It takes about 90 minutes by taxi, depending on traffic.
By Air
If you’re flying to Goa you will arrive at Dabolim international airport. We recommend flying direct into Goa if possible to avoid the sometimes arduous process of transferring from International to Domestic Terminal in Delhi or Mumbai. If you’re in the UK, Trailfinders are very helpful with arranging flights and Visas.
We are happy to offer advice for travel into Goa; just ask.
Booking a taxi
Nalanda is quite remote & not visible from the road so not all taxi drivers are able to find it. To avoid problems, please arrange with Nalanda for a taxi to pick you up at the airport. The fee is approximately 2000 INR (there is an ATM at the airport).
