Indian seas
«Walking across the three seas» The Tver merchant Afanasy Nikitin, who visited distant India in the 15th century, called his masterpiece literary work. In addition to colorful sarees, bright oriental bazaars and an endless kaleidoscope of impressions from the local cuisine and customs, the traveler was conquered by the seas of India, which today are one of the main magnets for tourists from all over the world..
The edge of eternal summer
Wintering in the land of elephants and tea is very popular today. Freelancers and other fans of unpretentious work contracts, whose conditions do not include daily appearance in the office or at work, answer the question of which sea washes India without hesitation. Their patrimony is the province of Goa, where the warmest beaches, and the variety of levels and hotel prices allow even the most modest travelers not to appear in the gray Moscow slush for many months..
The Indian subcontinent is washed in the west by the Arabian Sea, which is part of the Indian Ocean basin. It is on its coast that the main beaches of North and South Goa are located. The climate on the local shores is tropical, characterized by monsoons, and the water temperature ranges from +23 degrees in winter to + 29 in summer. The maximum precipitation on the Indian shores of the Arabian Sea occurs in the summer months.
Western direction
But it is not only Goa that the Indian tourist is alive, and when asked which seas in India, the most advanced answer is the Bay of Bengal of the Indian Ocean. A very unusual state is located here, which includes the islands of the Andaman and Nicobar archipelagoes. What is the special charm of a holiday on the Indian islands?
- The archipelagos are a closed area because nature reserves and national parks are located here. The consequence of this is the need for special permits to visit, and therefore - a real opportunity to be alone with nature..
- Ships go to the Andaman Islands from the ports of Chennai and Kolkatta, the journey on which may appeal to fans of seascapes.
- On Havelock Island there is an opportunity to go diving and get to know the inhabitants of the Indian sea. The list of possible candidates includes sea turtles and dolphins. The forests on the shore delight you with many bright birds and even elephants that live here on a completely legal basis..
- For those who prefer to admire the vibrant flora and fauna without diving, excursions on a boat with a glass bottom are included in the entertainment program on the islands..
