A small state is one of India's most dazzling tourist attractions and it's name is GOA . It deserves every bit of the sobriquet, the 'Pearl of the East'.
Goa successfully blends old Portuguese architecture and traditions, with a lifestyle that abounds with Indian mythology. Its unending beaches, pristine beauty of the seascape, its mystical hills and groves, the rhythmic pounding of the sea, its swaying palms - all render it a fairytale land for the traveler.

The beaches of tourist interest are Colva, Calangute, Vagator, Harmal, Anjuna and Miramar. Other tourist attractions are Basilica of Bom Jesus and Se Cathedral churches at Old Goa; Kavlem, Mardol, Mangesh, Bandora temples; Aguad, Terekhol, Chapora and Cabo de Rama Forts; Dudhsagar and Harvalem Waterfalls and Mayem Lake Resort.

The state also has fascinating wildlife sanctuaries like Bondla, Cotigao, Molem and Dr. Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary at Chorao.
