Did you know that there is a small Indian state by the name of Goa that has some of the most beautiful landscapes and beaches in the entire country?

If you didn’t, welcome to your introduction to Goa, which is a destination that should demand our attention for several reasons.

Goa is located on the western coast of India. It has a spectacular coastline on the Indian Ocean which offers visitors with a fantastic panorama of sand and warm water. It is also unique culturally due to its heritage as a Portuguese colony, which lasted until 1961.

One of the best beaches in Goa is called Palolem Beach if you’re looking for a peaceful escape. It is known for its pleasant environment, clean sand, and proximity to nature.

Also located in Goa is another natural wonder called Dudhsagar Falls. This massive, four-tiered waterfall is located on the Mandovi River in the interior of Goa. It is known as the “milky falls” due to the way the 600 m cascade takes on the appearance of milk during its fall.

Visitors to Goa can also explore the Portuguese colonial heritage of the state. This is evident when visiting the 16th century Basilica de Bom Jesus, a stunning Baroque cathedral located in Old Goa.

Finally, don’t forget to try Goan cuisine if your travels take you there. One of the standouts of the cuisine is the mixture of seafood and curry, which is exemplified in the fish curry dish that is made with coconut milk. Yum!
