Goa
Goa’s hot white sands and sparkling waters have long made it a popular destination with anyone travelling in India. British troops used to come here for the bars and brothels, and while these are very much still on offer, most visitors are drawn in by the palm-fringed beaches. The snorkelling and jet skiing are top notch. There are plenty of attractions inland as well: crumbling colonial architecture, spice farms and delicious east-meets-west cuisine.
