Route Overview & Travel Experience: From Thivim Junction to Pilar Hillock
The journey from Thivim Railway Station to Pilar covers a distance of approximately 39 kilometers and typically takes between 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on traffic conditions, particularly near the Porvorim toll plaza and the Ribandar causeway.

You will pass through the lush green landscapes of Pomburpa and the serene banks of the Mandovi River near Penha de França. The drive is visually stimulating, offering glimpses of Goan village life, coconut groves, and colonial-era churches. As you approach Pilar, you will ascend a gentle hillock leading to the famous Pilar Monastery and Seminary, a landmark visible from miles away. This route is not just a transfer; it is a scenic introduction to the cultural richness of Goa. With Cab Goa, you avoid the physical exertion of dragging luggage through crowded bus stands, ensuring you arrive at your destination relaxed and refreshed.
