Recommendation for places to visit in Goa , -- Beaches and beautiful scenery-- any festival or acitivies will be going on ? Things to be aware while travelling ?

I've found the website and think it may help. Pls check : http://ezinearticles.com/?Christmas-and-New-Year-Celebrations-in-Goa&id=878908

I've never been there before 'coz I think nothing's interesting. I'm wrong, aren't I?

Though Gao is a little state in the west India , there are sevaral activities and places that can lure tourists almost all years.

Baeaches are main focus of Goa . People form both European countries love to visit the state in Winter time as the climate is excellant by that time.

In summertime , tourists from across India come to spend the holidays.

There is also carnival festival but I'm not sure about the period . New Year celabration in Goa is also one of activities that draw attention from tourists.

Not sure about the festivals.But it will entertain you throughout the year.There are six listed land-based gambling casinos in Goa offering some of the most popular games like blackjack, roulette, craps and baccarat. You can spice up your night life by visiting any of the pubs or discotheques scattered in almost every nook and corner of the state. A combination of salubrious weather, relaxed lifestyle and festive mood prevalent everywhere makes it a perfect destination for partying.

By Christmas Eve, Goa overflows with farflung members of families returning home and visitors keen to experience the thrills of the season - from Christmas carols on Fm radio, in buses and bars to long-drawn midnight masses. The nativity scene will be creatively put together with clay statues, millet grass, hay and boxboard artifacts. The bustling market places are all embellished with tinsel and buntings, and jocund people masquerading as Santa stalk customers, particularly children with gifts in the big cities. It is indeed an impressive sight and one should miss the frolic of wandering on Goa's streets. Houses are decorated with the glowing star and little Christmas trees decorated with sparling stars, cotton or snow flakes, lights, candy and cakes. You can even see some Hindu homes adorned with small clay oil-burning lamps as Christmas decorations. These small clay lamps are placed on the edges of flat roofs and on the tops of walls. Gifts are exchanged with friends and family, and diet charts are replaced with mouth-watering goodies that sum up the ceremony.

Cheers
