Goa,
a tiny emerald land on the West Coast of India, with its natural scenic
beauty, attractive beaches and temples famous for its architecture, feasts
and festivals and above all hospitable people with a rich cultural milieu,
has an ideal tourist profile.
Ensconced on the slopes of the
Western ghats (Sahyadri ranges) Goa is bounded on the North by Sindhudurg
district of Maharashtra, on the East by Belgaum, on the South by Karwar
district of Kamataka and on the West by Arabian Sea.
Its
rivers, Tiracol, Chapora, Mandovi, Zuari, Sal and Talpona, which are
navigable throughout the year, have their origin in the Sahyadri ranges and
flow westward into the Arabian Sea, 60 kms away, breaking the long coast
line covering a length of 105 kms into enchanting estuaries and bays which
mark off idyllic palm-fringed beaches like Arambol, Vagator, Anjuna, Baga
and Calangute in the North and Colva, Betui and Palolem in the South.
