Goa to Kerala

Hi ,
we are considering traveling to kerala from goa by train or air , can anyone offer advice , also any idea on costings please i know the rail would be cheaper and probally more senic advice would be welcome thanks

Train is a nice journey but quite long. From Goa it takes around 9 hours to read the kerela border and then depending how far into kerela you are going. To nearly the boarder a cheap seat cost around £1...

\If you're tight on time then air is the obvious winner...

thankyou i would prefer the 1st class or 2 nd class what would that cost if you could help thankyou

If you got the time, choose the 2nd class train option for this specific journey. Period.

There are a couple o' stickies on the Indian Railways sub-forum that can answer your question on price. Search away.

thankyou clint

Of course, the best way to travel is still the mule. Best wishes.

And you can get mule costings from any popular mule site.

You can also get all flying info from www.ixigo.com and train info from www.indianrail.gov.in

Easy!

Thanks for the information - I to was wondering exactly the same thing!

just like to say thankyou for the help and will look forward to the visit of kerala , i dont suppose you can reccomend any hotel in kerala centre near the rail station or within good local area and would like a 2* plus if possible , i know it is in india but come on we all like to have some comforts

There is a Konkan Railway train, early in the morning that leaves Goa for Kerala. Views are amazing. Do a search for Konkan Railway and you will see what I mean.

As for hotels see

Enjoy your stay in Kerala.
I am looking forward to mine in December :-)

Hi drayman,

For a hotel near railway station in Ernakulam (Kochi) try the
Abad Metro or Yuvarani Residency.They both can be reached by email

hotel@yuvaraniresidency.com - for Abad Metro just go to website for Abad Hotels Kerala.

Hi everyone. I'm travelling from Goa to varkala by train on 28th feb and am confused by it all. Can anyone offer advice please x x x

Get a friend to read your post, ask them what information you're looking for.

To bring it home a little.....

I'm travelling from Battle to Tonbridge by train, can anyone offer advice please.


Because you don't say you 'want' to travel, we can assume you already have a confirmed ticket, if not, you still have the difficult bit to deal with, getting a ticket.

Are you in India yet?

Where else are you travelling?

Where will you be staying in Goa?

Where else do you plan to go in Kerala?

What's your budget?

How many travelling?

All these questions are important and will lead to the best options for you regarding trains and itinerary order.
