Transitioning from the romantic lakes, royal palaces, and heritage havelis of Udaipur to the sun-kissed beaches, swaying palms, and vibrant coastal nightlife of Goa is one of India’s most sought-after holiday itineraries. While travelers frequently query for direct Udaipur to Goa trains and flights, planning this cross-country journey requires understanding key transit hubs: there are currently no direct non-stop trains connecting Udaipur directly to Goa, meaning rail travelers connect seamlessly via major junctions like Vadodara (BRC), Ratlam (RTM), or Mumbai (BDTS/CSMT) onto the picturesque Konkan Railway. Meanwhile, air travelers enjoy brisk 1-stop connecting flights that reach Goa’s beaches in just 3.5 to 4.5 hours.
Whether you are heading to North Goa’s vibrant beach hubs (Baga, Calangute, Anjuna) or South Goa’s peaceful luxury resorts (Colva, Benaulim, Palolem), this ultimate travel guide details connecting flight schedules, Konkan train options, intermediate junction timetables, ticket pricing, and airport selection.

How to Travel from Udaipur to Goa by Train (Connecting Routes)
Because there is no single direct train running from Udaipur City all the way to Goa, Indian Railways passengers utilize two highly dependable rail transit corridors:
Route 1: The Vadodara Junction (BRC) Interchange (Fastest & Most Popular)
Step 1 (Udaipur to Vadodara): Board Train 22902 (Udaipur City – Bandra Terminus SF Express) departing Udaipur at 20:50 (8:50 PM) on Wednesday, Friday, or Sunday. It reaches Vadodara Junction (BRC) at 07:25 AM the next morning.

When planning this multi-state journey, travelers frequently search for specific intermediate station connections. Here are the primary en-route railway junctions and their roles in your journey:
1. Udaipur to Vadodara & Surat Connection for Goa Trains
Vadodara (BRC) and Surat (ST) are the primary transition junctions where the North-Western Railway lines intersect with the heavy Western-to-Southern coastal rail trunk:
Udaipur to Vadodara: Train 22902 departs Udaipur at 20:50 PM → Arrives Vadodara at 07:25 AM (10h 35m • 553 km).
Vadodara to Goa: Over 8 weekly superfast trains connect Vadodara to Thivim and Madgaon.
2. Udaipur to Ratlam Transfer Guide
Ratlam Junction (RTM) is the divisional junction connecting Western Madhya Pradesh to the main Delhi-Mumbai-Konkan corridor:
Ratlam to Goa: Connect directly to long-distance Kerala/Goa-bound superfast expresses like Maru Sagar Express (12978) or NZM TVC SF Express.
3. Udaipur to Thivim (THVM) Train Details (North Goa Beaches Gateway)
If your hotel or villa is booked in North Goa (Calangute, Candolim, Baga, Morjim, Anjuna, Vagator):
Deboard at Thivim Station (THVM): Most Konkan trains heading towards Madgaon halt at Thivim ~45 minutes before reaching Madgaon. Deboarding at Thivim saves you a ₹1,200 taxi fare and 1.5 hours of road transit.
4. Udaipur to Madgaon (MAO) Train Details (South Goa & Central Hub)
Madgaon Junction is Goa’s largest and most comprehensive railway terminus with round-the-clock prepaid taxi booths, local bus stands, bike rentals, and direct highway access to Colva, Benaulim, and Palolem beaches.
Choose Flights When: You have a limited 3-to-5 day vacation window. A morning 1-stop flight from Udaipur via Mumbai lands in Goa by 12:15 PM, giving you a full afternoon on the beach on your very first day.
Choose Train When: You are traveling on a backpacker budget, travelling with heavy luggage, or traveling as a large family group wanting to experience the lush greenery, tunnels, and waterfalls of the Konkan Railway during monsoons and winter.
Advance Booking Tip: Goa is India’s top beach holiday destination; winter peak season (November to February) experiences heavy booking rushes. Reserve flight seats and IRCTC tatkal/general quotas 30 to 60 days in advance via irctc.co.in or airline portals.
