Goa beaches are popular and people visit them quite often on their visits; however, they miss to the experience of the tranquil and serene backwater, the calmness of rivers like Chapora, Mandavi, and Siolim, chirping morning birds, unseen rustic lands of unknown villages, diving fishermen, lush green shores of rivers and brooks, and the ripples in the waters when a river meets the sea.
