• From Mumbai: take 22229, which reaches Madgaon (MAO) at 13:10, and come back on 22230 at 14:40. That leaves 1 h 30 min at Goa.

Both trains must run on the same day, so check each train’s day off. A late arrival eats into the time you have, so leave a buffer. The same-day return planner checks this for any pair of stations.
