Instead of spending winter in United Kingdom and other part of Eroupe, when few hours away there is a paradise, A stretch of coastline where, from October to April, the skies are unbelievably blue and the days long, warm and sunny. Where dolphins leap out of the Arabian Sea in the morning, and where beyond the long, sandy beaches, lay tropical gardens of flowers and coconut groves caressing hotels of charm. Where healthy living and good food habits come naturally. Illness and stress is banished with natural therapies like Ayurveda and Naturopathy. Where time stands still and happiness is a state of mind .This paradise is Goa.
What absolutely amazes us about Goa is the friendliness of the people which continues to remain true with every visit. So many people just like to say hello, ask your name and where you’re from? Even the fishermen appreciate a helping hand to push their boats back up the beach, a labour often rewarded with a smile or sometimes even a couple of fish which can easily be traded for pineapple and a coconut.
The sheer beauty of the beaches is unbelievable, with their fine yellow sand and a backdrop of coconut trees. Whether way up north in Tiracol with its fort, in the heart of North Goa from Arpora / Baga through to Calangute / Candolim, or in the quieter south, the beaches are spectacular. There is nothing more relaxing than walking along the sand barefoot early in the morning when the fishermen are bringing in their catch, or in the late afternoon when the wonderful warm light radiates beauty…the sunsets are to die for.
The capital of Goa, panjim, is still very much a working capital with daily hustle and bustle of commercial life. It’s fascinating to walk along the streets just looking at the wares, from bric-a-brac through to international trademarks, particularly sportswear. Clothing, material, cashew nuts, Jewellery, hamacks, and wooden product from either panjim or one of the many markets will fill your suitcase with easel Travel before Christmas and buy the most unusual presents at a fraction of the price you pay in your country. Getting about in Goa too is both cheap and easy.
Goa is the ideal winter destination – a place, a way of life and an atmosphere that is addictive. Experience Goa with Recreation

Friendly Local
Goa has been ruled by Portugal’s for more than 450 years and thus, naturally acquires much of the Portugal’s influences in the culture, architectures, cuisine and lifestyle. Often knows as “The romance of the east” it is perhaps the most westernized of all the states in Modern India and majority of the Goans are very bohemian in their way of life. With a typical tropical lifestyle, they are easy-going in nature. Indulging in “siesta”, usually from 1 pm, dance and music, food, drama, and ‘feni’ is what Goans are known for.
Goa is also a land of crafts and craftsmen. Excellence in poetry, music and the fine arts give Goa its distinct identity. The ancient tradition of exquisitely carved rosewood and teak furniture, the unique gold jewellery designs, the terracotta figurines and the classic brass items along with the folk paintings of Goa are some of the most cherished legacy of Goans.
