Goa
A beachside carnival.
Unforgettable Goa, a heady blend of serenity and excitement down a 100 km coastline, studded with some of the world's most beautiful beaches - Calangute, Colva, Baga, Dona Paula, Bogmalo.
Idyllic seaside stretches where you create your own kind of holiday. Sun bathing in a quiet secluded spot or choosing the exhilarating thrills of parasailing, speed boating, water skiing, wind surfing and deep-sea diving.
For the Goans, life is a celebration-to the melody of guitars and mellow songs. A feast of its famous cuisine and a spirit of joyous fun.
