ABOUT GOA

 

 
 

Goa is a small State tucked away on the western coast of India, about 600 km south of Mumbai. At around 105 km in length and 65 km in width, its so small you can drive through end to end within two hours. It is India's top holiday destinations attracting around 1.2 million tourists annually..
Goa's coastline hugs the Arabian sea and is world renowned as a tropical beach paradise.  Divided into approximately 25 picturesque beaches of white coral lined sands and swaying palm trees. There are beaches here to suit all tastes such as the popular beaches of Calangute, Baga and Colva to the secluded beaches such as Palolem, Agonda and Keri.
First time visitors to Goa are struck by the lush greenery.  The land here is nourished by numerous creeks and rivers and is rich in vegetation.  The dense impenetrable rain forest of Western Ghats make up Goa's Eastern border. This area has been labelled by the National Geographic magazine, as one of the richest ecosystems of the planet.  Thousands of plant and bird species are to be found here.
Goa retains the look and feel of a small town where time runs at it's own pace. The narrow countryside roads snake through paddy fields and small villages, winding past whitewashed churches and graceful colonial bungalows. 
The lifestyle is unhurried, you wont find any skyscrapers or pollution here. Tropical escapes don't come any better than this.
