Here’s Why Visiting Goa Is A Must…
Simply put, Goa is a complete holiday destination — beaches, rivers, plains, hills, jungles, museums, architecture, history, culture, weather, nightclubs, shopping and everything else that you can think of. If you ask, ‘Why visit Goa’ to different people, the answers will vary based on their age, temperament or interests. But some things rule everyone’s ‘reasons to visit Goa’ list.
1) BEACHES OFF COURSE:
For its 3,702 km square of area, Goa has an astounding number of beaches — 36 in all! What’s more exciting is that each Goa beach has a distinctiveness of its own.
Talk Goa, talk beaches ……….
2) BREATH TAKING VIEWS:
Travel around Goa on a bike (very commonly available on rent for around 2 quids a day), and you’ll realize how much more there is to Goa than just beaches. Lazy rivers, swaying coconut palms, majestic waterfalls and cliffs add to the natural scenic beauty of Goa. But that’s not all! Long lanes wind through miles of jungles or countryside, and little bridges rest on planks of wood and iron beneath which run train tracks……………..
GO GOAAAA
3) MASSAGE:
Take this on the beach or at a massage center — Goa offers you numerous options for a relaxing massage. It’s also a perfect method to boost your immunity and pamper your body with the essential minerals that you usually tend to neglect.
4) THE ARCHITECTURE CULTURE:
The Churches and Convents of Goa have been declared a world cultural heritage by the UNESCO. But the architectural beauty of the houses and villas of even a tiny Goan village may take your breath away. Goa’s architecture is a unique mix of Portuguese and Hindu Goan styles. Take a day trip to Old Goa that has loads to offer, including a museum of Christian Art, an Archaeological Museum and Wax World, Goa’s answer to Madam Tussauds.
5) WATER SPORTS (ah, so obvious):
Every beach in Goa offers water sports facilities. Banana boats, water scooters, windsurfing, parasailing — you name it, Goa has it. If you are visiting Goa for an adrenaline rush, you won’t ever be disappointed in Goa’s water sports.
6) FOOD:
Tiger prawns, lobsters, fish steaks — the freshness of seafood makes Goa’s food definitely delicious. Traditional Goan cuisine with its vindaloo, sorpotel, xakuti and the refreshingly lip-smacking sol kadi leave you asking for more
7) GOA TRANCE:
Front Line Assembly, Meat Beat Manifesto, Front 242, A Split-Second, Acid House, Ozric Tentacles — sounds familiar? Then you know what we are talking here. Goa trance developed as a result of the popularity of hippie culture in Goa in the 60s and 70s. Originally, the music was aimed to get dancers into a collective ‘trance’ through hypnotic beats and melodies. It is still an integral part of Goa’s rave parties, which are generally hosted during Christmas and New Year when the sound of techno music echoes on the beaches from midnight to 8 in the morning………………..
8) SNEAK IN BIZZARE :
This one is especially for the female travelers. While India is notorious for its cat-calling males, Goa is one place in India where you can really be yourself. Dress up just the way you like!
THE best place for a holiday………….. with all the thrills and chills
Go Goa …….
