It’s a state in Western India, a country that speaks several languages but has Hindi and English as official. Well, in Goa you will find places like Basilica of Bom Jesus and Forte Aguada, which both sound like places in Portugal. That’s because Goa was a colony of the Portuguese until 1961! Got curious? Goa is only a 1 hour flight away from Mumbai and a 2 hour flight from New Delhi.
Wondering if India should be your next destination?
Traveling will ruin your life — but that's not necessarily a bad thing
Goa’s coastlines stretch along the Arabian Sea and offer pleasant warm weather. Goa is well known for its beaches, ranging from popular stretches at Baga and Palolem to fishing villages such as Agonda. Anjuna and Calangute Beach are also popular among travelers. Goa is a good place to experience water-related sports such as parasailing, jet ski, boating, water skiing & banana boat rentals. You should try to avoid the Monsoons months (June, July, August, September) when the rains are heavy. Goa State Museum and Instituto Camoes are good places to know more about Goa’s history.
