Are You Going to Goa This Summer?

Goa, simultaneously called as ‘Rome of the East’, ‘Tourist Heaven’ and ‘Pearl of the Orient’, is a far-flung land on the west coast of India in the coastal belt famed as Konkan. The glorious picturesque sceneries along with the architectural gems of its ornate temples, quaint churches and old manor houses have made Goa a solid hit with the tourists from every part of the globe. Snuggled on the sweeping hills of the Ghats aka Sahyadri Ranges, Goa is bordered on the north by Maharashtra, on the east by Gujarat, on the south by Karnataka, and on the west by the Arabian Sea. 

Goa's geology ranges between seashores, wilderness, and prosperous farmlands. Most of the region’s growth is along the coastline, where you will hit upon all the resorts Goa is known for, including the two most important towns, Panaji in central Goa and Margao towards the south. Those who are well acquainted with India will tell you that Goa is an absolute incongruence; a province that has Indian aspects certainly, but is unambiguously stands as its own being, modeled by a unique set of incidents and influences. This exclusiveness you can find in any of the Goa HolidayPackages. 

Also down the coast are countless paddy fields that stretch as far as eyes can see not to mention coconut-palm groves in thickets and a number of small towns. Just remember one thing. You may come across words like ‘wado’, ‘vado’ and ‘wadi’ in any addresses. They all mean streets or lanes. Make towards interiors to enjoy nature at her best. Perhaps this is how the phrase of unwinding in the lap of nature, so popular with tourists came about. Gushing water falls in small and large sizes, bird sanctuaries, and shrines entrenched in seemingly impenetrable palm forest, all found easily as long as you have an expert guide. Much beyond west, in the direction of Karnataka, are the mounts of the Ghats. This is truly a dream come true for trekkers. 

They say Goa is for the ultimate party animals and of course an average party goes on till the wee hours. The flow of liquors is unstoppable and so are the people there. So why do you hesitate? Its vacation time. Go for it. Bon Voyage!
