  2. The kind of attention that Goa gets during Christmas and New Year's Eve is almost unfair to other destinations in India. But the bang for buck you get here is vastly more than anywhere else. Nicely detailed, though I'd liked a little more information about the Sunburn Festival, since I've heard that is THE place to be!
