No culture tours to India
will ever be complete without visiting Goa, India's
smallest state in terms of area.
A former Portuguese
colony, Goa is known the world over for its beautiful
beaches, where thousands upon thousands of tourists
taking the best Indian tours converge every year.
Goa
is, in fact, one of the top tourist destinations of
choice for travelers from Europe.
Goa's beautiful beaches, however, are not the only
reason why so many tourists go on India culture tours
and drop by this West Indian state.

Goa also boasts of the Bom Jesus Basilica, a World Heritage
Site where the remains of St. Francis Xavier, a saint of
the Catholic Church are kept. Another mark the Portuguese
have indelibly left in Goa is the Goa Carnival, a non-stop
3-day festival of color, song and music.
Avail of an India Culture
Tour package and see for yourself how much this festival
epitomizes the fun-loving culture that characterizes
the state of Goa itself.
And just like Goa's beaches, this festival entices
tourists to take the Goa tours India travel agencies
are offering and witness, or even take part in the
festivities.
The throwing of eggs, lemons, mud, flour or just about
anything messy but harmless stuff at passersby is one
of the most distinct traditions of the Goa Carnival.

Some people, however, do battle in the streets and hit
each other with wooden spoons and brooms, all in the spirit
of fun, of course. A plethora of plays, song and dance numbers
punctuate the fun experience by those who go on India Cultural
Tours and visit Goa in time for the carnival.
Joining the festivities of the Goa Carnival is only one of virtually countless India cultural travel experiences that you will surely cherish when you embark on Indian Culture Tours.
