By city bus
Panaji is the natural starting point. Kadamba / city bus services run toward Dona Paula Circle; KTCL publishes Panaji electric-bus information and a route search. Confirm the current service, boarding stop and final approach before you travel.
A historic route announcement is not a timetable. Check KTCL’s current Panaji–Dona Paula service and the last return timing.
By taxi or auto-rickshaw
Taxis and auto-rickshaws are good for door-to-door travel from Panaji, Miramar or nearby accommodation. During peak sunset hours, arrange pickup away from the most congested jetty approach if traffic officers restrict access.
The final approach
From Dona Paula Circle, the viewpoint and jetty are reached on foot. Use the checked map pin (15.4506125, 73.8029961) rather than Dona Paula Circle when planning the last stretch, and allow extra time for access checks and crowds.
