Arpora Beach Direction Route

How to Reach Mapusa, India

Buses, motorcycles, taxis, auto-rickshaws and motorcycle taxis are freely available at Mapusa for getting to the beaches. Renting a motorcycle at one of the beaches may be cheaper than at Mapusa's main square, but make sure you have a valid driver's license, especially on market day on Friday, when the police set up roadblocks and check licenses frequently. It takes about 20 minutes to get to Panjim, Calangute, Baga or Anjuna by motorcycle taxi and 30 minutes by bus. An autorickshaw for the same distance will charge about Rs 75 and a taxi Rs 100. A shared taxi is an economical option.
