Goa - A perfect Honeymoon Destination

Even though there are many wonderful honeymoon destinations in the world, Goa is something special. This place really puts a spell on you - ensnaring you so you always want to return. High, green and gorgeous, Goa is honeymooner's dream, a land with beaches that stretch into tomorrow. The accommodations run a tempting gamut from a sprawling seaside resort to a hyperactive all-inclusive, stylish full-service hotel.

This former Portuguese colony lies mid-way down the west coast of India. Visitors are drawn to Goa’s lush hills and cool blue waters, cathedrals and coconut groves, spice plantations and paddy fields, sun, sand and sea, for its joie de vivre and its warm and friendly people.

Hand in hans, you will fall for Goa's zesty food, music, remote beaches and hidden coves, lazy rivers for canoeing, birdsong and starry nights. Goa's vivid, engaging people will teach you to relax, take one thing at a time.

Goa - How to reach there
By Air
Goa has an international airport at Dabolim, 30 km from the capital, Panaji. Several overseas charter companies as well as most domestic airlines have flights to Dabolim. The regular domestic connections are from Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Kochi and Chennai. From the airport to your hotel or to any of the towns, catch a cab, a metered taxi, city buses or airline coach to their city offices.

By Train
The two main railway stations are Margao (Madgaon) and Vasco da Gama. Rail travel to Goa from most parts of India is now vastly improved with the commissioning of the Konkan Railway, the linking of Mumbai and Mangalore along the coast, as well as conversion of the track from metre to broad gauge. The major connections are to Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Rajkot and Thiruvananthapuram. From other places in the north, east and southeast you can travel to Londa Junction and then transfer to a connecting train to Margao/Vasco da Gama.

By Road
Most people prefer to travel to Goa by road. Renting a car and being independent is really the best thing, but the buses are pretty good too. Bus connections are available to Mumbai, Bangalore, Mangalore, Mysore, Pune, and other important tourist destinations in the region, operated by the Goa, Karnataka and Maharashtra Road Transport Corporations and some private operators. Air-conditioned bus services are also available on some of the routes.

Goa - Habitat
Stretching 105 km along the coast and just 60 km at its widest, Goa lies on the western slopes of the Sahyadri Ranges (Western Ghats) that make up its eastern boundary. Several rivers like the Mandovi, Zuari, Chapora and the Terekhol rise in the Western Ghats (low ranges that taper down from the Deccan Plateau to the sea), and flow into the Arabian Sea. The rivers break the coast into fascinating bays and estuaries with picturesque palm-fringed beaches. The state neatly divides into two, North and South Goa. The state capital Panaji lies in North Goa, as do the towns of Mapusa and Old Goa, the old Portuguese capital. The towns in South Goa are Margao and Vasco da Gama, the main harbour and port city of Goa.

Goa - Climate
Goa is warm and humid throughout the year, with little variation in the temperatures, which stay around 28°-33° C (average maximum temps). You can expect it to rain heavily during the months of June through August, with July receiving as much as 133 cm. (52 inches). The rains taper off by early October and the months between November and February are usually dry.
