Visit Goa

Goa is one of the smallest Indian States on the west coast, approximately 650 kilometers south of Bombay. Goa is connected from Bombay by several flights, buses and trains and therefore one has a varied choice to make depending on convenience.
Goa was ruled by the Portuguese several years ago and the Portuguese legacy still lives on; the cuisine, the language, the architecture and the word "Susegad" derived from "Susegador". The local language is Konkani, English is widely spoken and easily understood. Even the Konkani language has several Portuguese words to name a few Janela-window, Sala-hall or living room, Lugar-room, Lata-tin or a can, Caderna-note book, Livre-book, Lapis-pencil and so on.
Rice and seafood constitutes the main diet of the Goans. Among the fruits mango, cashew, jackfruit, papaya, banana, pineapple, custard apple are available in plenty. Coconut trees are a common sight.
Having a long coastline means one thing -plenty of beaches and seashore to enjoy. Each beach is unique and has its own beauty. Most of the beaches are connected by road from the Goan cities. The key here is the lesser the transport frequency to the beach the more beautiful and pristine is the beach. Other tourist attractions are the temples and churches - several of them and the interiors of these holy places and simply majestic.
Hotel accommodation is available to suit various budgets. As a thumb rule any accommodation by the beache side or vicinity will be expensive, unless you opt to stay with the local fisherman right on the beach.
For sake of convenience reference is often made to North Goa and South Goa.
