Goa - Habitat
Stretching 105 km along the coast and just 60 km at its widest, Goa
lies on the western slopes of the Sahyadri Ranges (Western Ghats) that
make up its eastern boundary. Several rivers like the Mandovi, Zuari,
Chapora and the Terekhol rise in the Western Ghats (low ranges that
taper down from the Deccan Plateau to the sea), and flow into the
Arabian Sea. The rivers break the coast into fascinating bays and
estuaries with picturesque palm-fringed beaches. The state neatly
divides into two, North and South Goa. The state capital Panaji lies
in North Goa, as do the towns of Mapusa and Old Goa, the old
Portuguese capital. The towns in South Goa are Margao and Vasco da
Gama, the main harbour and port city of Goa.
