    Final day in Panaji — intentional recovery built into the schedule — the places today are calming, not draining.

Getting to Panaji

Usually the biggest line in the budget — and the one the estimate above leaves out.

Airport → Panaji

cab · 45m

₹700

1 way / person

Cheapest listed route is Airport → Panaji by cab. Return for two works out to about ₹2,800 — so a whole trip lands near ₹6,910 for two, travel included.

Fares are typical one-way estimates per person from Panaji's common gateways, not live prices — book early and expect festival months to run higher.
