Goa is a synonym to party. Also known to be party capital of India. Situated in the south coast of India with 20 plus surreal beaches spawning across the entire state.
Mandovi river embraces its capital Panji/Panaji with colorful signboards and shining advertisements of various Casinos. The state is no longer a Union territory though there are some goods that are cheaper due to tax structure. Yes, you know what I mean. đ
There’s also a peaceful side to Goa, which is the southern part of it. Lush green roads full of palm and coconut trees. Beautiful churches, amazing restaurants, laid back hotels away from hustle bustle.
Goa also holds some amazing waterfalls like Dudhsagar, Harvelem. Both of them are situated about 50+ kms from the airport.
