Central India Tours
Madhya Pradesh is full of green jungle
like Kanha Tiger Park (which is now officially known as
Kanha Tiger Reserve famous for jungle cat, Jackal, Leopard,
Sambar, Sloth Bear, Tigers, Wild Boar, Wild Dog (Dhole),
Chital and Hyena. Calangute became
almost a traveler’s cliché in the '60s and early'70s and tourist
literature is fond of referring to it as the 'Queen' of Goa's beaches’.
Baga, a little further north, is a better beach and a more relaxed place
to stay. Despite the concentration of resorts, hotels, beach huts, bars,
restaurants, and souvenir stalls, there is innocence here, a freshness
of childhood mornings. Farther north, past estuaries of the many streams
that gurgle through the land, are a series of secluded beaches. In South
Goa at a distance of mere two kilometers are the Colva and the Benaulim
beaches. The slow paced beaches are breathtakingly beautiful. The Dona
Paula beach, Vagator and Chapora are other beaches worth visiting.
