Like a child joyfully rotating a kaleidoscope and chuckling at the changing patterns, one just gets hooked on to Goa. Beauty can be quite inebriating and here you have so much of it - in the golden sands, the blue waters, the sylvan forests and the lakes.

Almost everyone who visits Goa usually does the normal tourist circuits including one or two beaches, bazaars of Mapusa, and Madgoan or Panajim.

But that is not enough. Beauty, they say, does not lie skin deep. So, in Goa, you have to put in more days to fully savor the place, the pleasure of discovering a crab under a stone, churches of Old Goa, temples of small villages, and the thrill of walking on a beach full of crisp sea-shells. The mind stops thinking and the heart begin speaking. Such is the Goa that you may not have seen. Goa has more than 100 km of coastline and the sea has different shades to offer at various places. One can rest assured that the mood of the sea will not be repeated in Goa.
