On my last day in Arambol, I met some people who live there for three to six months each winter. The main season in Arambol is December through February, but there are some people there from October to March. The rest of the year it is unbearably hot and humid, so the town is just about empty. There is quite a social network in town among the longer term residents...it is quite amazing. In the motorcycle spirit of the town, in the late afternoon I hired a motorcycle taxi to take to the train station for my overnight train to Mumbai. It was a nice ride on the motorcycle to a small town train station at Pernem, about 25 miles from Arambol. The train was a bit late arriving at Pernem, but it made it to Mumbai on schedule.
