Hello, ye all riders!

I'm plannin on a road trip to gujarat nxt weekend, its a place called kosamba, i guess an hours drive from surat. Lemme tell u frnz, dis vil b my first eva road trip n m vry xcited n lukin fwd to it. I would like your advices and suggestions about d directions, place to halt ( i believe i wud require sum rest coz i cant drive 6hrs at a stretch..i do almost abt 1 n 1/2hrs continuous drive to office daily, although its not tiring, but 6hrs is a big thing fr a rookie like me. i'm currently referring fr directions frm google maps. Most of my journey wud be on NH8, i wanted to ask if there are any restrictions on bikers on the route that i'll b taking. Also any essentials, accessories other than helmet, jacket, gloves, water that one should carry on a trip.. All your inputs r appreciated.
Thanks a ton!
