Hi,
Welcome on board.

 

Where are planning for the halt, which car? 

Roads from Hyderabad to Nagpur are good.
But from Nagpur to Varanasi are pathetic. 

[Naveen1]

Hyderabad to Nagpur is 4-lane, apart from small bad patch.

 

Food options are very limited. 
Only road side dhabas(small) are available.   

 

Sharing few food options which are given by ranger:

Breakfast stop:
Divya Restaurant : https://goo.gl/maps/5Q8PeZ5A8vF2

 

Lunch stop:
If you want to refresh and need clean washrooms, I would suggest you to take a detour from Dichpally to Nizamabad.
Once you cross Nirmal you cannot find a proper restaurant.

 

Would recommend hotel Nikhil sai International at Nizamabad

Make sure you have the lunch before Nirmal

 

Roads from Nagpur to Varnasi is mostly single lane.

Many roads are bad.

 

I think it will be very tiring to do it in a single day (Nagpur to Varanasi)

Hyderabad to Nagpur is easy.
You will reach by dinner time, If you start at 2PM.

 

If you halt at Nagpur, next day you should start at 4AM.

It will easily take around 18 hours from Nagpur to Varanasi. 

[Gowtham]

Nagpur stop over is a must, if he wants to avoid night drive. 

Nagpur to Varanasi is going to be hectic. 

No proper roads and few diversions.

May be he can push a little and halt at Jabalpur. 

I think Jabalpur is a big town, they will have some hotels?

Agree with you.

 

But he is starting at 2PM.

If he starts early in the morning form Hyderabad.

Hyderabad -> Jabalpur -> Varanasi, will be an ideal choice.

We stayed in some  hotel around 2014,

I don't remember the hotel name, but they have decent options. 

[sahil]

It's really a stretch as he needs to cover 1250km.

Better to take a break.
Otherwise start early morning by 2 am from Hyderabad and around lunch time take some 1-2hrs break have a nap and start,

So he can reach Varanasi by night 9 - 10 pm..

Not possible in a single day, even with multiple drivers. 
He should take a break.

 

Question?
Nagpur or Jabalpur

Roads are bad after Nagpur.
If roads are good, your plan looks good.

How about taking break at Pench national park and do a break journey as it's on the way...I means take a day break...
I think on the way he needs to pass by few national parks..before reaching Varanasi...

My hometown is near Jabalpur, you can find a lot of decent hotels in the town.

Planning to Varanasi from Hyderabad by road what are places to visit in between

 

 

 

 

[rahmad]

Hi @Anithasarma,

 

I had done Hyderabad - Prayagraj - Hyderabad in May 2022. It shares the same highway till Mangawan (M. P.).

 

The roads are pretty good and you can easily maintain the permissible speed limit of 80 kmph, with below exceptions.

1. There was a diversion at Sleemanabad due to a flyover work on the highway, and was near completion. This might be completed by now and should be open for traffic.

2. Katni Bypass 4 lane work was in progress and there were lot of speed breakers.

3. Rewa Bypass is a 2 lane road and was damaged at some places due to overload trucks.

 

Also, you need to be careful about the stray cattle on the road, especially between Jabalpur - Varanasi stretch.

 

You can visit Bhedaghat in Jabalpur.

You can go for a Safari in Pench National Park.

You can also visit Maa Sharada Shaktipeeth in Maihar. It will be crowded if you are planning to travel during Navratri / Dussehra.

I had driven Hyderabad to Prayagraj(Allahabad) last weekend.

 

1. Road between Pimpalkhuti and Hinganghat has become worse. There are lot of bigger potholes on the highway.

2. Sleemanabad diversion is still in place.

3. Katni and Rewa Bypass condition is same as mentioned earlier.

 

I Visited Pochera Waterfalls during the drive. Its only a 4-5 Kms Detour from the main highway.

I have mostly traveled with family and we usually carried our breakfast and snacks with us.

I usually stop at MHKS Highway Plaza, Nagpur for Fuel refill and Lunch. Its a decent restaurant within a BPCL Petrol Pump.
