I guess it is 12-14 hrs Fare? It depend on what you take i.g. luxury, semi-luxury, sleeper or Volvo Again, it is seasonal e.g. Volvo Rs,800 can cost up to Rs.1500 during peak season I guess, in general, it starts from Rs.300 to Rs.1200 By air? About an hour but add two hrs before the departure, then about two hrs from airport to Central Bombay so total could be 5hrs (provided there are no flt delays) Fare? Again, it depend on which airline you take Currently, it can ranges from Rs.2850 to Rs.5000 (including around Rs.2350 taxes and Surcharges) Whatever you take Wishing you Safe journey Shub yaatra Bon voyage Bom Viagem Bore baxen voch (ani yo) [email protected] for Goa & NRI related info... http://in.groups.yahoo.com/group/GOAN-NRI/ For Goan Video Clips http://youtube.com/joeukgoa In Goa, Dial 1 0 8 For Hospital, Police, Fire etc
