In the resort city, Kandolim can be reached by several ways - for example, from Dubolim Airport by taxi, or from the nearest railway stations, of which one is in Tyvim and one more in Margao. Behind both can be reached by city bus or again on a taxi. Also, a very unusual way can be a journey into which you can go from the beach in the village of Anjuna in Kandolim on a motor boat.
In the Indian state of Goa, there is one Dabolim International International Airport, which consists of two terminals. That is exactly from these terminals and is international, since the main purpose of Dabolim is to maintain tourists. But, probably, not all tourists know that Goa's air gates in India have the status of a military facility. This airport serves both regular flights and seasonal charters. From Moscow to Dabolima, you can reach the aircraft at once several airlines, including Aeroflot, and charter flights fly from Novosibirsk and Krasnoyarsk here, and another airline "Russia" flying to the tourist season flights from St. Petersburg.
Geographically dubolim is located 45 kilometers from the resort of Kandolim. It can be said that in Highway "Panwell-Kochi" can be reached in about 1 hour. As soon as you leave Dabolim Airport (from the hall for baggage) all tourists immediately meet two types of taxi, and both of them have an announced trial. The difference between them is the next - black and yellow taxis are under the leadership of the Indian government, and on white taxis drivers work, who have accreditation of the Goa Travel Department.
However, the price of a trip from the airport to Kandolim, that one taxi is exactly the same. If the machine without air conditioning, then you will have to lay out about $ 15 or 945 rupees. Well, the car with air conditioning is just more expensive - 16 dollars or 1080 rupees. Direct at the airport are two racks for paying a taxi service and also two more outside the airport terminal. Here you will write a score that you directly pay for taxi driver after you arrive in Kandolim. You can safely save if you will get acquainted with someone with someone and right at the rack, make a joint order for two, on three or even four people.
The closest to the Kandolim railway station is located in the settlement, which is called Tivim, mainly here come on Mumbai trains. Well, from the railway station by taxi to Kandolim, you can take about 30 minutes, since the distance is approximately 11 kilometers. You can agree with a taxi driver about the price on the spot, only note that the average cost of the trip is approximately $ 9 or 600 rupees.
The second railway station is located 44 kilometers from Kandolim in another city, which is called Margao.

Both from Mumbai and from Bangalore in Kandolim can be reached on regular regular buses. Just need to make a transplant to Panja or in Mapus. For a ticket one way, you will need to post from 9 to 23 dollars or from 600 to 1500 rupees, and the price depends on the quality of the trip. The road on average takes from 9 to 14 hours. From the bus stations, Panja and Mapusa in Kandolim, the most ordinary city buses are running, which are actually mainly moving along the north of Goa.
On the windshield of these buses, you will see the final station in which they are sent. Just keep in mind that usually inscriptions are made in Marathi. As a rule, spectacles-climbing loudly shout destinations of this bus and its key stops. It is not very comfortable to go to such a bus, but it's very cheap - about 10 rupees. Tickets are not sold in advance, it will be necessary to pay the cordant itself directly in cash. There is no clear schedule for which such city buses is moving, and there is still worth considering that after 7 pm, they usually stop their work. In this case, although of course it will be more expensive, it is better to use a taxi service.
Another option to get to Kandolim is a car, but this is if you are traveling from other Indian states in Goa. Only you should prepare for very extreme driving without any rules and to very unexpected situations arising on the roads, as well as to paid tracks and, of course, to off-road. From Mumbai, the distance to the Kandolim on the NH4 highway is an average of 568 kilometers, so the time you will spend on the way will be about ten and a half hours.
The road here is wide - with four-band movement, but there are unpleasant height differences. And some parts of the road are paid, but the reward will be a journey through the "Diamond Road" because this path is incredibly picturesque. The route passes through Western gates, and it is believed that each Indian at least once in life should overcome this path on a motorcycle or on a car.
Well, one more option - from the coast of the village of Anjuna, for example, on a boat boat, you can get to the resort of Kandolim for only $ 8 or 500 rupees per person. Usually the host motor, which is designed for 10-12 people, waiting for the boat filling completely and then goes down. Usually, all passengers dress rescue vests, since such a way of movement on Goa is not organized by public transport, and already negotiate the details such an extreme trip accounts for the owner of the boat.
