Talking Photos: Karmali Railway Station, Lake, Old Goa etc I must say that the present Konkan Railway route is not a good alignment.
It’s away from the capital city about 12-13 Kms. There are no frequent buses from/near Karmali Railway Station Even the name ‘Karmali’ does not sound good ‘Old Goa’ Station was an ideal one. The only major station Goa has is the Margao Rly Station where almost all trains stops. Anyway, what’s done is done. The other day, I used Karmali Rly Station to go to ‘Rajapur Road’ Stn which is near to Hot Water Spring and Rajapur Ganga that was discussed here yesterday.
