By Air:<\/strong> Goa\u2019s Dabolim Airport handles both domestic and international flights. Terminal 1 handles all domestic flights coming into Goa from major Indian cities such as Mumbai, Pune, New Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Lucknow, Kolkata and Indore. All Indian carriers have regular flights operating to Goa. Once you get out of the airport, you can hire a taxi or arrange for a pick up to your destination. The airport is around 26 km from Panaji.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. By Rail:<\/strong>\u00a0There are two main train stations in Goa, Madgaon and Vasco-da-Gama. From New Delhi, you can catch the Goa Express to Vasco-da-Gama, and from Mumbai, you can take the Matsyagandha Express or the Konkan Kanya Express, which will drop you at Madgaon. Goa enjoys extensive rail connectivity with the rest of the country. The route is a soothing journey that takes you through some of the most beautiful landscapes of the Western Ghats.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. By Road:<\/strong>\u00a0Two major highways take you into Goa. If you\u2019re travelling to Goa from Mumbai or Bengaluru, you will have to follow the NH 4. It is the most preferred way into Goa as it is wide and well-maintained. The NH 17 is the shortest route from Mangalore. The drive to Goa is a scenic route, especially during the monsoon. You can also catch a bus from Mumbai, Pune or Bengaluru. The Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) and Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) run regular buses to Goa.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sotc.in\/tourism\/goa-tourism\/how-to-reach-goa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sotc.in<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Pro Tip: Renting a car or scooter locally allows for seamless travel between festival venues and exploring Goa\u2019s scenic beauty.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n","artist_description":"IIMW 2025 showcases an exhilarating line-up of artists from India and around the globe, featuring captivating performances by Hamza Rahimtula, Jatayu, Kimyan Law, Madboy\/Mink, Mother's Cake, Naaz, Tipriti Kharbangar, Talvin Singh, Tsumyoki, Rosa Cecilia, Tracy De Sa, Stalvart John, and many more.
