Goa Monsoon Trip: Train to Goa

I took a new and convenient train route to Goa via Hubli. Hubli now has the world’s longest railway platform at 1.5 kms.

I like traveling by train to Goa. But, the direct train to Goa from Bengaluru starts in the afternoon. Since it starts in the afternoon, it wastes half a day.

This time I traveled to Hubli. There are a lot more trains to Hubli compared to Goa. The train I took departs at 11:45 pm on Friday. So, I could take the train after work.

The train reached Hubli at 7:30 am in the morning. Hubli is 5 hrs drive to Goa. There are plenty of Buses available from both KSRTC (Karnataka State Transport) and Kadamba (Goa State Transport).

The KSRTC bus stand is 15 mins from the railway station by an Auto. I managed to catch the 8:00 am bus which was completely empty. It stopped for tea at Ramnagara and I was home by 1:00 pm. Goa greeted us with heavy rainfall.

At home I had requested my Dad to get the goan fish curry (Umant). After a flavourful lunch with lots of fish I concluded my journey with a good afternoon nap.

I wished I had explored this route earlier!
