In Goa one can enjoy a harmonious
combination of fine beaches and whispering sea breezes. Most of the people come
to Goa to watch unique play of sun, sand, and sea. In the early morning when the
bright rays of sun make way through the tall palm trees to grace the sandy beaches
and meet anxious waves, the whole scene makes one think of the bounties of nature.
When the early morning riot of colors break, the temple and church bells
ring to produce unique songs of devotion. The very name of Goa invokes images
of deep blue sea, naughty waves, palm trees, whitewashed churches and over-hanging
balconies. But very few know that Goa has more to offer. There are also amazing
forts and temples in Goa that showcase architectural brilliance.
As the saying
goes when it rains in Goa, it pours. Goa in the rains is a sight to behold. Flooded
paddies and lush emerald forest cover, cool temperature, hot & spicy food
adds to the zest.

experience of a full-moon party at Anjuna is invaluable. If you want to experience
the real Goan life-style, try the small fishing villages beside the beaches. If

aroma of the damp earth and the spectacle of the rain-washed palm trees glittering
in the moonlight and shimmering ponds of water.
