India has many major and minor ports. Some of the main ones are Mumbai, Visakhapatnam, Cochin, Mangalore and Kolkata. India’s long and varied coastline gives it ample scope for developing its coastal tourism. There are a lot of tourists who come here for taking part in adventure water sports and to go cruising.
The diverse cultures, coastal cuisine and lifestyle attract you. Most tourists stay in resorts and calm beach fronts that leave you with a lot of time to experiment with the seaside. There are river cruises, too, in most of the Indian states. Cities like Mumbai, Goa and Cochin have a wide and well-connected river/canal transport system.
Besides cruising and boating, you can go canoeing, sea swimming, fishing and diving. Resorts and travel agencies offer multiple packages and travel options.
