It is also an up-to-date guide to the two important railway links being completed for public use in early 1998. This travel guide is designed for the independent traveller to Goa planning to visit cities and the countryside, and to experience what Goa really has to offer. In recent years, the Indian shores of Goa have become one of the world's great winter sun destinations. The book describes the golden beaches, which range from small intimate coves with simple accommodation to great stretches of sand serviced by hotels and restaurants of all grades. For the more adventurous spirit, there is the interior of the state: rugged mountain ranges, spectacular waterfalls, wildlife sanctuaries, Hindu temples and the Portuguese-built churches. These destinations are all easily reached by bus, train or car.
