Canacona Bliss

Delights of the Goan monsoon.

Canacona, the southernmost district of Goa, has it all: lush fields, forests, wildlife, mountains, rivers, ruins, charming hamlets, and secluded beaches. Until 2000 it was unknown to the outside world. Then Matt Damon came along and discovered Palolem beach in the 2004 movie, The Bourne Supremacy. And later the Instagram era arrived and with it the ‘bucket list’ savages.

I had once pitched the idea of designating Canacona a protected State Park to the then-Chief Minister of Goa but the IIT-miseducated fellow was uninterested. On the other hand, if I had proposed something involving steel & concrete…

Monsoon is a glorious experience in Canacona. Be sure to watch the video short below.
