MORE ABOUT Goa's Geography and Tourism and Places to watch please go through the article below.
Goa is a strip of land 110 kilometres long and 60 km wide, between the Sahyadri range of the Western Ghats and the Arabian sea on the west coast of India. The coastline is indented by numerous deep, sheltered river estuaries which account for the importance of Goa’s harbours on ancient trade routes. The climate is tropical with a June to September monsoon, when rainfall is approximately 400 cms. For the rest of the year humidity is surprisingly low and average daily temperature is 27°C (85°F). The coolest months are November to February when night temperat-ures can fall to 20°C (70°F) and a pull-over may be worn.
EATING & DRINKING:
Until recently a visit to Goa or India wasn’t complete without a bout of ‘Delhi Belly’. Today sickness is almost unheard of and most are pleasantly surprised by the high level of hygiene in Goa’s restaurants. Across the state there is a huge profusion of restaurants with every kind of food from Goan and indian specialities to western and far eastern cuisine.
By far the most popular are Goa’s own seafood dishes. From prawns to kingfish, lobster and squid - its all available and very fresh. Other popular local food is vegetarian Thalli, Balchao (fish in spicy, red sauce), Xacati (meat or chicken cooked with coconut), Vindaloo (spicy curry), Sorpatel (spicy pork soup), Reichado (fish stuffed with spicy sauce), Fish Curry (the national dish?) and Bebinca (sweet cake made from coconut pancakes).
With Goa’s increasing popularity restauranteurs from other states are moving in and there are Punjabi, Kashmiri and Marathi restaurants, along with Tibetan, Nepali and Chinese. Furthermore there are indian-style western restaurants offering pizzas and burgers. Increasingly there are bakeries with French, German and Danish specialities.
Tiracol (Terekhol): Here the main attraction is the fort, recently renovated and turned into a luxury hotel. Built by the Rajahs of Sawantwadi, it was captured by the Portugese in 1746 and they added the church of St. Anthony within the walls. A path behind the fort leads to the Goldsmith caves. The only other hotels are The Hillrock (as you enter the village) and 2 dark rooms at Agnelo’s bar.There is no real beach, most visitors preferring to take the ferry to Querim (Keri) Beach on the other side of the river. There are virtually no facilities here apart from a few drink stalls around the ferry-head. The Beach is long, wide and palm-fringed and extends a short distance down the estuary. ARAMBOL(Harmal): Though this is the most popular beach in the area, development has been limited to a large variety of restaurants, and there are no major hotels. Accommodation is entirely in local rooms or in rooms attached to bars. The sweet-water lake (at KALACHABeach-a short walk over the rocks to the north) is fairly secluded and popular for that ‘all-over tan’. Every few days the police turn up and some on-the-spot fines may be imposed. Twenty minutes upstream from the lake is a huge Banyan tree and a small temple.Dunas (Junas) Beach, immediately south, has no facilities though there is a new fort-like building on the beach, the purpose of which is unknown. Further on, beyond a small river, isMandrem Beach the centre of which is AsvemBeach with some rooms and restaurants. On the main road there is the quiet Chiron Hotel. The beach ends at Morjim at the mouth of the Chapora River, where the sand is slightly blackened and the palms are set back by the road. At the end of the road are 3 restaurants one of which, The Oliver Ridley, is owned by Belgians. Between Morjim and the Chopdem Ferry is Turtle beach, once a popular beach but now a turtle sanctuary and hatchery.
CHAPORA, the fishing village on the other side of the river, is reached by ferry and bus from Siolim. Though the village is small, with a few quiet hotels, it is an important restaurant and shopping venue for those living around the beaches ofVAGATOR. Beyond the town there is a small harbour and beach lined with boats. Above the town are the formidable walls of the Chapora Fort, easily accessible on foot, though the last 200m are a steep climb. The remains are of a portugese fort built in 1717 on the ruins of a muslim one. Below to the southwest is BIG VAGATORBeach which has most facilities and is backed up by the Sterling Beach Resort. Apart from this, the St. Martin’s Guest House and numerous hotels on the Mapusa road, almost all visitors stay in local houses or purpose-built cottages. Across the rocks to the south is the tiny MIDDLE VAGATOR (aka Tel Aviv Beach) and further stillLITTLE VAGATOR Beach with its famous ‘Shiva carving’ (see picture above). Both beaches are backed by small cliffs and palms. Though there are numerous beach shacks, most of the permanent restaurants and hotels are in the roads behind. VAGATOR and ANJUNA are the main areas for night parties in Goa, the most popular spots being ‘Disco Valley’ behind Middle Vagator and the banyan trees above Little Vagator. For information on parties and venues, go to the Nine Bar or Primrose Bar/Restaurant (near Vagator) or the Shore Bar or Munchies Restaurant (Anjuna) any evening in the season.
ANJUNA BEACH: is approximately 20 mins walk over the rocks from Little Vagator (and 3 km by road). There is plenty of ‘instant accommodation’ in the roads of Di Mello and St. Anthony's Vaddos in North Anjuna, though most stay long term in local houses. Anjuna has the largest expatriate community in Goa, most of whom live in the roads of St Anthony’s Vaddo or around Dando Vaddo in S. Anjuna. The 2 beaches of Anjuna are narrow and backed by rocks and small cliffs. The first,NORTH ANJUNA, is more developed with the road reaching almost to the beach. The other, SOUTH ANJUNA, has numerous restaurants and is the venue for theWednesday Flea-Market. Inland there are many other facilities including banks, money-changers, shops, Post Office and The German Bakery. Techno Parties are a major part of life in Anjuna and the Primrose in S. Chapora, Munchies in North Anjuna and The Nine Bar at Little Vagator are the main source of information. Sometimes parties are followed by a ‘chill out’ party in Grandpa’s Inn (Bouganvillea), one kilometre east of Anjuna.
BAGA village is a 30 minute walk (via a tiny, un-named beach with sharp sand) over the rocks from S. Anjuna and almost 5km by road. The north side of the river has a few cafés and numerous houses with accommodation. Across the concrete bridge isBAGA BEACH which, along with Calangute, was one of the first places to be colonized by hippies in the sixties. As a result these areas have suffered the most development, and the hippies have retreated to Anjuna, Arambol and Palolem.The beach itself stretches almost uninterrupted for 9 kms to the Aguada Fort. Though Baga has hotels, cottages and restaurants of all kinds it is fairly quiet in the evening, with the exception of the area around Tito’s Restaurant. CALANGUTE on the other hand is always buzzing and full of western package tourists and visitors from other parts of India. The town itself (approx 1km from the beach) is centred on the temple and bus stand. At the roundabout there is a tourist information office and a craft market.
CANDOLIM Beach, 2 km south, is gradually developing into an extension of Calangute, with numerous hotels, resorts and restaurants. On the main road on the north side of Candolim is Bob’s Inn, still a favourite with travellers. The beach stretches for a further 2km and is known as SINQUERIM. At its end is a large headland with the Aguada Fort and Lighthouse. Below the Fort is the 5 star Taj Village resort and, within its walls, the equally luxurious Aguada Hermitage. As a result this area is pretty expensive and has few alternatives for accommodation. Still expensive, but at a fraction of the cost, is the beautiful Marbella Hotel hidden behind the village. The lighthouse is approached by a 5km road around the headland. On the south side is the Gaol and the palace of a reclusive millionaire. Two kilometres to the east of Candolim is the relatively quiet COCO Beach at the mouth of the Nerul River on the Mandovi Estuary, directly opposite Panaji. The 10 or so restaurants are popular in the afternoon, but quiet at night. Further down the estuary there the two small beaches of Quedevelim and the Reis Magos Church and Fort (this impressive Portugese Fort was a prison for some years and is no longer open to the public).
MIRAMAR is the main beach of Panaji, the state capital. The focal point is a large roundabout, 3 km from the city centre. Here there are many hotels, a restaurant complex, tennis courts, a public toilet and a childrens amusement park. The beach itself is very wide and backed by palms and fir trees. Its main attraction is as a weekend beach for local residents. Just north is CAMPAL Beach which is a communal toilet and parking for some small fishing boats. The nearby Campal Gardens are well laid out with a fish-shaped pond and childrens’ castle. South of Miramar the beach is known as Caranzalem which is starting to develop with a new extension to the beach-side road. Beyond is a headland kown as Cabo Raj Bhavin which is the dwelling place of the Governor.
Dona Paula Beach, 5km from Panaji, is on the other side of the hill. At the end of the beach is a long pier with a tacky market at one end and a musical toilet surmounted on a rocky outrop at the other (just below is the ferry to Mormugao). Nearby is the Dona Paula Beach Resort, the Prainha Hotel and a boating club. Vainguinim beach, approximately 3 km east and just below the Goa University, is accessible by a small path beside the Cidade de Goa Resort, which takes up most of the beach. On the east side of the University is Bambolim beach and the Bambolim Beach resort, which has been built right on the water. Though narrow, the beach is about 3km long and the palms creep up almost to the waters edge. Further along is the very narrow Siridaobeach and fishing village, which has a few local bars and restaurants.
Vasco Da Gama has 2 beaches within the city limits. The first, KHAREVADDO, is a fishing village (as your nose will tell you) though there is a stretch of sand on the east side leading to the town cemetery. On the west side of the city is BAINA Beach which, as a result of its proximity to the port of Mormugao, is always full of sailors and prostitutes. On the south side of the port is Sada Beach which is a local picnic spot. Further east, and immediately south of Dabolim Airport, is BOGMALO Beach. The Oberoi, now re-named ‘The Bogmalo Beach Resort’ overlooks the left side of this little bay and around the bus stop and village are numerous guest houses and restaurants. The beach is only about 400 metres long but is quite picturesque, nonetheless. About 3km down the coast is another small bay known as Hollant Beach which is very popular as a picnic area for locals and Indian tourists. Though its beach is stony, it's sandy just off shore.
COLVA: A little further and the coast turns southward. This is the start of one of the world’s longest uninterrupted beaches. Though each town and village along it gives it a different name, the whole 23 km are known as COLVA BEACH. For the most part it is about 100m wide and backed by palms. Though many of its beaches are empty, save for a few shacks, others have new luxury resorts built as close to the beach as the law will allow. As always there are plenty of local people who are happy to open their houses in areas with less obvious instant accommodation. Velsao, Cansaulimand Arrosim Beaches have very limited facilities, with accommodation only in local houses. UTORDA Beach has the luxury Regency Resort but little else.
MAJORDA Beach, 1km south, has a resort of the same name. Away from the beach are 3 more hotels, plenty of rooms in local houses (esp. Gonsua Vaddo) and a number of good quality restaurants. The bank in the town (2km) only changes T/Cheques. 2km further brings you to the Nanu Resort and Betalbatim Beach. In the village there are a few rooms and a low price restaurant called Martin’s Corner. A 1km track beside the Nanu Resort brings you to COLVA village and beach. This is by far the most developed beach in the area, and is a magnet for Indian tourists and westerners. Whilst the village is centred on the church and Post Office, 1km inland, most of the activity is at the beach. Most accommodation is either around the parking area or on the road that runs parallel to the beach in the direction of Betalbatim. There are resorts, hotels and cottages, as well as rooms in local houses. At the car park and bus stop (taxi rank), there are numerous restaurants and a tourist office. The next beach isZernabatim which is 1km by beach or 2km by road. Zernabatim has a small resort, Camilson’s, and 2 retaurants with accommodation.
BENAULIM beach, 1.5 km south, is a popular, quiet alternative to Colva. Whilst there is some accommodation around the end of the road, most is in the village, approx. 1km inland. On the south side is the beautiful Lotus Lake, famous in Indian mythology as the place where Goa was formed from an arrow shot by Parashurama, an incarnation of Vishnu. A further 800m down the beach is Wadi Beach, marked by one restaurant and a fishermans co-op. 5 mins. inland is the Francon G.House and in the village is the Karina Resort and 5 other guest houses. The next 2 beaches, Vel Vaddo and Pedde have virtually no beach facilities, and only a few rooms inland.Fatrade (part of Varca Beach) has the Resort de Goa and a few shacks. Inland, in the twin-towns of Fatrade and Varca, there is plenty of accommodation in local rooms (ask at the Pinto bar). At Varca Beach (700m) is the Goa Renaissance Resort. 1km further takes you to Cavelossim Beach and the Jose Menino’s apartment complex. The centre of the beach is 2.5km and marked by the Dona Sylvia Resort and the Gato Loco beach disco. On the main road are the Old Anchor and Gaffino’s Resorts. East from the village is the Tibet Road and the Sal River Ferry. South along the beach isMobor, the Holiday Inn and the Leela Beach Resort. The beach continues for 2 km to the Sal River estuary and is kown as Mobor on the sea side and as Betul Beach on the river side. The village of Betul is on the other side of the fast-flowing Sal River, and the only way across is via the Tibet/Assolna ferry. In this busy fishing village there are 4 hotels and a few restaurants. A bizarre sight is local people catching oysters with their toes in the middle of the river. Immediately south are the beaches ofRangally and Tarie which which are respectively sandy and stony. Two kilometres further, just after the Goa Gas Dept., is Zorint Beach which is almost deserted due to its inaccessibility - of course a few brave souls go there for that very reason. Access is via a small valley (from a fresh water stream) on the south side of a stony plateau. From here the road passes over some low hills on the way to Canaguinim which has a small sand and stone beach surrounded by a low wall. At the end there are rocks and a river inlet. In the village above are a few rooms. One kilometre further is a lane down to the tiny Nuvem (Nuem) Beach which is covered in black and red stones. From here the road goes inland over some picturesque hills. After three kilometres, a sharp turn to the right takes you to the sea and the ruins of the Cabo da Rama Fort of which only the chapel remains intact. The fort affords some fine views of the coast. Approximately eight kilometres from Canaguinim are Little Cola and Big Colabeaches (known to some as Pepsi and Coca Cola). Both beaches are about 500 metres long and fringed by palms but with no facilities whatsoever. The next developed beach is Agonda, about 4km further down the road. The village is right on the beach (about 1km from the road) which is wide and palm-fringed and dominated by St. Annes church and school. Eight hundred metres south are 2 restaurants with rooms.
PALOLEM, the next beach on the road to Chaudi, is fast becoming the alternative to Arambol. On the road to the beach are a number of cottages and restaurants and the Palolem Beach Camping Resort. There are also numerous shacks along this beautiful beach, bounded by rocks on the south side and by a river and the Canacona Island causeway on the north side. Further beaches to the north (e.g. Butterfly beach) can only be reached by boat and, though often quite beautiful can be inhospitable due to the lack of shade. South, over the rocks, are 3 bays which make up the idyllicCOLOMB Beach with just a few bars. Almost hidden between the two beaches is the Bhakti Kutir health resort, on the small cliffs at the end of Palolem Beach. This is an ecological resort with wooden and stone houses built using local materials by Goan and Nepalese craftsmen. There are various therapies and massages available alongside one of the area's best vegetarian restaurants. One kilometre further isPatnem Beach which has restaurants but no hotels as yet, and then Rajbag Beach, which is completely empty save for a small temple beside the road (there appears to be plans for a large resort at the north end of the beach). On the other side of the road, before the beach, is the Molyma Hotel. From Rajbag there is a small passenger ferry across the Talpona river to the fishing village of the same name. Beyond it is TalponaBeach which has few palms and some small dunes. After an outcrop of rocks is the last major beach of Goa, Galgibaga, which is long wide and fringed with palms and eucalyptus. At the south end is a small ferry and the Sea King bar which can arrange food and accommodation. On the other side of the river, just after the town of Mashen, there is a new beach development which will take-in the entire beach known as Xendrem, which, until now, was completely undeveloped. On the border of Goa and Karnataka States is Polem Beach which is apparently small and falls steeply into the sea.
PLACES OF INTEREST:
Beyond the beaches of Goa are a wealth of interesting sights, both man-made and natural. Most places, with the exception of the Dudhsaghar Waterfalls, are within easy reach of the coast and on main transport routes.
The Goa Tourism Department has a number of conducted sigtseeing tours and river cruises that cover almost the whole of the state. There is a free booklet (The Goa Tourist Directory) with up to date information on all these tours which is available from all tourist offices. There are tourist Information Centres in the following towns: Panaji, Margao, Vasco da Gama and Dabolim (Airport). Furthermore there are local voluntary offices in Calangute, Candolim and Colva. TEMPLES & MOSQUES:
During the early years of the Portugese occupation of Goa, a policy of compulsory conversion to catholicism was followed and most of the temples and mosques were destroyed. Certain areas, such as Ponda Taluka, which didnt come under Portugese control until much later, were spared and many of their old temples are still standing. The following are a few of the more important temples of Goa:
The Shri Mangeshi Temple: situated near Mardol on the road from Panaji to Ponda. This is probably the best known temple in the state, and is included in all the major tours (see picture on left).
About 1km south is the Shri Mahalsa Temple and further south near Velinga, The Shri Laxmi Temple. To the west of Ponda , near the villages of Bandora and Queula are the temples of Shri Nagesh, Shri Ramnath, Shri Mahalaxmi and Shri Shantadurga. 10km north of Ponda at Savoi-Verem, not far from the Mandovi, is the Anant Devasthan Temple. A further 8km leads to The Ganesh Temple, near Candola. East of Ponda, on the main road to Bangalore, is The Kudamba Temple.
Just outside Ponda, on the north east side is The Safa Shahouri Mosque. Today there are only two remaining ancient mosques in Goa. The other is the recently renovated Namazgah Mosquenear Bicholim. CHURCHES:
Though every town in Goa has a church and numerous chapels, a few older examples stand out and are worthy of mention (and a visit). By far the largest concentration of superbly preserved, beautiful, old churches is to be found inOld Goa (see map). The following are also of some importance architecturally and historically:
Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception (1619): This Renaissance style building, featured above, is probably the best known landmark in the capital (see Panaji map).
Our Lady Mother of God (1873): This Neo-Gothic style church is at Saligao (only 4km from Calangute).
Our Lady of Miracles (1674): situated approximately 2km east of Mapusa.
Church of the Holy Spirit (1675): see Margao map.
Saint Andrews Church: see Vasco da Gama map.
Pilar Seminary (1613): situated close to Goa Velha, 9km south east of Panaji.
Rachol Seminary(1580): situated above the Zuari River, 6km from Margao.
FORTS:
Besides the coastal forts of Tiracol, Chapora, Aguada, Mormugao, Reis Magosand Cabo de Rama there are also three others inland: the Alorna Fort (on the Chapora River near the border with Maharashtra), the Corjuem Fort (on the east side of Bardez Taluka ) and the Nanus Fort (near Valpoi in Satari Taluka ).
MUSEUMS:
The State Museum of Goa (see Panaji map). The Archaeological Museum (see Old Goa map).
WILDLIFE SANTUARIES:
The Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary is located at the western tip of Chorao Island in the Mandovi estuary close to Panaji. Easiest access is via the ferry from Ribandar, 5km east of Panaji on the road to Old Goa.
The Bondla Sanctuary, though small, is apparently the best for seeing all sorts of wildlife. It is situated near the village of Tisk on the road from Ponda to Bangalore.
The Baghwan Mahaveer Sanctuary is on the same road but closer to the town of Molem. Nearby are the Tamdi Surla Temple and the Dudhsagar Waterfalls.
The Cotigao Sanctuary is in the far south of the state in Canacona Taluka, not far from National Highway 17.
