Re: Updates on Road Condition: Maharashtra

Numerous diversions for the never ending flyovers that are being built are all in a state of disrepair and still plague the road from Pune to Wai after which things get a wee bit better till Satara. On the return leg, expect to encounter diversions even a little past Satara as well

Re: Updates on Road Condition: Maharashtra

Looking for information about road conditions from Mahableshwar - Pratapgad - Poladpur. Post monsoon is the road smooth? Has it been relaid with fresh tarmac or still in a state of disrepair?

Re: Updates on Road Condition: Maharashtra

Hi Akshay,
I had gone to Mahabaleshwar - Pratapgad last weekend via Pune - Bangalore highway.
Mahabaleshwar to Pratapgad highway is very bad in shape and is difficult to drive due to potholes and the road is covered with a metal bed. Mine & my friends bike were constantly skidding mainly because of small metal stones.
Thanks
Mathew

Mumbai- Nasik-Yeola-Vaijpur-Aurangabad-Jalna-Sindkhed Raja( via deaulgaon right turn)-Mehkar-Karanja-Amravati

can anyone update about road conditions, also i was thinking is it good to go from jalna via chikli akola amravti road
thanks

Hi All,

I am also looking for road conditions until Multai (M.P.). I am planning to go from Thane to Multai on 23rd -24th Dec and Return on 27th-28th Dec. Google Maps shows following 2 routes.
Route 1 (800 KM) -: Thane, Nashik, Dhule, Sendhwa, Khargone, Khandwa, Betul, Multai.
Route 2 (770 KM) -: Thane, Sinnar, Kopargaon, Aurangabad, Jalna, Mehkar, Karanja, Amravati, Warud, Multai.

Which route will be better for me? I have a Honda Unicorn 160 and this is my first Long road trip. I have ridden up to only 200 Km in a day so far.
Also, suggest on road side dhaba, Petrol Bunks, any decent place to stay etc on both routes.
I am inclined towards 2nd route due to presence of small towns/villages en-route. Will there be problem if I have to ride at night on this route.
I am expecting to ride with average speed of 50-60 KM with short breaks for nature's call and food etc. Does this look doable on this route in 1 or 1.5 Days?

Any special prep for Bike Suggested (other than engine oil change)? Any and all suggestions are welcome.

via dhule ,road is narrow and lots of truck.Thane to Yeola you will get 4 lane road and again from aurangabad to jalna same. About night driving i dont think its a problem till jalna travel anytime , after jalna also should not be a problem but the road is silent not much traffic occasionally 1 or 2 trucks ,so i l suggest plan ur trip from jalna towards karanja in early morning or day time .

Thank you very much for quick reply
Have you traveled by Bike (if yes which one) or was it Car?
I am thinking to take a break in Akola most likely as I am not sure I will be able to cover full 800 Km in a single day.
Does Thane to Akola look doable in one day (565 to 585 KM depending on route)? In about 12 Hours of riding with 2 hrs of multiple short breaks.
Any other suggestions of road side dhaba/food break etc.

It was a car and you will be able to do it in a day comfortably as road i suggested is less traffic you will cover distance fast.
Why are you going Akola?? from Akola road is totally different, i thought u were going from amravti-karanja-mehkar-jalna-aurangabad-yeola-nashik-thane route?
if u add akola then route changes.

Actually, I am not sure if I will be able to go to Multai (800 KM) in one day that's why wanted to go until Akola (580 KM) and then next day from Akola to Multai (220 Km). If I go on the Amravati Road then I will have to halt either in Aurangabad or in Amravati. Aurangabad (350 KM) seems too near and Amravati (700 KM) seems too far.

Is there any other option to halt for night if I go on the Mahekar- Karanja- Amravati Route?

If you think that I can cover from Thane to Amravati in a day in my Unicorn 160 then I can stay in Amravati. In this case earliest what time do you suggest me to leave from Thane? As you said already I don't want to ride in dark (I only have stock headlights).

Sorry for bothering too much and Thanks once again.

Re: Updates on Road Condition: Maharashtra

If riding from Shirdi to Pune via Ahmednagar, do not take the "bypass" road for which signboard is put up just before entering Ahmednagar. This bypass is pure off-roading for 20 km and filled with dust and trucks. Instead go through Ahmednagar city and join the highway to Pune.

True....single lane road with hell lot of trucks and heavy duty vehicles,dificult to overtake.I had take that route once in my home ride to aurangabad.After that never taken that bypass route.
