Goa pronunciation (Konkani: गोंय /ɡɔ̃j/) is India’s smallest state in terms of area and the fourth smallest in terms of population. Located on the west coast of India in the region known as the Konkan, it is bounded by the state of Maharashtra to the north, and by Karnataka to the east and south, while the Arabian Sea forms its western coast.
Panaji (also referred to as Panjim) is the state’s capital. Vasco da Gama (sometimes shortened to Vasco) is the largest city. The historic city of Margao still exhibits the influence of Portuguese culture. Portuguese first landed in Goa as merchants, in the early 16th century, and conquered it soon after. The Portuguese overseas territory existed for about 450 years, until it was annexed by India in 1961.
Renowned for its beaches, places of worship and world heritage architecture, Goa is visited by hundreds of thousands of international and domestic tourists each year. It also has rich flora and fauna, owing to its location on the Western Ghats range, which is classified as a biodiversity hotspot.
History
Goa’s known history stretches back to the 3rd century BC, when it formed part of the Mauryan Empire. It was later ruled by the Satavahanas of Kolhapur, around 2000 years ago it was passed on to the Chalukya Dynasty, who controlled it between 580 to 750. Over the next few centuries Goa was successively ruled by the Silharas, the Kadambas and the Chalukyas of Kalyani, rulers of Deccan India.
In 1312, Goa came under the governance of the Delhi Sultanate. However, the kingdom’s grip on the region was weak, and by 1370 they were forced to surrender it to Harihara I of the Vijayanagara empire. The Vijayanagara monarchs held on to the territory until 1469, when it was appropriated by the Bahmani sultans of Gulbarga. After that dynasty crumbled, the area fell to the hands of the Adil Shahis of Bijapur who established as their auxiliary capital the city known under the Portuguese as Velha Goa.
In 1510, the Portuguese defeated the ruling Bijapur kings with the help of a local ally, Timayya, leading to the establishment of a permanent settlement in Velha Goa (or Old Goa).
The Portuguese encouraged the spread of Christianity , often with repressive measures leading to a significant population converting to Christianity. The repeated wars of the Portuguese with the Marathas and the Deccan sultanate, along with their repressive releigious policies led to large migrations of Goans to neighbouring areas.
In 1843 the capital was moved to Panjim from Velha Goa. By mid-18th century the area under occupation had expanded to most of Goa’s present day state limits. Simultaneously the Portuguese lost other possesions in India until their borders stabilised and formed the Estado da India Portuguesa, of which Goa was the largest territory.
After India gained independence from the British in 1947, Portugal refused to negotiate with India on the transfer of sovereignity of their Indian enclaves. On 12 December 1961, the Indian army commenced with Operation Vijay resulting in the annexation of Goa, Damman and Diu into the Indian union. Goa, along with Daman and Diu was made into a centrally administered Union Territory of India. On 30 May 1987, the Union Territory was split, and Goa was elevated as India’s twenty-fifth state, with Daman and Diu remaining Union Territories.
Climate
Goa encompasses an area of 3,702 km² (1,430 sq mile). It lies between the latitudes 14°53’54” N and 15°40’00” N and longitudes 73°40’33” E and 74°20’13” E. Most of Goa is a part of the coastal country known as the Konkan, which is an escarpment rising up to the Western Ghats range of mountains, which separate it from the Deccan Plateau. The highest point is the Sonsogor, with an altitude of 1,167 meters (3,827 feet). Goa has a coastline of 101 km (63 miles).
Goa’s main rivers are the Mandovi, the Zuari, the Terekhol, Chapora River and the Sal. The Mormugao harbor on the mouth of the river Zuari is one of the best natural harbors in South Asia. The Zuari and the Mandovi are the lifelines of Goa, with their tributaries draining 69% of its geographic area. Goa has more than forty estuarine, eight marine and about ninety riverine islands. The total navigable length of Goa’s rivers is 253 km (157 miles). Goa has more than three hundred ancient tanks built during the rule of the Kadamba dynasty and over a hundred medicinal springs.
Get in
Goa can be reached by its lone airport (Dabolim), by train, and by the many buses connecting the state with cities in India (primarily Mumbai and Bangalore). If you are travelling from Mumbai or Pune, car travel would provide you a journey through he breathtaking scenery of Konkan area.
By bus : There are several bus routes from various cities, but most traffic is from mainly Bombay and Pune, but with increasing demand from the south, there has been an increase in buses and trains from Bangalore and New Delhi. Overnight buses from Mumbai to Goa are one alternative to trains and flying. Note that while many of the coaches are newer Volvo models, you will share your sleeper bunk with one other person. (2 Person bunk)
By train : Indian Railways connects Goa with direct train services from Delhi, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Mangalore, Kochi, Kolkata, Thiruvanantapuram, Bangalore, Chennai and Hyderabad. The destination station is usually Madgaon in South Goa. Travelling to Goa by train is a real pleasure as the route passes through greenery and many tunnels.
A railway station which most tourists tend to miss is Thivim, which is served by most trains and is just 20 minutes away from Calangute beach by taxi.
For budget travellers, this is the cheapest option, apart from being faster and much more comfortable than travelling by road. It is advisable for tourists to make reservations well in advance as the major trains (Konkan Kanya, Nethravati express etc.) are usually heavily booked. Also note that trains from Mumbai and most other places have a quota of seats set aside for tourists.
By air : Goa has one airport at Dabolim in Vasco, that was actually owned by the Indian Navy. Wide bodied aircrafts are unable to land here. Presently the airport is heavily used due to the influx of tourists.
Some airlines fly directly to Goa, but most international flights arrive via Mumbai.
Goa has daily flights to and from Bangalore, Delhi, Mumbai and Pune (no flights return to Pune) and has flights twice a week to Chennai. Recently, daily flights to Jaipur and Ahmedabad, as well as to Mangalore, Kozhikode (Calicut) and Kochi (Cochin) have also been added.
By ferry : The once-popular steamer service that connected Goa with Bombay via a 22-hour inexpensive journey no longer plies. There are occasional cruise services between the two.

Beaches
Goa is world famous for its beaches, its ancient temples and churches, and its Goan carnival.
If naval aviation interests you, you might want to stop by the Naval Air Museum. This is behind the Dabolim Airport, and you will need to loop around the airport perimeter across the Dabolim Railway station to get there. There are seven outdoor exhibits and other memorabilia and models in a two story building.
- Anjuna Beach – Close to the Chapora Fort, its key attraction is a magnificent Albuquerque Mansion built in 1920, flanked by octagonal towers and an attractive Mangalore tile-roof. Anjuna was the second-home (and main location) of the hippies in Goa, in the 1960s and 1970s, after other destinations like Calangute got more “crowded” for them. It is still venue of a (vastly-changed, more mainstreamised) flea market held each Wednesday. In the nearby village of Arpora, two colourful Saturday night bazaars are held in the non-monsoon seasons. This is still part of “alternative” Goa, though charter and other tourists also visit the place in increasing numbers to “get a feel of the hippy years”.
- Palolem Beach A scenic beach in extreme south Goa. Getting a bit crowded. Good eating options. Turning pricey though (by local standards). The rocks and islands off its schore are definitely scenic.
- Patnem Beach – a small and quiet beach in Canacona taluka
- Vagator Beach – a beach in Bardez, neighbouring Anjuna
- Morjim and Asvem – two quieter beaches in extreme north Goa’s Pernem taluka
- Mandrem Beach – another beach in extreme north Goa’s Pernem taluka
- Candolim and Sinquerim Beaches in North Goa’s Bardez taluka. Once humble fishing villages. Now the crowded concretised coast of North Goa. Goa’s Benidorm. Or quickly getting to be as crowded.
- Colva Beach – This beach’s spectacle of sea, sand and sky blend in a enchanting natural harmony, weaving their magic spell on the visitors. Known for its scenic beauty. This is part of Salcete, Goa’s only Catholic majority sub-district. Once a very hospitable area, now relations are getting monetized thanks to tourism.
- Calangute Beach – aka Queen of all Beaches in Goa. Once highly rated. Now crowded. Expect traffic jams along the main crowded street.
- Baga Beach A family-beach and charter tourist destination just outside Calangute.
- Chapora Home of the Chapora fort. Close to Vagator and Anjuna beaches. Also site for a fishing jetty where trawlers (introduced into Goa in the 1960s and 1970s, amidst protests from traditional fishermen, who were affected by them) bring in their catch.
Do
Since Goa has a large Catholic minority, it has many Catholic holidays besides the Indian national holidays. One of them, the Carnival though often mistaken for a ‘Catholic holiday’ is largely a Government sponsored affair of Floats and festivities.
There is a lot to do – for those who like their fun a little laid back
- Relax at the beaches. Goa has an almost unbroken 70 km coastline of beaches
- Be sure to take precautions if you go swimming.
- Visit the venerable cathedrals of a bygone era at Old Goa, which are still in remarkable good condition where the sacred remains (once considered the incorrupted body) of St. Francis Xavier is.
- Enjoy the cuisine at a range of restaurants that cater to just about every palate. Goa is an amazing place to try out food from across India and the rest of the globe.
- Check out the several discos and pubs that have sprung up around Goa.
- Goa is more than just a set of scenic beaches. It has long been a meeting place of cultures, and played a role in global history in the past centuries. Check out local resources, meet interesting people, visit unusual institutions — you could find more than you expect here.
- Check out on Goa’s Natural Wonders.
- Information is hard to come by in these areas of Goa. Ask villagers for one or two villages down the line, as some tend to get confused by questions about longer distances. People are generally very helpful if approached politely and with a smile. More polite, naturally, than in the more touristy parts of Goa. Banks and the bus-stops are the few places that mention location names. They are good guides to get a sense of bearing, in a place where there are few sign-boards.
- Be kind to the local people. Most villages are tightly-knit communities, where everyone knows everyone else. The presence of a strange in places outside of bigger beach areas (like Palolem) becomes immediately obvious to villagers. Treat the areas with respect; and make your intrusion less interfering. Villagers are quick to help out, and reciprocate a smile. But ‘outside’ origins are quickly obvious — even a Konkani speaker from another part of Goa would get immediately ‘betrayed’ by his accent!
- Take care of confusing (and newly-changed) names. Locals are unsure about the names of some beaches. Where exactly is Tari? Or, has that name become redundant after the canoe connecting the two points fell into disuse (‘tari’ is Konkani for canoe-point) now that there’s a bridge there?
- To add to the confusion, some beach names have been arbitrarily set up by foreign visitors. ‘Butterfly’ is supposedly an island between Palolem and Agonda, which few locals would know by that name. Some guides refer to Khola (written as ‘Cola’ by the Portuguese) as Pepsi Cola and Coca Cola!
- Be kind to the environment. Goa has long been an eco-friendly, waste-free society, though the waterguzzling tourism mega-projects and the large scale plastic influx has changed all that. On the roadsides, you can see coconut shells drying. The coconut tree, which predominates South Goa (the favorite drink is coconut feni, not cashew feni as in North Goa) is very much used in the kitchen to home-building and many other purposes.
Diving
The dive season is between mid October to mid May. Diving is not possible during the monsoons in India ( June till mid October ) The water temperature is between 27 to 30 degrees. The local diving here consists of dives sites around Grande Island, just off the coast near Vasco Da Gama. The dive sites are mostly 12 to 16m deep, and the visibility varies through the season, with an average of around 5-6 m. Marine life is abundant, with many species of reef fish, and hard and soft coral,and several shipwrecks to dive.
If you want to dive Goa, there are several dive centers operating, and they offer local dives,conduct PADI courses, and organize dive trips to Pigeon Island (also known locally as Netrani Island) in the neighboring state of Karnataka.

Hi Priya
Fantastic Stuff.!
I visit GOA once in 12-15 months… for past 05-06 years and have been there almost 6-7 times and every time i go, i witness a new aspect of Goa.. from its beaches to naive greenery to ecstatic nature and a sense of fullfillness… Its just too good to be true that life like this exists and i can assure all of you its much better than the urban life that we live… Life in goa is so simple, so down to earth yet so fullfilling and so contentfull.
I guess if PRIYA continues this forum; we could end-up with atleast 100 of such pages covering the diversity of GOA.
Thanks for a mesmorizing recaptulization of my memories.
Regards
Jayesh

I was glad to read the comments made by visitors about Goa. I was born and bred in Goa. I have seen the world, but came to appreciate Goa even better. Goa is beautiful. It is according to several tourists, “the heaven on earth”, especially in India. I find that now Goa is overcrowded. It needs more planning. I see that in Calangute and other touristic sites. We need also good politicians. People who come to Goa will help us to realise that a lot of evils are creeping in, we have to be alert. Goa is very, very beautiful, provided that we respect the eco-system. Goa has a history. I am writing a book on Calangute village. How it is changed, for better or worse! A lot of cooperation is needed to keep Goa clean and tidy, physically and morally!
May better sense prevail!
good article, i will add my feeds.
hello, on your web page about Goa, you have a picture of a carving on the beach. Can you tell me exactly where that is? I plan on visiting the town later this year and want to see this site. thanks much, Kim
Goa is a Very most Beautiful Place In INDIA
It is really, really wonderful. How nature can be such bountious and perhaps that is the reason the State is called wonderland. I see that in Calangute,Anjuna, Baga and other touristic sites. I like Goa.
Hi!Everyone.
THANKS FOR TAKING US TO GOA. REALLY VERY NICE TO SEE.
I m from goa.those who want to visit goa come to me I will show u ……its amazing……………

First time I will visit GOA coming May 2011 and attend the Speak Asia world trade Fair.
paradise in goa……
This blog looks to incorporate all the right features needed for this type of site. So, keep up the good work.
I really loved the way things are portrayed in this blog. Very recommendable job.
Like every story of developing resorts,I appreciate being able to see the latest pic. Not much has changed in terms of Old church and temples.(Bon Jesus and the Panjim Church)To he ‘keepers’ of Goa young and old and MLA ‘Pandits’
I prey god give you the vision not to let this beautiful State slip any more
to distruction in the name of modernization.Since my college days in the 69 to 72, goa has changed and personally i think any more growth should stop.
since my last six visits to goa & near by i always found some thing specially new .i will call every one to once in ur life must comeall alone with ur family ofcourse.
I love Goa soooooooooo………….much.
Nice to visit place on earth
Goa is a very beautiful place when i was 13 or 14 years an old at that time i had gone with my father in Goa on the time of Portuguese , i had seen the city of Margau, Panjim, Mapsa,Assonora and so many beautiful places, really Goa is a very very beautiful place, Now to much change, but early Goa i cant forget it thank you Priya for remembering Goa,,,,

I had been to Goa couple of years back. I enjoyed Casino ship most. Like Goa there r many places in India with fabulous beaches. But The casino & the church buildings r great. One this I miss most there is no night life there! so, visitors get bored. There should be some good night clubs…..
Goa is Raped by the dirty politicians
Some major areas are missing in picture list., Please collect
in future one time we visit there beutiful place amazing thanks………
i was lucky to visit GOA a few occations. the goa shown in pictures are good. but the Much of goa is in its forestes and the beautiful people
I visited GOA for the first time in 1969. I felt I was in a foreign country. Vasco everywhere it was a sight to behold.There were ships and great activity. That was when I was 26 years Old. I visited Goa after say 20 years. I was aghast. It was totally destoyed. I went to see Vasco alongwith my children to give a little I cherished. GOA was so much changed. I felt the industrialisation and using the port as a outlet for exporting iron ore, my God, it has totally killed that port. Money is not everything. If we cannot preserve, we do not deserve. What is there is life, money is not everything. We do not deserve GOA, I never pardon myself, such a beautiful place thouroughly raped and mangled. It is like throwing away the rich culture. It pains me the way we are commercialising everything.
so cool place………….
I have been staying in Goa for last 1yr, friends when ever u get oppurtunity visit Goa. In the month of Dec and Jan Goa is awesome.
I like all the places in goa naturally its wonderful

Very beautiful place…..Why not call it God’s creation at leisure. ?
I grabbed every opportunity to visit Goa… 5 times during last 40 years. Every time there was something new in spite of the same churches, the same temples, the same sea shores… Every visit the feelings are different. That’s why I persist visiting Goa again and again… I am so eager once again to visit this paradise in September this year and enjoy the receding monsoon.
Truly heavan…I really liked th pic…. Awesome……
Hopefully I will visit Goa this year with family, your pics & related details increased my temptation to visit Goa
wonderful place where any one can get relaxed and enjoy holidays. I would like to visit again and again.
