Goa :This small state is one of India's
most dazzling tourist attractions. Goa deserves every bit of the
sobriquet, the 'Pearl of the East'.
Goa successfully blends old Portuguese
architecture and traditions, with a lifestyle that abounds with Indian
mythology. Its unending beaches, pristine beauty of the seascape, its
mystical hills and groves, the rhythmic pounding of the sea, its swaying
palms - all render it a fairytale land for the traveler.
The beaches of tourist interest are Colva, Calangute, Vagator, Harmal, Anjuna and Miramar. Other tourist attractions are
Basilica
of Bom Jesus and Se Cathedral churches at Old Goa; Kavlem, Mardol,
Mangesh, Bandora temples; Aguad, Terekhol, Chapora and Cabo de Rama Forts;
Dudhsagar and Harvalem Waterfalls and Mayem Lake Resort. The state also
has fascinating wildlife sanctuaries like Bondla, Cotigao, Molem and Dr.
Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary at Chorao.
