Colva, Goa, India | Main Colva Road

The southern district of Goa, also called South Goa is spread over 1966 sq. km of area. Sharing its borders with Karnataka, South Goa is known primarily for its stretch of virgin white sandy beaches and the largest 5-7 star resorts. With Goa’s only airport at Dabolim, South Goa is on its way to becoming an increasingly popular beach destination attracting European backpackers. The sheer beauty of the beaches with its share of wildlife, ancient monuments, churches, temples, waterfalls, hill spots, paddy fields and coconut gardens are reason enough to attract visitors.

Rice is the most important crop that is cultivated here due to its warm humid climate. Rice cultivation along with chillies and onions are grown mostly near the coastal regions. Following the monsoon, cash crops like cashew, coconut, mangoes, areca palm, kokum and jackfruit are also grown.

One of South Goa's largest cities, Vasco Da Gama was once a prosperous port town during the bustling colonial Portuguese era. The Mormugao (Margao) port links other destinations in Goa by sea. The railway station at Margao is an important link in the Konkan railway. The charm of Margao is contained in its cultural heritage which is a smooth blend of Portuguese and Hindu cultures.

The Sahyadri Mountains covered with dense forests lie to the east of South Goa. Some of the renowned peaks in South Goa are Chandranath at Paroda, Dudhsagan in Sanguem taluka and Cormolghant in Canacona taluka. The rivers flowing in South Goa are Zuari, Talpona, Sal and Galgibag that are used for transportation. Inland waterways play an important role in transport of mineral ores from the mining sites in Sanguem taluka such as Costi, Kirpal, Netravalim, Rivona, Ducorcond and Kuddegal to the Mormugao harbour for export. South Goa is rich in natural resources like trees, iron and manganese ore. It is exported mainly to Japan, South Korea and some European countries.

Further south, lays the urbanized Colva Beach, the Benaulim Beach with its affluent local tourists, the more harmonious Agonda and Patnem Beaches, and finally Palolem. Palolem is where most backpackers in India head to for a few days of rest, to recuperate from their choc-a-bloc itineraries through Northern India.
