Goa the most famous seaside and party state of India, Goa has always been an attraction for the tourists, who want to be close to the sea, sand and enjoy the sun. In the 60's Goa was among the most frequented visited places in India. The hippies thronged the place and with them came a culture of careless, unbounded lifestyle. Today all this has changed. Instead of the hippies, one spots serious tourists who come to enjoy the beaches and colourful culture of Goa. Today the beach parties might be small but they are more lively and have much more fun to offer than the "stoned" parties during the hippy trails of the past.
And who can forget Feni, the locally brewed liquor which is popular as much among the tourist as it is among the locals. But the main attraction of Goa is its soft golden beaches. These beaches still awash with budget travelers of all ages and degrees of affluence |
