10 days
Mumbai to Goa, down the coast
The Konkan coast road, the part most travellers fly over.
All journeys
Most people fly from Mumbai to Goa.
By road along the coast it becomes a week to remember: fishing villages, the sea fort of Murud-Janjira, the hill station of Mahabaleshwar, and the beach temple at Ganpatipule. Goa gets the last days, enough for Old Goa and Panjim.
