Let me know where exactly you are thinking of taking NH76?

You need to cover Jaipur - Delhi also which is in complete mess nowadays. Plan in such a way that you cover that in daylight else you see traffic jam ranging from 4-10km long and no I'm not joking. This stretch of 250km should take around 4.5hrs. I took around 6hours in night just 15days back.

For 5100 ideal drain period is 2000km without any performance drop but you can easily stretch upto 2500km.

Edit: Got it. While you are coming from Ahmedabad you will automatically take the NH76 outside Udaipur and not NH8.

Google Map shows NH8 going via Jaypur..

Any possible detour to save time ??

Or will the NH8 through jaypur will be the fastest possible route ??

Same goes for Delhi also as is there any faster way to get in to NH2 from NH8 without entering the Delhi city limit ??

Sadly there is none. You have to cross that stretch and hence I suggested that the best will be to cover it in daylight. Fatality rates are also increasing in that stretch coz of long traffic jams.

There is one but route is confusing and neither quick. Going through Delhi is a much better option and you should exit Delhi in 45mins-1hr. Once you enter Delhi limits you will be welcomed with big boards with proper directions. Just before airport don't take the flyover instead take a right turn under it for Mahipalpur/Mehrauli/Vasant Kunj. Just go straight on this road till you reach Badarpur which is the exit for Delhi. This stretch is around 30kms.

What about Mumbai city limit bypass to get in to NH8 from NH4 ???

also Pune ?? as I think certain places two wheeler is not allowed in GQ stretch between Pune and Mumbai ????

@Hunky - Download this XLS, you'll not need anything more - http://hvkumar.googlegroups.com/web/GQ-6D.xls?pli=1

Mumbai is confusing. If you are new then you will loose time so its better that you take help from some xBhpian.

Pune is easy as the highway completely bypasses the city.

Yes two wheelers are not allowed on Mumbai - Pune expressway but the old highway (NH-4) is also 4 laned and is quick so don't worry about that. After Khandala there is a section where you will enter expressway as there is no other way, you will be on expressway for around 10km and leave the expressway for Khopoli which comes immediately after a tunnel crossing on left.

Dont know much about the pune city but after you leave pune take the old mumbai pune highway.......conditions are good you can easily cruise at 90+ speeds.....after lonavala you can enter the mumbai pune expressway....which sadly you will have to leave at the khopoli exit.....then after you can again cruise at 90+ speeds.........

CAUTION:beware of some villages and crossings in between...

then you can ride till panvel........from there take the panvel bypass till kalamboli......at the circle take the round and you will be soon on a road to thane crossing shilphata-mumbra-kausa......the road is total offroading.....then from thane taking the ghodbunder road to NH8....and HOLA!!! you have bypassed mumbai traffic!!!!!
(speeds will only be a concern in thane city as they have surprise checks enroute)

I too have the same question ??? Whats the current national record for the entire GQ and timings please. Good luck

well, dont go for google maps, try mapmyndia instead.

while you ride on the NH8 towards Delhi, there would be a Y intersection. To your left is Udaipur, go straight to reach th eNH8 and turn right to hop on to NH76 and NH79. For the road conditions, check out my IBA SS run

Courageous effort due.. my best wishes for you.

After such a nice thread and lots of suggestion and wishes, I am damn sure you can achieve it.

Just wanted to put few points based on my experience of my recent trip from blore- jaipur.

1) blore -pune, don't even ask where to go, its just too smooth and too simple, just maintain you avg speed.

2) Crossing pune is a cakewalk as the bypass will allow you to cross the city without any difficulty.

3) Now when it comes to Express highway, definitely take Old highway NH4, roads are excellent and you can reach panvel with good avg speed, Here for a stretch of around 30 Km(hope i am not wrong here) you have to come on expressway, just drive carefully on that as i found that with bike you feel slippery there.

4) once you enter mumbai city, make sure you don't come on express highway and cross the city via mumbra,thane, ghodbundhar route which is very confusing at some places, so need some guidance, definitely don't trust google map for crossing mumbai. It took me 3+ hours and lots of confusion in crossing mumbai city, so better plan for it.

5) I am not sure whether evereybody faced the same situation or not but when i came on Mumbai - Surat highway, i found a really long traffic jam(may be due to weekend or diwali rush) stretching upto 4-6Kms which i used to find only on Jaipur-Delhi route at nights specially.

6) Once you take NH8 please follow it till Ahemdabad completely, don't take any SH in Gujrat. In my journey i did this mistake, i took a SH from vasad to reach rajasthan border directly without going to ahemdabad, but that was the worst possible route i faced in whole journey, so better avoid any SH.

7) Once you enter rajasthan, try to cross/start from udaipur in morning say arnd 7-8am, by doing so, you can make sure that you will cross whole rajasthan in day and will enter delhi before evening. with this plan you can avoid the traffic jam in between jaipur-delhi and reach delhi with no hurdle.

Udaipur- jaipur (8am-2pm)
Jaipur- Delhi(2pm-6pm)

**Traffic jam in jaipur-delhi route happens mostly either early morning or in night.

8) for rajasthan you better take udaipur-chittorgarh-ajmer-kishangarh-jaipur route, definitely the best roads i found in my journey, you won't find any rush here and you can even maintain an avg speed of 90+ here.

Hope all of that helps, my best wishes for you trip.

Question..

What is the possibly for hitting fog in Delhi - Kolkata route in night hours on month of February ???

As no matter which ever way I do it, I find I am in need to be over this route in night hours.. So big question mark for North India FOG

Any expert suggestion ??

GQ!!! Hmmm so finally you've decided to go for it. Subscribing to your thread.

What an Irony !!!

I remember 4 years, may be ??

• You were the one who asked me to read about xBHP
• You were the one who said, "riding bikes in city doesn't make you a rider" and for that statement only I ended up in going to NH6 for the very first time(that was by mistake by the way, wanted to go to NH2 but went in to NH6)
• I still remember, you said once to me in chandi, "this is the way as it is, I will have to come for you when you buy a bike as you are here for me for PC"
• I still remember the ride I had with you in Rajarhat bypass as pillion of your P180 from Kausthav's place to your home

and today u subscribing to mine !!!!

I am honored !!!

wow...

I am somehow not convinced of two riders on one Motorcycle.

The whole dynamics of a Motorcycle change and it shall be a pain to ride hard if you are looking for a quick wrap.

Doc hopes to do the GQ next time around in 100 hours. His more than 10 hours were wasted due to few unsuspecting moments.

+1

even I'm not in the favor of two on a bike... And as a matter of fact, you would also be carrying a backpack with some tools and other stuff.

Well even I had a backpack on, however my case was different. The bag was actually resting on the rear seat of the bike. But in your case, you will not be able allow the bag to rest anywhere except your back...and that would be an arrrgggghhhh moment once your shoulders start paining
