Hi guys,

I need information on the golden quadrilateral. How much is it complete?
Where are the bad patches still worked upon.

Has any one done this ride. Time it takes, itinerary, any log if any one has.
Can share some resources.

Help me out.

Thanks.

Akash

The patch from surat to vadodra on the Mumbai - Ahemedabad stretch is still not complete. Itz an approx 100 km strech with only one side of the GQ operative thtz 3 lanes.

We had a bad time in our kutch trip on this strech. The problem is there are too many diversions all make u sway zig zag zig zag. Very dangerours on a bike & night.

I would reccomend nyone travelling frm here to take the inner road from ankeleshwar. Itz saves 10km journey & 20kms of pain. The roads are good & there is an century old bridge over narmada enroute.

Bad stretch at Orissa border. Bad stretches between Haveri and Chitradurga on way to Bangalore.
I guess even the Delhi-Kolkata route aint up and running fully

No he's speaking about the non-existent roads (Supposedly NH!) at the WB-OR border.

^^^Are you sure it is the WB-OR border and not the AP-OR border?

The NHAI site says that the strech from Ichahapuram to Ganjam is under construction.

^^ Both actually!!!

But from what I have heard WB-OR border is totally screwed, but the AP-OR border atleast has roads. I have personally ridden on some parts where the GQ roads go absent off the AP-OR border, and they are pretty much OK. Just need to lookout for the odd pothole here and there. But nearing the AP border is a Naxalite infested area and one needs to be cautious!!!

Has anyone done the entire circuit? At one go or in parts. Or any trip photos if some one can share on this routes.
