OH WEATHER!
Over the past two days, torrential rains have lashed Goa and neighbouring regions, wreaking havoc and disrupting essential services.

BREAKING ALERT!
In response to waterlogging and landslides along the rail routes, the Konkan Railways too cancelled and rescheduled trains heading to and leaving from Goa, leaving passengers stranded.
But don't let rain-related train disruptions put a break on your Goa plans. You could consider hitting the road which is one of the budget-friendly alternatives.
If you're travelling to Goa on a shoestring budget and your rail option is out of reach, maybe consider embarking on a road journey via budget-friendly bus services.

SHARED CAR RIDES
If you can find enough people, another option you might want to consider is carpooling or hired taxis, which can be cost-effective because you can negotiate the fare.

If already in Goa, maybe consider extending your sojourn. Look for budget-friendly accommodation options, such as hostels, guesthouses or homestays to suit your budget.
