| MOTORCYCLE ADVENTURE
along the coast - once a colony of the Portuguese, Goa has much
to show of its past heritage & culture. Culturally different
from the rest of India in many ways, Goa makes an interesting
destination, not only for its unique blend of cultures, but
also for its splendid sandy beaches bathed by the hot tropical
sun and the cool waves of the Arabian Sea!
|
| With the sea on the west, the 'Western
Ghats' towering 500- 2700 m on the east, and networked by rivers,
South enjoys unique geographical features that have made it
amongst the 'top 20 tourist destinations of the world' ! An
equable climate; a long shoreline with serene beaches; tranquil
stretches of emerald 'backwaters'; lush hill stations ; waterfalls;
sprawling plantations and paddy fields; Ayurvedic health resorts;
enchanting art forms; magical festivals; historic monuments
& temples, and the rich culture... All to be experienced
riding the macho Enfield Bullet through 'Gods own country'. |
