Goa
Heritage Tourism
Variously
known as
"Rome of the East",
"Tourist Paradise"
and
"Pearl of the Orient", the state of Goa is located on the
western coast of India in the coastal belt known as Konkan.
The magnificent scenic beauty and the architectural splendours of its temples,
churches and old houses have made Goa a firm favourite with travellers around
the world.
But then, Goa is much more than just beaches and sea. It has a soul which goes
deep into unique history, rich culture and some of the prettiest natural scenery
that India has to offer.
Ensconced
on the slopes of the Western ghats (Sahyadri ranges) Goa is bounded on the North
by Sindhudurg district of Maharashtra, on the East by Belgaum, on the South
by Karwar district of Kamataka and on the West by Arabian Sea. Its rivers, Tiracol,Chapora,
Mandovi, Zuari, Sal and Talpona, which are navigable throughout the year, have
their origin in the Sahyadri ranges and flow westward into the Arabian Sea,
60 kms. away, breaking the long coast line covering a length of 105 kms. into
enchanting estuaries and bays which mark off idyllic palm-fringed beaches like
Arambol, Vagator,Atijuna, Baga and Calangute in the North and Colva. Betui and
Palolem in the South.
Goa, a tiny emerald land on the West Coast of India, with its natural scenic
beauty, attractive beaches and temples famous for its architecture, feasts and
festivals and above all hospitable people with a rich cultural milieu, has an
ideal tourist profile.
