
territories, you just can?t get enough of it.
Goa's greatest plus point is without a doubt it's practically continuous string sand beaches. This gleaming strand extends along the Arabian Sea from the tip to the toe of the state, and every beach has built up its own identity. It has Baga beach from the palm-bordered sands of Palolem, to Anjuna or the exquisite laid-back Mandrem. Need to top up your Zen and in addition your tan? Goa has for you the dawn jujitsu sessions, beach yoga, spas, and pretty much every other type of profound investigation. The fragrances, flavors, and kind of cooking will shock and entice everyone regardless of whether it's an exemplary fish curry rice, a morning bhali-pau, an interesting vindaloo, with its mixtures of wine vinegar and garlic, or a fiery xacuti sauce. Their permanent stamp is apparent in the state's ornate design, churches, disintegrating fortresses, sorrowful fado music and the brilliant heritage buildings of Old Goa. The place has it all for you!
