rebeccamartin · Apr 23rd, 2006, 20:36

Hello all,

I am in Delhi at the moment but im off to Goa next week (train already booked) Im getting into Marago but my friend and i would like to stay up north in Gods gift Arambol. Were getting the Raj Express so It dosent stop before Marago. Would another train/bus/taxi be the best option?

Thank you for your help.

You can catch a bus in Margao to Panjim main bus station where there will be buses to take you to Arambul. If comfort and time are important you can take a taxi.

As per 2005 Gasolone prices, 350 Rupees in an Auto rickshaw, if you are a good negotiator.
Else, Rs 500+.
Bus: as Casey suggested: Margoa-pronounced as 'Mad-Gaon' - Panaji(Panjim) Main Bus Sation - Arambol.

Another alternative would be to get down at Savantvadi which is in Maharashtra but is much closer to Arambol. A taxi from there should be around Rp400.

Margao is pronounced Marrgow in Margao.

Margao -> Arambol = A + B + C

A = Margao to Panjim. (33 kms) - busses / 3-wheelers. INR 25
B = Panjim to Calangute. (16 kms) - busses / 3-wheelers. INR 25
C = Calangute to Arambol. (approx. 15 kms.) - Cabs / 3-wheelers. INR - 300 or more

If you wanna save the hassle - you can book a cab from Margao to Arambol. They should charge you upward of 800/- ( They charged me 650/- - official - season-fare, for Margao to Calangute).

Take your pick.

Thanks
-Condor.

No auto-rickshaw driver will take a passenger from Margao to Arambol. That is a distance of about 62 km!

There is no direct bus service from Panjim to Arambol.

That would be the best option. M2, how was your time in Arambol these past few months?
