destination frequented by tourists from all corners of the globe. Brilliant
lush green fields surrounding village and hamlets, white washed churches
standing out against occasional empty patches of startling red soil. Welcome to

bougainvillea. Goa is indeed a great collage of sights, experiences and
history.
