Bangalore to Gwalior Route query

[Pulkitv]

Hi all 

 

I am going to travel (by own car) from Bangalore to Gwalior, starting on 29th August. Planning to take NH44 during the entire stretch. As I would be the only driver and do not want to drive in dark, we would be having an overnight halt in Hyderabad and then in Nagpur. I do have few questions and I would appreciate if the forum members can help me out

 

1) How's the stretch from Hyderabad to Nagpur? If I am keeping a steady speed of 80-100kmph, how much time it should take to reach Nagpur? (with half an hour break in between?

2) Any one has any idea about the stretch from Nagpur to Gwalior? (This is the longest one (700+kms))

3) Most important question - Any suggestion for good eateries along the highway on BLR-HYD, HYD-NGP and NGP-GWL stretch? We would be carrying our own food, but need this information primarily for a stop to relax and use the lavatories

4) Any other suggestion?

 

Lastly, if anyone else is going through this route at around the same date, let me know  a convoy is always better!

Avoid stopover in Hyderabad. 
If you start early in the morning from Bangalore, you can comfortably complete Bangalore to Nagpur without any major issues. 
 

Hyderabad to Nagpur is excellent, except for the few bad patches after crossing Adilabad.

Very limited food options on this route. If possible carry food and water.

This section is going to be tough,  I have done this route in 2018. 
There are some really bad sections on this route. 

Key is to start early morning from Nagpur.

Bangalore to Hyderabad has plenty of options. No need to worry on this section
Hyderabad to Adilabad has decent dhabas, but don't expect luxury. Rely on fuel pumps, would suggest Relaince.

Adilabad to Nagpur has very limited options.

If you are planning a night drive, sections from Bangalore to Nagpur are safe. 
Nagpur to Gwalior, we did during nigh time, felt unsafe with very limited facilities.

Plan to start early morning from Nagpur.

It seems to be a long stretch of 1000 kms, and me being the only driver, not comfortable in driving when its dark. Any specific reason to avoid overnight stay in Hyderabad? I am planning to book a good 5 star hotel to avoid covid safety issues

 

Plus, I would be driving my Nexon with a heavy load of luggage, so need to consider the car dynamics as well.

Not any particular reason, just to decrease the no contact policy.

Hope you have completed the travel safely. I would like to know the road conditions (specially stretch from Nagpur to Gwalior). I am planning to travel with family. How safe is to travel?

If you start early in the morning, you can do it in a single day.
Or you can plan to stay at sagar.

Lot of stray animals on the road, better to avoid night drive.
