HYDERABAD TO AHMEDABAD BY CAR IN APRIL 2022

[BORNDRIVER]

Friends I am planning for a ROAD TRIP from HYDERABAD to AHMEDABAD by CAR with family in APRIL-2022. 

I a planning to take the route HYDERABAD-TULJAPUR-OSMANABAD-BEED-AURNAGABAD-DHULE-NANDURBAR-VADODARA-AHMEDABAD. 

I am aware of the road condition till BEED as per earlier SHIRDI TRIP .

However I am not aware if NH-52 is completed  from BEED till AURANGAD and also not sure  how is  this NH-52  from AURANGABAD to DHULE . However I expect that this NH-52 should be very good from BEED to AURANGABAD till DHULE because in 2018,2019,2022 the 4 lane works were in full swing in NH-52.  . If anyone has recently travelled in this stretch, Kindly do let me know.

If anyone has done the stretch from DHULE to NANDURBAR to BARODA ..Please let me know . I am not at all aware of the road condition.  I expect from BARODA to AHEMEDABAD should be fine .

 

I  plan to do a night halt in DHULE  in HOTEL CHARANDEEP REGENCY . As per Google . Seems to be a decent hotel for night stay in  DHULE . Next day morning planning to travel to Ahmedabad. 

 

I looked at couple of earlier threads in this forum but does not give much idea about road condition . Anyway I am completely open to follow any other route if they are good other than my planned one. Kindly suggest me if there is other good alternate route from HYDERABAD to AHEMEDABAD.

Friends no suggestion for the above trip .....😀😀...Seems no one is interested to drive from Hyderabad to Ahmedabad....😀😀......Just joking.

 

I am all set to start my travel from HYDERABAD to AHMEDABAD .  It will be all together a 8 days travel . Start will be on 17th May and will return to Hyderabad on 24th May.  The total estimation is around 3400 km. I will be single driver for this loop  and will travel with family.  

 

Plan to start from HYDERABAD sharp at 4PM on 17th May.

 

TRAVEL ROUTE

 

1. I will follow HYDRRABAD- TULJAPUR-OSMANABAD-BEED-AURANGABAD-LASUR-SAPUTARA- VADODARA-AHMEDABAD. The reason I voided via SOLAPUR-PUNE-MUMABAI is to avoid the traffic in PUNE and MUMBAI . 

2. Did a lot if research on various website and seems this route is very good throughout with minimum traffic . 

3. From HYDERABD to AURANGABAD , The NH65 and NH52 is perfect.

4. From AURANGABAD till SAPUTARA the road seems to be single lane but is in excellent condition as per some feedback. It will pass via LASUR and VAJJAPUR,YEOLA etc as per google map. As per google map it is NH-360.

5. This NH-360 goes along from SAPUTARA and connect to MUMBAI-AHMEDABAD highway NH-48 . 

6. From there I expect NH-48 could be great all along till Ahmedabad.

7. From Ahmedabad , there is a plan to visit SOMNATH (JYOTIRLINGA DARSHAN ) & DWARIKA .

9. From DWARIKA the return trip will be started. 

10. From DWARIKA , I will travel all the way to see SARDAR STATUE (STATUE OF UNITY) 

11. Will do a night stay in HOTEL RAJ/HATEL HARE KRISHNA/HOTEL FUN CITY in the highway. They seems decent as per google review.

12. From there will travel back to Hyderabad.

 

VEHICLE PREPARATION

 

1. Took my ETIOS to HARSHA TOYOTA kondapur, Hyderabad for a general check-up but they mentioned it is not needed to do any check as I have not yet completed the 10000 km annual service.  So just returned home without any check .

2. Anyway did the wheel alignment and balancing outside as last time it was done 7000km before.

3. The new MRF ZLX tyre just passed 20000 km. So tyres should not be a problem.

4. The batteries were replaced around 2019 MAY. So it is almost 3 years now and seems to be in perfect condition as well. 

5. All vehicle documents like POLLUTION , INSURANCE , RC BOOK, DRIVING licenses are in place...

6. FAST TAG recharge done with Rs.3000. Lets see how much it cost one way till Ahmedabad. 

7. Full tank done . 

 

HOTEL BOOKING AND NIGHT STAY

 

1.  First Night stay will be in SAPUTARA . booked Hotel PATANG RESIDENCY in SAPUTARA . It costs me Rs.7000/ including breakfast ( My kids have grown-up ,..13yr and 8 yr...So now need to pay for their stay as per the hotel. Base price was Rs.5000 for double occupancy and Rs.1000 for extra person. This Rs,7000 is including all taxes. 

2. Next day Morning will head to Ahmedabad and will check-in into NOVOTEL AHMEDABAD.

3. Will stay there for 3 nights . 

4. In SOMNATH there is no plan for night stay and in one day planning to cover  SOMNATH and travel to DWARIKA (It will be around 620km). Will do a night stay in DWARIKA 5. Next day complete STAY in DWARIKA and night stay as well. So it will be 2 night stay in DWARIKA . I have not yet booked any hotel in DWARIKA yet . I will book once I reach AHMEDABAD . 

6. Upon return from DWARIKA planning to book HOTEL RAJ/HATEL HARE KRISHNA/HOTEL FUN CITY along the highway for a NIGHT STAY . I will book this after reaching AHMEDABAD.

 

This is all the planning as of now . I hope all will go as per the plan .

 

Any suggestion from all of you is WELCOME. I will capture the road condition pictures all along this trip and will share post completion of the TRIP.

 

Signing off as of now ..... 😀😀
