      I also stay in Nagpur, and was planning something similar,
      But i am planning to stay 1 week in Pune..... It will also be my first time,

      Night Driving, Avoid it, as it is the first time and Famous Indian truckers, it may call trouble, start early morning and reach a fixed destination till evening, will be the best way for first time IMO. I had gone to Jamb at 3AM , and truckers pose danger....

                        Hey Mayank,

                        Best of luck for your rides... Also make it a point not to ride at nights.
                        U can start your rides early in the mornings. Get the bike serviced well.

                        For bikes you can use neone of those, provided how comfortable you will be.

                        I Dunno about nagpur aurangabad ratnagiri so you will have to get opinion from others,
                        regarding pune/ lonavla i would suggest lonavla, has nice scenic surroundings.

                        In Mumbai u can see the Gatewy of India (Colaba), Worli Sea Face (Worli),
                        Nehru Planetorium (Worli), Juhu Beach (Juhu) u can get nice pani puris..,
                        Bandra Bandstand, more suggestions will pour in so jus be patient.

                        For Goa places to roam Calangute (the entire stretch till candolim and till taj well), Baga, Vagator, Panjim Church, Dona Paula (ahead of Panjim), Old Goa. If you want to go further deep in goa then u can visit Palolem beach which has become a latest hot spot for tourists.

                        Dats all the suggestions i have got in mind right now.
                        If nething more then will certailny post it here.



                        ratnagiri-goa 264km (best place to stay in less bucks ? we gonna stay 7days)
                        and also many of u have already gone to goa so pls places to go and also not to go

                        RETURN TO NAGPUR VIA SOLAPUR LATUR NANDED YAVATMAL.....939KM (WE ARE THINKING TO COVER THIS DISTANCE WITHIN 2-3 DAYS)WHAT U GUYS THINK 2 OR 3 DAYS.....

                        thanks[/QUOTE]

                            14 hrs flat was a feat

                            guys it is you first time you will be sitting on
                            bike for so many hours, i will suggest to keep taking breaks,
                            and decide how many kms to cover in a day,
                            spiderweb will guide us better on this...

                              Agreed

                              keep taking breaks + keep drinking lots of water, atleast every half an hour.
                              As temp on highways will be around 40*+C & will cause Dehydration. This is the most imp pointer for your journey.

                              Take a break around every 100 kms or 2 hrs max.

                              Wear proper gear, if you dont have, better buy from Pune or Mumbai as you'll be passing these cities on your way.

                              RIDE SAFE...
