Goa - place of beaches, My fav spot in India, Most you might have already been there and know almost everything about Goa but this can be Usefull for someone who has not yet been to this place, its paradise for all beach lovers.
Its the 25th State in India, Panjim being its capital. Earlier portuguese did settled over here in Goa so you could still see the construction and work done by portuguese over here, the Portuguese culture. it attracts many tourists every year, and the new celebrations are just too good over here by the beach. It has Basilica Of Bom Jesus, it has the Mortal remains of St. Francis Xavier. Goa is situated along the Konkan belt with Maharashtra, it shares Border with Maharashtra 7 karnataka.
Vasco
Da Gama was the first to European to find india through see route, there is Place in goa by his name and its known as vasco. Goa has transport access by all means from Airlines, to Trains and by road as well. But once you rach in goa the best way to move around and see the beauty of goa is by moving on Motor-Bike, this is the best way to move around in Goa.
The Culture in Goa is diversed as people from different caste resides over here, but the most popular are Goa carnival, Christmas, Diwali, ganesh Chaturthi, New Year day, Easter 7 so on.
Food is delicious over here you will get any food over here, because there are hotels which makes World food as this place is visted by most people around the world, so you wont miss your home food. But the local food is Rice & Fish curry 7 in most curry's you will find Cocunut for sure, then you will find different spices, so all you people who enjoy spicy food this place wont let you down. Drinks are no problem at all you will get every drinks over here, but the local drink over here is Feni which is made from Cashewnuts. So if want to try something different then do try it, Goan feni is quite Famous.
Hotels - There are good hotels to stay in goa to name a few which i know are Taj Exotica Goa Marriot Goa Resort The Leela Goa Oceanic Hotel and so on, there are other cheaper hotels as well. But the most cheapest place to stay are the rooms offered by the locals out there, they let the rooms in thier houses which compared to Hotels is much Cheaper if you planning to go on a long visit.

i Have been to Goa many times, but still love to go there because this place is lively. During My Engg Days that was for 3 years i was studying in Kolhapur which is 3 Hours away from Goa, me and my friends would live for gos any time on our bike nad the whole journey use to be so fun, i miss those days when we all use to go to goa.
