Think of Goa and the first thing that comes to mind is its picture-perfect beaches. This small state has an abundance of natural beauty, and that is why it is one of the most frequented destinations in the country. Besides, it is well known for Se Cathedral, Shree Shantadurga Temple, Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception Church, Goa State Museum and Fort Aguada. The Church of St. Cajetan, originally called The Church of Our Lady of Divine Providence, which was built by Italian friars belonging to the order of Theatines, is also quite famous. Sites like these perfectly display the rich cultural heritage of Goa that it has successfully preserved for centuries.  

Right from Karnataka in the south to Maharashtra in the north, the shoreline of Goa is adorned with splendid beaches one after the other. The state is divided into two districts, namely North Goa and South Goa, and none of these lag behind in any aspect, be it natural splendour or popularity. While the beach scene of the northern district starts near Fort Aguada and runs to Maharashtra, the shores of the southern part of Goa begin near Margao and run south. Anjuna, Vagator, Benaulim, Majorda, Calangute and Mobor are some of the most charming beaches in Goa. 

Besides soaking the sun at these pristine beaches, you can also try a plethora of adventure sports like sailing, kayaking, rafting, angling and snorkelling. Goa is also a major hub for scuba diving in India and if you are looking to explore the underwater world, then there could hardly be any better option. A number of terrestrial sports can also be enjoyed here, and one such option is Hot Air Ballooning. Floating hundreds of feet above the ground, you capture truly unparalleled views of the Goan landscape. A great thing is that you do not need any prior experience and there is a little requirement in terms of physical ability. So, whenever you are in Goa and want to experience an adrenaline rush, you can try this aerial activity.

Another adventurous sport that you can try during a vacation in Goa is trekking. This outdoor activity is a favourite for many, mostly because it is relatively less exhausting. From a few hours to well over two or maybe three-week long ones, a wide range of trekking excursions are available for you to choose from. The thrill quotient of trekking increases when you combine camping and other such exciting activities with it.

Blessed with magnificent mountain ranges like the Himalayas and Karakoram, India is a great place to go for trekking. Be it any part of the country, east, west, north or south, you can find apt trekking locations if you are into the sport. Valley of Flowers, Pin Parvati, and Har Ki Doon are some popular treks in the northern part of the country. The north-eastern region of India, which also boasts the highest peak in the country, Kangchenjunga, is brilliant for the activity. Many easy to moderate to demanding treks are organised here. Goecha La and Sandakphu are worth mentioning. You can choose the one that suits your strength and stamina, and then embark on an amazing holiday experience.  

The Western Ghats or Sahyadri Hills, which are older than the Himalayas, offer infinite trekking opportunities in the western and southern part of the country. Running parallel to the western coast of the country, the mountain range crosses the states of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Goa. This 1600-km stretch of mountains and hills covers a total area of about 140000 sq km. Owing to the biological diversity and the geological and cultural significance; the Western Ghats are listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. It is also recognised as one of the 8 hottest hotspots of biological diversity in the world.
