Bangalore to Goa.

firemansmith · Aug 4th, 2009, 18:06

Hi I am due to arrive in Bangalore 31st Oct 09. We are hoping to go to Goa where we have accomodation booked. my questions are.

What alternatives do I have to get from Bangalore to Goa?
Would it be best to sort out travel arrangements when we are in Bangalore. ( staying about 4 days )?

And finally what would be the cost? Obviously this would vary depending on times and mode of travel,but a general 'rough idea ' would help in making a decision.

Thanks in anticipation
Dave.

Ps I have tried to find it on the site before posting this but to no avail.

There is an option to travel either by Air or by Train or by bus. use ixigo.com to fina the time taken , cost and availability of each of the options.

its better to book the tickets ahead if u planning by air or train.
if u plan to take a hired cab or tourist bus,then u can do that when u r here.i guess for bus it cost less than 1000 per head.

There are two KSRTC Volvo buses from Bangalore to Goa, departing Bangalore 18:00 and 19:30. Travel time is around 13 hrs and per seat cost around Rs 800/-

There are no direct trains from Bangalore to Goa. You would have to catch a train from Yeshvanpur Junction or Krishnarajapuram

Check www.erail.in for trains

7309 starts from Yeshvantpur 5kms from Bangalore and ends at Vasco
7311 starts from Chennai and passes through Krishnarajapuram, Yeshvantpur and ends at Vasco

Yep, trains 3 days a week leave around 15:30 from memory - you can alight at Madgaon or Vasco. Train is better than the bus, and more likely to run to time.

Hi there! The train is a great experience and I have recently been to Goa on the train although we went via another town first.

I loved the scenery and have some great footage! Be adventerous I say and enjoy the journey!

Happy Days!
