    Cloakrooms

    Posted by Consort 29 January 2007

    This is how left luggage offices are indicated on railway stations in south India. If you have time between trains or need a cheap and secure place to leave your bags after checking out of your accommodation look for the 'Cloakroom'.

    The whole south coast of Goa is a string of spectacular beaches and lovely towns, such as Udupi on the Karnataka coast. Inland is the historical site Hampi (railway station at Hospet). The main transport hub for south Goa is Margao (also known as Marmagao) which is called Madgoan by the railway.

    Take a train to Hampi or Madgoan but be aware that most trains leave early in the morning (e.g. to Hospet - Hampi at 7 am) so it’s good to stay somewhere close to the station. We found the best place was Kovolam Beach which has lots of guesthouses and restaurants and a nice beach, and it’s cheap.

    Some advice: Don't catch the state bus from Goa to Hampi - it's 10 hours of sheer hell.

    Cheap sight-seeing

    Posted by chinki 30 October 2006

    As with other states, the Goan state government runs cheap one-day sight seeing trips for about US$1.00. Well worth the time.
    Take a bus trip to north Goa or south Goa. Again, less than one dollar. Since public buses are crowded, go to a terminal and get a seat next to a window, so that one does not have to be put off by crowded passengers shoving.
