Very few food joints, carry some snacks in the car for backup.

@Ranger - thank you for your suggestion, your blog is amazing..

 

I hope I will be able to do it one day  . I see that you have driven a Duster,

I will be riding the same for our trip and this is my first road trip at this scale. I have a basic question, my car is RXS 85 PS with stock head lamp and fog lamp. I don't intend to drive at night, will this light be sufficient for the journey? 

 

Thank you for your guidance.

Actually Duster has much better lighting compared to other cars (stock).
We did few night drives, no problem faced with lighting.

Do share the pictures of Chilka lake, we missed it during our drive, due to time constraint.

Thanks @Ranger .... I shall certainly share photographs of Chilka lake

Due to some urgency, I need to go Kolkata by Car in July 2020. My car is Mahindra KUV 100 Petrol. I planned to start very early morning at Hyderabad and take overnight halt at Visakhapattnam and next day early morning I shall start and reach Kolkata by night of the same day. Whether my plan is ok or needs any change, kindly suggest.
