Goa, India
Goa is a former Portuguese colony, currently a state in India's West region. It is 3700 square kilometers in size and has a human population
of approximately 1.4 million. Its east-west mix, beaches and syncretic
culture is what attracts an officially-estimated two-and-half million
visitors each year. Some call it "India lite", an easy-to-encounter version of India.
Others label Goa's Panaji (also referred to as Panjim, Ponnje or
Pangim) as India's most charming of state capitals. If Goa is visibly different from the moment you encounter it then, that
has something to do with Goa's unusual past. Obviously South Asia, like
any other corner of this region, Goa's isolation from the rest of India
for 451 years of Portuguese rule, in many ways, shapes its current
reality. Goa has its brown-tiled roofs, beaches, a
reputation for centuries as a place where cultures and people meet. And
undoubtedly, the holiday capital of South Asia. Experience this historically and culturally rich city for yourself when you stay with us!
