How to Reach GOA

I started this trip from Delhi but will also provide information to reach GOA from some important Indian destination.

Delhi to GOA is very long distance 1910 Kilometres through road and train. There are two three major trains from Delhi to GOA which takes almost two days. GOA Express, Mangla express on daily basis. There two trains which are better and save lots of time GOA Samparkaranti and Rajadhani express. These trains not on daily basis.

You can reach to GOA in just 2.5 Hrs. also by flight. If you are planning one side by flight and one side by train then I will suggest you to go by train and return by flight as at the time of return you will feel very much tiring journey.

Flights are quite expensive if you are booking 15-20 days prior to your visit so just plan 1-1.5 months before the trip.

Airport in GOA is known as dabolim Airport. When you get down at the airport and will look around in airport to find taxi you will see there are two taxi booths inside the airport but by looking around you will not found other than those booths but when you move out of airport you will found there is one big pre-paid taxi counter and most of the people are taking taxi from outside. I came to know this when I already book a taxi from inside and move outside and found and everyone is getting the taxi from outside but obvious it is cheaper than insider ones.

Mumbai to Goa distance is very near driving distance 579.1km by train and road too. The view Mumbai to GOA is very nice view lots of hills and waterfall and very fine greenery and ya found lots of tunnel in train view. All Delhi train goes via Mumbai so u don’t worry you never miss that view.

From Bangalore to goa distance is around 600 km and there are many overnight buses and trains to goa.

There are three train stations in GOA Madgaon, karmali and Thivim for the trains like smaprk kranti express, goa express.

Thivim  is the nearest railway station from calanguate north GOA. Takes care while coming back put boarding to the station from you want to board.

 Mdagaon and karmali is quite far from calungate and the local taxi guys charge around 1000 RS For thivim you need to pay 400 rs only from calanguate.
