Though Goa is the smallest state of India in terms of geographical
area, it commands almost a monopoly over the inflow of tourists in
India. It is located on the western coast of India which is also
known as the Konkan coast. It is surrounded by the state of
Maharashtra on the north, Karnataka on the east and south and the
Arabian Sea on its west. The capital city of Goa is known as Panaji
or Panjim and the largest city in Goa is Vasco-da-Gama.
Goa is truly the hub of tourism in India and provides international
standards of holidaying. To promote tourism and increase the inflow
of tourists, the state has maintained world class beaches and other
tourist attractions. On one hand you will find casinos at par with
those at Las Vegas and on the other hand you will find ancient
churches that provide the perfect picture of the deep religious
faiths of the Goans.
You can find your own areas of interest in Goa since it provides a
plethora of choices. You can explore the wildlife sanctuaries if you
are nature lover or you can try water sports at the beaches or just
relax with a massage at the beach resorts. Goa will truly excite the
traveler in you and will leave you mesmerized with incidents that
cannot be experienced anywhere else. Travel to Goa to experience
this magic! |
