This is not just a ride; it is a commitment to punctuality and comfort, making your Goa travel experience truly memorable.
Route Overview & Travel Experience: Thivim to Chodna
The journey from Thivim to Chodna covers a distance of approximately 28 kilometers, typically taking between 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on traffic conditions. The route primarily follows the scenic NH-66 (formerly NH-17) northward before diverging into the quieter, tree-lined village roads that lead into the interior of North Goa.
Key Landmarks & Route Details:
Your trip begins at the Thivim Railway Station, a major stop for Konkan Railway trains. As you head north, you will pass through the bustling town of Mapusa, where you can catch a glimpse of the famous Mapusa Friday Market if your timing aligns. Continuing past the Mapusa Municipal Market and heading towards the periphery of the Calangute-Arpora belt, the landscape shifts from urban to semi-rural. You will then turn off the main highway towards the serene areas of Saligao, Pilerne, and eventually the village of Chodna, which is nestled between the Mandovi River backwaters and the lush greenery of the interior. This route offers a unique blend of Goan life, from the commerce of Mapusa to the tranquil paddy fields and coconut groves that define the state's heartland.
Comfort & Convenience Over Public Transit:
While Goa has a network of KTC (Kadamba Transport Corporation) buses connecting Thivim to Mapusa and beyond, they are often crowded, infrequent, and require multiple changes to reach Chodna. Shared taxis and auto-rickshaws exist but come with unpredictable waiting times and uncomfortable shared spaces. In contrast, our Thivim to Chodna taxi service provides door-to-door, private transportation. You control the AC temperature, have space for your luggage, and can make a quick stop for a local snack or a photo of the passing scenery. Safety is paramount; our vehicles are GPS-tracked, and our drivers are vetted professionals who respect your time and privacy. For families with young children, senior citizens, or business travelers, the private car experience is simply non-negotiable for a relaxing journey.
Fixed Taxi Fares & Vehicle Options: No Hidden Costs
At Cab Goa, we believe in radical transparency. Our pricing for the Thivim to Chodna taxi fare is fixed and all-inclusive, meaning what you see is what you pay. There are no surge charges, no extra toll fees (this route has none), and no late-night surcharges. We offer two primary vehicle categories to suit your budget and group size.
1. Sedan (Swift Dzire / Etios / Similar): Starting at ₹1120
Perfect for solo travelers, couples, or small families of up to 3 passengers. This is our most popular option for the Thivim to Chodna route due to its fuel efficiency and nimble handling on Goan roads.

2. SUV/MUV (Ertiga / Similar): Starting at ₹1344
Ideal for larger groups of up to 6 passengers or families with extra luggage. The Ertiga provides extra legroom and a larger boot space, making it comfortable for longer trips or for those carrying sports equipment, shopping bags, or multiple suitcases. This option is also popular for small group tours exploring the nearby beaches later in the day.
