Hello!
To all my travel lover friends. I visited goa many times because luckily my sister is living here... haha! But,everytime I visit goa,I feel like heaven here. Peaceful city. People are doing there own bussiness I can wear whatever I want, I can roam here freely with my sister's beautiful colour vespa bike,canon m50 camera and tripod.😜😍😂Goa is mostly famous for it's beaches, greenery, club and cassino. But there's so much more to explore in goa...like colorful goan countryside, wildlife sanctuaries, temples, markets, churches, beaches, cassino, historical sites and festivals.
Goa's capital is an attractive,colorful and full of historic city "panjim". panjim is now called "panaji" but most people still call it the old name "panjim".
Briefly I write here some place tht I visited nearest panjim area...!

I clicked selfie with her and did some talks. Miramar beach is one of the two only beaches in Panjim, other being Caranzalem beach. Many people, mostly tourists, come to this beach every day. This beach is a great spot for strolling, wading,picnicking and swimming... It is clean and tends not to get crowded.

I clicked some photos there with raw boats ,sunset clicks and I saw many gym trainers giving training there... some people are roaming with dogs and tourists enjoying with there loved ones... and I clicked all d thing beauty of nature and human life... :)
4. Dona Paula : Dona Paula was a woman of charity, and is known to have helped the villagers and worked a lot for their betterment. Hence after her death, the villagers decided to rename the village as Dona Paula. Initially, the village was called "Oddavell"
dona paula named for a Portuguese romantic heroine popular in local folklore.Dona Paula Beach also is the meeting point of the "Zuari and Mandovi Rivers" and is beautified by fronds of palm trees breaking the silvery shimmer of the beach sand. The beach is popular for the host of water sports. Dona Paula is also popular as a shooting site. Rightnow construction is going on...some restaurants,hotels and souvenir shops are also open there... I bought one flat fan and one rounded brown purse. I will click beautiful pictures with it ... am sure girls love this type of tiny tings !

8.panjim chruch: This colonical Portuguese church is the spiritual and geographical centre of panjim.A chapel was first built there in 1540 and then in 1619 the church was the first port of call when sailing to Lisbon when panjim was just a small fishing village. It wasn't until the 1850 that the land in front of the chruch was reclaimed and criss cross stairs were added.
This is a beautiful baroque style chruch that sits on a hill overlooking panjim like a white fancy Christian girl wedding dress.its not a big surprise that most photographer's landmark city. The chruch is also beautiful illuminated at night. Definitely one of the very best things to do in panjim.

12. Carnival: goa carnival is celebrated every year in late February/ early march time.the entire main street is closed off to traffic and instead its is filled with colorful floats with king momo,who declears that everyone should eat,drink and be marry,and this is exactly what everyone does during goa viva carnival. It's one of the very best things to do in panjim so book accommodation well in advance if you're coming for celebration of carnival.
