• Where and why?

India's smallest state somewhat larger than
Devon is tucked into the south-west shore of
the sub-continent. Even though small, the state
is among India's richest, mainly thanks to
tourism. The big attraction is more than 80 miles
of shoreline, and India's most sophisticated
mass-market visitor industry Indian society is
given a Goa a twist, and strange foreign
practices are tolerated more eagerly in Goa than
in the rest of India.

• Where do I start?

To start to make intellect of Goa, you be
supposed to begin in the state capital, Panaji.
(Like most places in Goa, the "Indianised" name
has taken preference over the Portuguese
rendition, Panjim.) Beside the broad, sluggish
Mandovi River, all the paraphernalia of a
Portuguese city has been recognized and much of
it has endured.

• The best beaches?

Goa's charm lies chiefly in the wealth of
gorgeous beaches lining the shores, each with its
own appeal. Calangute and Baga, for instance, are
prime destinations for tour operators. Anjuna
beach, the unique hippy hangout, has changed
considerably since its original days but retains
a stroke of the unconventional. Head north and
you'll find serenity again on the beaches of
Mandrem, Asvem and Arambol broad sweeps of fawn
sand, backed by thickets of palm trees and
casuarina pines. Likewise unspoilt is Palolem,
one of the state's mainly southerly beaches.

• When to go

The most excellent time to visit Goa is after the
monsoon, which lasts from June until late
September. Even throughout the cool season
temperatures can peak at 31C and drop down to
around 23C. The hottest months to trip are
typically April and May when temperatures can
reach 33C, but it is in addition very humid
during this time.
