This coastal state presents a fine blend of tradition and modernity, and is home to several enchanting tourist attractions.

A vacationer’s paradise, Goa presents an exhilarating combination of an unending expanse of spectacular beaches, sensuous golden sands, rich cultural heritage, varied flora and fauna, beautiful churches and magnificent temples. You simply don't need to look beyond the magical land of Goa for the perfect holiday, be it fun, adventure, sunshine, spirituality or just relaxation. Madhya Pradesh is often called the heart of India with a landscape of plateaus, river valleys, hills, and forests. For the visitor, the highlight of Madhya Pradesh is the three UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the 9th-10th century temples at Khajuraho known for their erotic carvings, remains of the 3rd century BC - 7th century AD Buddhist settlement at Sanchi and the cave paintings dating to 8000 BC at Bhimbetka.
