Modes of traveling Considered :
Flight-felt would live expensive
Car-too long a journeying as well as needs breaks inwards between.Also amongst two kids , felt its hard to proceed them engaged throughout.While traveling amongst kids i prefer nighttime journeying .
Train- didn't instruct ticket.Disappointed .Had heard Traveling to Goa from Bangalore via prepare is an awesome sense every bit the route was really scenic ,You transcend through few lovely tunnels,and most importantly, you lot instruct to come across the Dudhsagar waterfalls from the train.
