| How to Reach Goa |
As Goa is a major tourist destination in India, the city
is well connected with other parts of the country.
|
| Air : Goa's international airport,
Dabolim, is 29 km from Panaji, on the coast near Vasco da Gama. Most of
India's domestic airlines operate services here, as well as several direct
charter companies that fly into Goa from the UK and Germany. There are
numerous flights between Goa and Mumbai. |
| |
| Road : Goa has good road connections.
Goa, Maharashtra and Karnataka state road transport corporations all
operate service out of Panaji's Kadamba bus stand. There are also services
to Londa (where you can get a daily direct railway connection to Mysore
every day), Hubli (a railway junction on the main Mumbai to Bangalore
line, where you can also get trains to Gadag for both Bijapur and Badami,
and Hospet and Hampi) and Belgaum |
| |
| Rail : Now the
lines of the Goa is transferred from meter-gauge to broad-gauge. Goa's two
main stations are at Margao and Vasco da Gama. Other useful stations on
the Konkan route are Mapusa Road (Thivim) for Mapusa and Old Goa (Karmali)
for Panaji. Vasco-da-Gama and Margoa are connected by train with
Bangalore, Belgaum, Hospet and Hyderabad and via Miraj to Bombay, Delhi
and Agra. |
| |
| Water : As matter
of fact that Goa lies on the side of Arabian sea so water transport is
available and one of the means of the transport. The catamaran service
between Mumbai and Panaji, operated by Frank Shipping, has been a bit
erratic in recent years due to breakdowns. In theory it sails between
October and May. |
| |
| Local Transport :
To move around Goa, there are local bus services operated by private bus
owners and the State Undertaking Kadamba Transport Corporation in addition
to luxury coaches, mini coaches, tourist taxis, auto rickshaws and
motorcycle taxis, and cruises. |
