About Goa

This very tiny patch of India’s West Coast is a very large-hearted land. Between its Portuguese past, its fishing village feel, its world famous beaches, ancient temples and churches, paddy fields and plantations, there’s something in Goa for everyone. The Portuguese, who ruled from 1510 to 1961, left their imprint on local language, religion, cuisine, music, and, of course, built heritage. The sea, beaches, and hills were gifted by nature. Tourism brought water sports, Western migrants brought alternative ways of life, and everyone seems to have brought beer and fish. The Goan meanwhile is sussegad, laidback and easy... Enjoy this heady mix, it will leave a lasting impression on you!
