This cute and tiny state covers an area of 3,704 sq. kilometers. Lapped by the waters of the Arabian-Sea in the west and separated from the rest of the India by the green hills of the Western Ghats, Goa ‘the pearl of the Orient’ is a very attractive tourist spot. Goa lies between the coasts of Maharashtra and Karnataka and is an ideal destination for those who love beaches, food and fun. There is a 100-kilometers long ridge of Western Ghats mountain range that makes up the border between Goa and Karnataka.
