TOURIST HUB OF INDIA

Goa is one of Indias special places. A State seemingly blessed with fabulous weather, even more fabulous beaches, delightful people, amazing food, hill-top forts, little white-washed chapels, soaring Portugueseera cathedrals, a unique cultural legacy-small wonder, hence Goa is one of Indias prime holiday destinations. The beaches in Goa, like the others along the Konkan coast, are long, and straight, and

fringed with palm trees, but unlike much of the neighboring coastline, Goa has an impressive infrastructure of hotels and beach resorts, restaurants and bars, which cater to all price ranges, from top-notch 5-star luxury, to beach-side shacks.
