Product Description
Book Description
Stroll down a magical coastline dotted by white painted churches with a backdrop of a clear, blue sky or take a slow boat on an inland estuary. Goa abounds with weekly flea markets, tiny forts and hidden temples. This newly revised edition includes full colour maps and unique tips on where to eat the best Indian cuisine, sleep and drink in the land of Goa. It has a complete guide to all the beaches as the many eco-options of the interior. In India’s smallest state, you can enjoy exotic bird life, Western Ghats, the ‘Sea of Milk,’ Old Goa, St Francis Xavier’s tomb, and the Arch of Viceroys. You can experience the best ayurvedic medicine or meditation. This guide provides information about Hindu festivals, Christian holidays and coloured paint! For the adventurous soul, you can read about the best places to dive, trek and cycle. Goa is known for its strong summer sun and torrential monsoon rains, so pack your sunglasses and your umbrella! This Footprint guide shows how Goa has melded both Mediterranean and Indian cultures into a unique travel destination.

There is a passion for travel and discovery at Footprint that has been reflected in our publishing since the South American Handbook was first published back in 1924. More than 80 years on, our aim is still simple: to give travellers a refreshingly different view that helps them to follow their own route and have a unique, memorable experience. Over 100 current guides reflect the many ways in which people enjoy independent travel; whether exploring ancient sites, seeking an adrenalin-filled adventure or relaxing on the beach, our authors do all they can to bring our customers the very best of each destination we cover.
