Tour with Goa

On the western coast of India in the coastal belt of Konkon a beautiful "Tourist Paradise" is located, the state of Goa. It is also known as "Pearl of the Orient". The magnificent scenic beauty and the architectural splendors of its temples, churches, and old houses have made Goa a firm favorite with travelers around the world.



Goa is much more than just beaches and sea. It has an essence of ancient and unique history, rich culture and some of the prettiest natural scenery that India has to offer. According to legends from Hindu mythology Parshuram, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu is the creator of Goa.


Panaji (Panjim) is the state capital located on the banks of the Mandovi river and Vasco, Margao, Mapusa and Ponda are the other major towns. Goa is serviced by an international/national airport located at Dabolim near Vasco. An intra-state and inter-state bus network also plays an important role in getting locals and visitors alike in and around Goa.

Goa has a multi-hued and distinctive lifestyle quite different from the rest of India. It is a meeting point of races, religions and cultures of East and West over the centuries.
All the communities have mutual respect towards one another and their secular outlook has given Goa a long and an unbroken tradition of religious harmony. The warm and tolerant nature of the Goans allows them to celebrate and enjoy the festivals of various religions such as Ganesh Chaturthi, Diwali, Christmas, Easter and Id with equal enthusiasm.
Goan cuisine is a blend of different influences the Goans had to endure during the centuries. The staple food in Goa is fish and rice, both among the Hindus and the Catholics. Unlike the Christian food the Hindu Goan food is not strongly influenced by the Portuguese cuisine. Since the arrival of the Hippies in the sixties, Goa has been a major destination on the itinerary of international and domestic tourists. The vast green expanse of the Sahyadri mountain range ensures that Goa has an abundance of water. The sea and rivers abound in seafood - prawns, mackerels, sardines, crabs and lobsters are the most popular with the locals and the visitors.
The tourist season in Goa begins in late September and carries on through early March. The weather in these months is usually dry and pleasantly cool. Then the weather gets fairly hot around May and by end of June, Goa receives the full blast of the Indian monsoon with sudden downpours and tropical thunderstorms. However it is also during the monsoon that Goa is probably at its most beautiful, with greenery sprouting all around.

English is spoken widely all over Goa. Konkani and Marathi are the state languages. The national language Hindi is also well understood in most areas around the state.


The natural beauty, the fabulous beaches and sunshine, love the laid-back, peaceful, warm and friendly nature of the Goan people make people feel relaxed so come and feel the warmth and enjoy in Go.. Go... Goa.
