Port Description

Mormugao (Goa), India

Full moon parties, hippie chic, and the spaced-out expat who wants to dance naked on the beach are the images that Goa brings to mind. This attitude has been relegated to the past---gladly---and replaced by a prevalence of backpackers and Indian tourists visiting the colonial ruins and Catholic churches. Mormugao is the premier and oldest Indian port, though there is little to see within the town itself. A visit to Old Goa or the capital city of Panaji are the best bets if you only have a limited amount of time.
