Its a chilled out holiday destination. Still has the small place feel and lush greenery around it. It is state with a population of around 17 lakh only. Most of the land area is under forest cover and small narrow roads passing through it. Houses are built on the sides of the narrow roads and beautifully pained in bright pastel colors. Around 60% Hindus and 35% christians inhabit the place.
The place is one of the oldest churches in the country. St Francis Xaviers church has a more than 400 year old body preserved in the form of a mummy and it is taken out every year. The place has beaches- both sandy and rocky, Anjuna being the rocky treacherous beach and Calangute, Bagha, Miramar and Colva being the sandy ones. The sandy beaches have water sports like parasailing, motor boats, etc. There are shacks on the beaches with very cheap liquor and seafood. The water cruise has a lovely sunset tour where they present Goan dance and music.
A nice place for a sunny beach vacation

Wow..nice trip to Goa. I wish I can also visit this place someday. I have heard that the stunning beach resorts in Goa are the most visited tourist destination in India.
