The Route we took :
- Started from NRI Complex, Seawoods, Nerul - Followed the Uran Road
- The Uran Road gets connected to JNPT Road, which is a bigger road coming from Panvel. Enter this road and drive straight. Make sure to move to the Highway. There is a parallel road which can be confusing.
- At the junction circled in Red at the end of the JNPT Road at Panvel, make sure to take a U-turn, come back, and enter Left to the Panvel-Kanyakumari Road. Then follow the straight Road till Vadhkal. From Vadhkal turn left and drive ahead.. From here, just follow the road, till Mahad.
- From Vadhkal drive through - Nagothane, Kolad, Indapur, Mangaon to reach Mahad. We halted for night stay at Hotel Kuber Palace.
Stats:
- Distance to Vadhkal - Almost 50 Kms from start, 38 Kms from Panvel.
- Distance to Mahad - Almost 140 Kms from start, 90 kms from Vadhkal.
- Time taken to reach Mahad - including 2 breaks in between, almost 4 hours.
Condition of Roads:
- Up to Vadhkal, the road is very bad, full of potholes, heavy traffic. Big and long trucks may cause traffic blocks, don't expect to drive fast. No dimming of head lights by any vehicle, so be careful.
- Vadhakal to Mahad, the road is good. A few steep turns. Traffic is low and you can keep a steady speed @ 60-70 km/hr.
Tips:
- Take food along with you at the start of the Trip.
- Take rest at Vadhkal for a few minutes. Have something to freshen yourself.
- Have food before Mahad, somewhere at Indapur/ Mangaon.
We started @ 8.00 PM and checked in at Mahad @ 12.00 midnight.
