Once the pride of Portugal’s eastern
empire, Goa has enjoyed prominent place in the travellers’ lexicon for many years
with its magnificent palm - fringed beaches and renowned ‘travellers’ scene. It
offers much more than just the hedonism of sun, sand and sea. Goa has a character quite
distinct from the rest of India.
