Goan Culture

Goa boasts of an unique culture so well woven in the Goan life style. You're in for a memorable holiday in Goa, which has so much to offer its visitors - quite apart from its famously idyllic palm fringed stretches of white sand. Goa is still one of the most unique places in the world the traveller can visit or live. An old Portuguese colony on the west coast of India, it's long been a refuge of freaks and hippies, a centre for trance parties and raves and is now rapidly being chewed up by package tourism and development. Portuguese culture is today so imbibed in the lives of Goans that it's difficult to imagine Goa without its Portuguese connection. The result of four and half centuries of rule is today what Goa is, a unique, rich blend of western and eastern culture. This unique blend apparent every where, from art and architecture to food and music, is the trademark of Goa.

A trip to Goa will not only give you a glimpse of an unique culture with its characteristic music and dances but will help you unwind in its natural bounty and languid atmosphere.Bright green paddy fields, churches, hindu temples mixed with the blazing colours of saris and jewellery, the hustle and bustle of the street markets all mingle with the mouth watering smells of Goan cuisine. Goa is still one of the coolest places in the world to visit or live. Come to Goa ... experience the sunny side of paradise!
