The magnificent scenic beauty and the architectural splendors of its temples, churches and old houses have made Goa a firm favorite with travelers around the world. Goa has a soul which goes deep into unique history, rich culture and some of the prettiest natural scenery that India has to offer.

Goa has a multi-hued and distinctive lifestyle quite different from the rest of India. Hindu and Catholic communities with minority representation of Muslims and other religions make the state’s population. Ganesh Chaturthi, Diwali, Christmas, Easter and Id are famous festivals of the State. Panaji (Panjim) is the state capital located on the banks of the Mandovi River and Vasco, Margao , Mapusa and Ponda are the other major towns.

Goan cuisine is a blend of different influences and unlike the Christian food the Hindu Goan food is not strongly influenced by the Portuguese cuisine. Besides the natural beauty, the fabulous beaches and sunshine, travelers to Goa love the laid-back, peaceful, warm and friendly nature of the Goan people. The tourist season in Goa begins in late September and carries on through early March.

Known as the Venice of the East, Alappuzha has always enjoyed an important place in the maritime history of Kerala . Today, it is famous for its boat racing, backwaters, beaches, marine products and the coconut fiber industry. Alappuzha beach is a popular picnic spot. The pier, which extends into the sea here is more than 137 years old. Entertainment in the Vijaya Beach Park add to the attraction of the beach. There is also an old lighthouse nearby, which is very fascinating for visitors.
Another wonderful experience while in Alappuzha is a houseboat cruise. Those found in the backwaters of Alappuzha are actually new version of Kettuvallams from ancient times. The original Kettuvallams or rice barges used to carry tons of rice and spices. The ‘boat with knots’ Kettuvallam or so called because the whole boat is held together with coconut knots only. In recent times, houseboats come with all the amenities of a good hotel, including furnished rooms, modern bathrooms, cozy living rooms, a kitchen and even a balcony for angling. And you can always enjoy panoramic views of the stagnant life during your stay in a houseboat.
