| It is TEN HOURS by train from Goa to Mumbai. You can go to Belgaum or Hubli by 5-hour bus, or to Dharwad (to visit friends of mine!), but to any significant center in south India, we are are getting into two-day territory. You can fly from Mumbai to Sri Lanka; by train and ferry we are talking three days, maybe plus.
India is a BIG place (and not much of it is accessible from Goa). I would think the main reason to go to Goa is because you want to be there. |
