- Goa, a tiny emerald land on the West Coast of
India with its natural scenic beauty is a
masterpiece of nature. Known as the Pearl of the
Orient, Goa beckons with its natural beauty,
stretches of pristine white sand, mesmerizing
palm trees, white churches resting against lush
green paddy fields and strumming of guitars from
distant taverns to make Goa a perfect hideaway
for those seeking respite from the concrete
jungle of modern civilization. Goa with its
attractive beaches and temples, old Goan homes
famous for its architecture, feasts and festivals
and above all hospitable people with the rich
cultural milieu have an ideal touristic profile.
-
With a
coastline of around 25 to 40 Kms, nested
in-between the warm boundless blue of the Arabian
Sea and the slopes of the Western Ghats, the
beaches serve up great aqua sports, fishing and
snorkeling experience for marine enthusiasts. One
can scuba dive into a few wrecks dating to the
colonial Portuguese era, para-sail, water ski,
sail and wind surf. You can take diving lessons,
embark on fishing trips, dolphin cruises,
crocodile spotting in backwaters or just sail to
deserted islands and have a beach bar-be-que. -
Goa was a Portuguese colony for 450
years and was liberated on 19 December 1961.
Since then it has assimilated in the Indian ethos
but still has maintained its distinct identity in
its life style, music, dance, food, drinks and
its festivals. Panjim the capital of Goa,
having preserved its heritage remarkably well, is
vested with private houses and government
buildings that date back to Portuguese times.
3Goa
- Some of the famous beaches in Goa are, Sinquerim,
Calangute, Baga, Anjuna, Vagator, Morjim and
Cavelossim, Varca, Benaulim last being famous for
turtle nesting. Large airy balconies, houses with
red roofs, narrow roads, wooded hills, baroque
churches, ancient temples and old Goan mansions
with their wide long verandahs, along-with
mangrove backwaters is an experience which would
fill your heart with something more than just
tranquility. - This
paradise is an astonishing mix of traditional and
contemporary elements and manages to keep a happy
balance between preserving its cultural heritage
and allowing new impulses to bring about change.
The zest of Goans for music and dance is amply
reflected in its festivals like Carnival, Holi,
Diwali, and Easter besides of course Christmas
and New Year, which is a weeklong party.
- Goa serves an incredible range of exotic
delicacies hence it has got its name Gourmet
Paradise. It has a wave of fusion restaurants
like Italian, Mexican, Chinese and Thai. One can
savor North Indian, Punjabi Mughlai cuisine.
The haunting flavors of Goan cuisine
unforgettably tantalize the taste buds. A visit
to seaside shacks is a must where one can have a
sumptuous taste of fish, prawns, crabs, calamari,
lobsters etc. One of the most traditional drinks
of India, Feni, comes from Goa, brewed from both
palm tree as well as caju fruit. Though all types
of liquors are readily available across the state
at a very reasonable price, the Goans are as
emotional about their feni as they are about
their cuisine. -
Goas
weather is warm but never too hot, temperatures
vary between 21 degree Celsius to 35 degree
Celsius (70F to 90 F) and features cloudless blue
skies except the monsoon the period between June
to September. However it is also during the
monsoons that Goa is at its most beautiful with
green fields and strong winds. Goan temples and
churches are a must see for all. Old Goa boasts
of the largest cathedral in Asia and the
magnificent Basilica, which houses the mortal
remains of St. Francis Xavier the patron St. of
Goa. Some of the best known Hindu temples are the
XIVth century Tambdi Surla in the far-east,
Mangueshi Temple with its mixed blend of
Architecture, Shree Mahalsa temple with its
exotic wooden carved pillars plus a host of other
ancient churches and temples. -
If you are interested in exotic birds
animals, Goa has wildlife sanctuaries, unspoiled
countryside, grassy savannas tribal villages.
The biggest sanctuary, Bhagwan Mahavir wild life
sanctuary, is 240 sq. km of tropical forest. Some
of the common animals / birds are monkeys, wild
boars, deer, Indian bison, peacocks, Egrets,
spotted dove, painted bush quail, blue rock
pigeon, three toed kingfisher, golden oriole,
magpie robin and host of other land and water
birds.

A Hotel Resort

6- Finally, a resort worthy of Anjuna
Lack of decent accommodation Goa, the cockpit of
Indian Tourism enjoys a round the year season and
hence demand for rooms. But it totally lacks
accommodation for the travelers of the 21st
century. Both domestic and foreign travelers have
increased by over 50 year-on-year since 2001.
Goa offers 6092 rooms in 83 classified hotels as
on 2007 with occupancy rates in excess of 90
year-round. The upsurge of Indian economy backed
by enhanced and affordable air connectivity have
ensured huge influx of domestic tourists thereby
putting even higher pressure on the already tight
accommodation sector. This has helped the resorts
of quality and substance to reduce allocation for
charters thereby increasing their revenues and
occupancies through the ever growing domestic
market. Tourism is always sustained by middle c
lass tourists who look forward to 3 4 star
standard hotels which Goa has extreme paucity.
The Mayfairs USP would be in-line with the above
objective and opportunity.
7- Nirvana Nest Resort
- Finally, a resort worthy of Anjuna
Resort for the 21st century traveler
By its very name, the resort would appeal to the
traveler. European landscape, swimming, indoor
and outdoor activities, bar.all to attract the
discerning traveler. The existing hotels in the
area are somehow catering to the excessive
demand but there is a huge gap and this is likely
to grow many-fold. With new economy taking long
strides and the city expanding, the vaccum would
be felt further in these areas.
Resort Concept Resort accommodation is much more
than a decorated bedroom. It is an entire world
of comfort, fun and camaderie. Everything is
available, all the time, in a clean and aesthetic
environment. Ambience, style, facilities,
comfort,.each element must be carefully planned
and executed and perhaps most importantly,
maintained. It has to be affordable for most, e
ven for a week-end getaway. The location selected
at Varca, with lush green surroundings amidst a
plush field and within close proximity of Varca
beach, Railway Station, and direct connectivity
to the airport, would always be the Resort loved
by one and all.
8About Anjuna
The Anjuna band plays for the beach party at
night. Palm trees stand motionless in the warm
air. To the east is a mountain. If you want to
return to civilization, climb the mountain to get
to Baga where you can catch a ferry out. This is
the Goa Freak capital of the World. Anjuna
becomes a fair of colors. Lines of vehicles full
of tourists start virtually raising clouds of
dust in this area. Anjuna attracts a weird and
wonderful collection of over monks, defiant
ex-hippies, gentle lunatics, artists, artisans,
seers, searchers, sybarites and itinerant
expatriates who normally wouldn't be seen out of
the organic confines of their health-food emporia
in San Francisco or London. Full moon, when the
infamous parties take place, is a particularly
good time to be here if you want to indulge in
bacchanalian delights. Only a Brit would think
about raving about the main beach, but it's worth
the walk to the small, protected sliver of sand
at South Anjuna where the area's long-term
house-renters tend to gather.
