Often called the “tourist paradise of India” or the “Pearl of the Orient”, Goa is undoubtedly a must-visit place in India. Given that it has sandy beaches, swaying palm trees, and crispy prawns you can get by the beach, there can be no doubt – Goa is an absolute delight! Goa is a coastal region located towards the western part of India and bounded by the Arabian Sea on one side and land on the other. Although this is the smallest region in the country, it has the largest number of beaches spread across an area of 3,702 km square. With more than 50 beaches in the region, Goa witnessed a footfall of 633,100 tourists in 2017! Quite a big number for such a small place. But that’s the beauty of it: it never gets cramped here!
