Hi

Getting a train to goa is relatively cheap (around £12) but takes quite a long time and there is only one a day. Flying is a better option depending upon your budget...it will cost around £50 and there are around 6 flights a day with various airlines. Air India are pretty good, check out their website for fares etc. Its certainly a safer option as a girl travelling alone.

Enjoy your journey

hey

goa is well connected with mumbai by bus , trains and flights...u can get a sleeper class ticket in a train for around 7 dollars and ac compartment for 15 dollars. it takes around 12 hrs by train or bus ...There are at least 5-7 daily trains between the two cities...
for a quicker journey u can take the plane which takes not more than 45 mins...
there is a good bus service between the cities too..

for more information on the trains you can check out the the indian railway site

Hey, what date will you be travelling? I am also a lone female traveller planning on going to Goa in December. I want to catch the train from Mumbia rather than fly as its part of the Indian experience but am also afraid of doing this alone. If you would consider hooking up in Mumbia to travel to Goa together - contact me.
