Take
a few days to relax in one of the world’s premier beach resorts. Goa is
yet another world within the kaleidoscope of India. This time, a world
of empty golden beaches and palm-fringed rivers, sunny villas and sleepy
hamlets. Pleasent white washed towns house elaborate churches, a legacy
of four centuries of Portuguese rule. The people are 38% Catholic, easy-going
and hospitable. At frequent intervals they celebrate Life with grand carnivals
of feasting, dance, and music.
A
complete range of water-sports and beach activities is available at several
fabulous resorts along the coast. In addition, we can arrange a car, a
boat or a motorcycle for day trips into the country. On such, trips we
can also arrange overnight stays in traditional Goan homes with a fun-loving
family.
