Planning Bangalore to Goa by bus
On the road
NH48 is four-lane to Hubli and Dharwad, and the bus then crosses the Western Ghats into Goa. It is a long day, so we start at 5 am, drive in daylight with proper meal breaks, and the driver rests at the hotel between the two driving days. We do not plan overnight driving with the same driver.
Suggested plan
- Day 1: leave at 5 am, reach Goa by evening
- Day 2: North Goa — Fort Aguada, Calangute, Baga and Anjuna
- Day 3: Old Goa churches, Panjim, Fontainhas and a Mandovi river cruise
- Day 4: South Goa beaches such as Colva, or leave early for Bangalore
- Day 5 (5-day trip): drive back
Places to see in and around Goa
- Basilica of Bom Jesus and Se Cathedral, Old Goa
- Fort Aguada
- Calangute, Baga and Anjuna beaches
- Fontainhas, Panjim
- Dudhsagar falls (seasonal, by jeep)
- Colva and Palolem in South Goa
Bus tips for Goa
Hotels around Calangute and Baga often have little coach parking, so the bus drops the group at the door and parks nearby. Dudhsagar falls is reached only by forest-department jeeps from Collem. Goa charges a permit for Karnataka tourist vehicles, paid at actuals.
Which bus suits your group
For 18 to 25 people, the mini bus is the cheapest way to travel together. Office teams and large families of 30 to 35 usually take the 32–35 seater. For school trips, associations and wedding parties of 40 to 50, a single 40 or 50 seater keeps everyone together and works out cheaper per head than two smaller vehicles.
Per person, a full 50 seater to Goa costs about ₹1,408 for the 4-day trip, against about ₹1,725 each in a full mini bus. For groups under 17, a tempo traveller is usually the better choice.
What the fare includes
Every fare on this page is for the whole bus, not per seat. It includes the AC bus, an experienced driver, diesel and the driver's daily allowance (bata), which also covers his food and night stay. You never pay for the driver's room separately.
| Included | Paid at actuals |
|---|---|
| Bus, diesel and driver | Toll charges |
| Driver bata for every day | Parking fees |
| Pickup and drop at your address in Bangalore | State permits outside Karnataka |
| Help on WhatsApp through the trip | Entry tickets, guides and jeeps |
Outstation fares are worked out the same way as the price on our search: kilometres × the rate per km, plus bata per day. We bill a minimum of 250 km a day, so a short trip spread over several days costs at least that much per day.
