How long does it take to drive from Mumbai to Goa?

Question

Also, which part of Goa is the best to stay?

Answer 1

It takes 11 hours and 50 minutes by private vehicle (car, jeep, mini-van, etc) to reach Panaji (Goa) from Mumbai. The distance between Mumbai and Goa is exactly 579.1 kms by road.

There are 3 tolling stations and 5 ghats along this route

Thane Creek Bridge Rs 15
Mahad Rs 5
Kharpada Rs 10
Total Toll Rs 30

The ghats you will cross are:
Kashedi Ghat between Poladpur and Kashedi,
Baste Ghat after Khed,
Parshram Ghat between Khed and Chiplun,
Nivli Ghat between Sangameshwar and Nivli,
Vanked Ghat between Lanja and Rajapur,
and Insuli Ghat between Savantvadi and Banda.

Please exercise the following Caution while driving on this route!
Slow-moving rickshaws and bullock carts are aplenty near villages and towns. Watch out for them.
Keep loose change for toll handy.
There are numerous Accident Spot signs on the road. Take them seriously.
Bridges over rivers have speedbreakers before and after them — watch out for oncoming traffic braking hard for the speedbreakers.

The best place to stay in goa is Panaji, of course. It is well connected to all tourist spots and beaches in Goa by road. If you find the hotel accomodation rates a litlle expensive over there, you can always opt to stay at Margao (Madgaon) as another option

I hope this information will suffice
