Darjeeling Mail - উত্তরবঙ্গের ঐতিহ্য - Joydeep Roy

The present Dharwad VB with 545 dep from SBC can reach by Madgaon by 1400. 530 is too early in Benguluru weather being rainy cold and winter for 8 months except Feb to May which is summer and non season for tourists to Goa. The domestic tourists to Goa head to North Goa then to Madgoan or South Goa beaches and Madgaon to Panjim or Baga, Anjuna takes an hour. It is evident from the occupancy of VB and Tejas from Mumbai which 80% deboard and board at Thivim or Karmali. Moreover from Benguluru the traffic will only be on Friday and Sat and return on Sun. As the VB is being extended to Belgaum and trails conducted there is no chance of extention to Goa.
