Goa in India



Those who haven’t visited Goa tend to imagine it as some kind of Indian Costa Brava. Enowned worldwide for its spectacular beaches that are among the finest in the world, Goa in the west coast of India is a holidaymaker's paradise. Goa is visited by hundreds of thousands of international and domestic tourists each year. Goa has two main tourist seasons: winter and summer.Tourists from abroad (mainly Europe) come to Goa to enjoy the splendid climate in the winter time. In the summertime, tourists from across India come to spend the holidays.
Goa, a tiny emerald land on the west coast of India, the 25th State in the Union of States of India, was liberated from Portuguese rule in 1961. It was part of Union territory of Goa, Daman & Diu till 30 May 1987 when it was carved out to form a separate State. Goa covers an area of 3702 square kilometers and the state is divided into two districts: North Goa and South Goa. Each district is governed by a district collector, an administrator appointed by the Indian government. Goa lies in Western Coast of India and is 594 Kms (by road) away from Mumbai city. However, Goa, like everywhere in India, is never quite what you expect. But these are two very narrow sides of the Goan experience and anyone who spends much time here will discover that Goa contains more variety and vitality than almost anywhere else in India.
The main draws of Goa are the beaches, the beaches in Goa attract thousands of beach lovers and regular tourists from far and wide. The beaches in Goa are classified into the beaches in North and the beaches in South. Anjuna, Vagator, Baga, Dona Paula and Bambolim are among the most famous beaches in North. The beaches of Goa in the north are host a lot of parties and carnivals, while the beaches of south Goa are relatively quieter, and appeal to those looking for comfortable solitude.
