Deccan Odyssey (Day by Day) Tour
Day 04 : Goa (Saturday)
Brilliant
lush green fields surrounding village and bamlets, white washed churches standing
out against occasional empty patches of startling red soil. Welcome to Goa,
the land of India's finest golden sand beaches, jungle clad hills, imposing
ancient churches and elegant mansions, splashed with colour ofbougainvillea.
Goa is indeed a great collage of sights, experiences and history.
Once in Goa, you can start off with Old Goa. Take a walk amid the ruins, ramble
in the vast gardens and grounds of the old church buildings. Basilica of Bom
Jesus, Se Cathedral and the Church of St. Francis of Assissi, that began as
a mosque but now is an archaeological museum for Goan antiques.
Next, free time for a short walk in the city of Panjim a Capital of Goa. City
is built on the left bank of the Mandovi river contains archbishop palace, a
modern port, churches and long winding streets lined with remarkably well preserved
old houses. One can do some shopping to carry memories of this beautiful State.
It's time for an afternoon finger licking Goan delicacies.
Next stop is Dona Paula, a small palm fringed beach with casuarinas groves and
tranquility. Visit Fontanhas, the Latin quarters at Panjim. The day has ended,
but it Goa, it is just the beginning. Non stop fun, virgin beaches, ancients
sites and caves, religious icons and shrines are set deep in your mind as you
head back to the Madgaon station. Wine and dine on board the royal train. It's
true, no matter how much time you have in Goa, it will always seem too little.
