GOA






 The enchanting Goa trip starts on the eve of X mas



The beautiful picturesque nature of Goa have been haunting all these days in our mind



We fifteen from Kannur  planned the trip……….
Now we are at PANAJI, the Capital City of Goa.

Occupying a narrow coastal area between the Altinho Hill and Mandovi River lies Panaji .By 16 th Century came into existence as a guarding post, tax collection Centre and a stop over for sailors en route to Old Goa during Muslim and Portugueese regimes. In 1843 Panaji was declared as the capital









Other important cities are Margoa, Old Goa, Ponda, Mopusa……..





There are many beautiful beaches.






 COLVA Beach, Anjuna Beach, Calangute , Baga are some of the exquisite natural beaches …….

Mangos and Cashewnuts are widely grown here. The delicious variety of alfanso locally known  as Hapus is very famous.
 The rural people finds their livelihood in roasting and keeping Cashew shells carefully broken up and maintain the kernel intact. This delicate job is done by the women workers as a household self employment like our Beedi rolling work in Kannur.






 Fenny is another product like Jam, Squash which flourishes and makes huge income and employment opportunities.









 This makes a great inspiration to keep Goa a wonderland for tourists all over the world and makes Goa enjoying











Goa Fort







Murudeswar Temple is world famous.
