Of the remaining 2, one is crowded and the other is not. I'll confirm this with a couple of Ahmd locals and update you.
      @oldFox,
      thanks for the effort.. any progress on this?

        Last weekend while riding from Pune to Tarkarli, just before kolhapur had a collision (at full throttle) with a Cow who, I am not sure why decided to appear, suddenly out of the thick bushes on divider..
        cow is dead.. self and wife are recovering and Bike is at garage waiting for insurance papers..

        thanks to full riding gears, we have only some bruises on hand and back.. couple of days rest and we are feeling better..

        Due to non-availability of bike and our fitness level till diwali vacations, with heavy heart and hard luck on my back have to cancel/ postpone the trip..


        but this is not a full stop.. pune to delhi is be on card and will be done soon enough.

        thanks everyone for your support and route help.. And the information will be used in near future for sure..

        for the love of roads..

            Yeah it is safe, but riding with a pillion on bad patches may not be easy. You are your best judge. Carry a tubless puncture kit and cruise on safe speeds and you shall be fine.


            I am assuming you would take NH4 to reach mumbai...
            Proceed to Vashi > Take a right to Eastern Express higway at Mankhurd > At the end of the road you will have to take a right to be on Eastern Express road... Stick to it.
            After crossing a toll gate you will encounter a few flyovers (If my memory serves me right, they are 3) the second last flyover would be Cadburys flyover. After which you have to take a left to Ghodbunder Road.

            Keep going straight, (Traffic prone road - so try and time your journey appropriately) you will reach Ghodbunder Ghats... a few bad corners later you will be on NH8 (Fountain Hotel on right) proceed left wards and thats the route for you to take. A bit of bad patches uptill Manor. Goes better till surat

            Good roads beyond Maharashtra...

            Surat to vadodara 150 KMs

            Good Road - Try to reach Vadodra on Day 1 and halt here.. at max try to push your self to Ahmedabad as the ring road is tricky and traffic prone in the mornings/late evenings



            Try reach Udaipur/Ajmer on day 2



            Is your journey only limited to Jaipur? You have good amount of days in hand. Or do you need to go to Gurgaon for ferrying the bike back to pune?

            Assuming You are riding back to Pune as well:
            If I were you I would proceed for Udaipur, halt for night here (not much to see here), then proceed to Jaipur and halt a day there...
            (4 days gone)
            (Day 1 - halt at Ahemedabad\Vadodara)
            (Day 2 - Halt at Udaipur)
            (Day 3 - Halt at Jaipur)
            (Day 4 - Jaipur)
            (Day 5 - Leave for Jodhpur)
            (Day 6 - Jodhpur)
            (Day 7 - Leave for Jaisalmer)
            (Day 8 - Jaisalmer, spend night at Sam)
            (Day 9 - Mount Abu)
            Day 10 - Ahmedabad\Vadodra
            Day 11 - Mumbai\Pune

            Satyen@ - Thank you. We are planning to go on bike in Dec

              Mumbai bypass will be NH4 - Gorbunder road- out of Mumbai.

              --> Never been to mumbai on bike. would require detailed instructions on how to bypass mumbai traffic for surat.

              Since you would be using Ghodbunder Road to join NH8, going left wards from Fountain Hotel would lead you towards Mumbai.

              Once done with the small-ish "Ghats", you will approach NH8, to a Signal.
              Fountain Hotel is on the LEFT hand side.
              You would have to take a RIGHT from the signal and NOT LEFT and then straight on NH8 ...

              This would give you a better idea of the area ..

                              Yes Soumen,

                              This is the couple whom our whole biking group looks upto for such valiant efforts while riding. I still love to see them cornering on the ghats at full throttle

                              @Satyen: Did you helped the couple to cross Mumbai??

                                I couldnt... was a weekday so had office and hence I had asked the Mumbai chapter for pitching in... but no one could
