reasons to love the monsoon

Tourists flock to the state of sun and sand in winter. But Goa has a charm all its own in the rains. Yes, the beaches are deserted, but also fascinating, as you watch the rain bearing clouds roll in.Whats more, the paddy fields and the gardens all turn emerald green, with church spires gleaming white here and there. Goa in the rains is a must do activity for the traveller who wants to veer off the beaten path.

While we enjoy walks in the rain and sloshing in puddles, the rains also have us seeking warmth and cosiness indoors. Theres nothing quite like staying warm and safe at home while the rains lash outside.So, get under that cosy quilt, and read a good book, listening to the pitter patter of the rain. Or, watch your favourite flick on DVD and dont forget the buttered popcorn.
