pune goa I know I am writing very late but it is for any on who wants to take NH 4 passing by Satara, Kolhapur and on the way to Belgaum. The road is wide, a high way and you can easily go up to a speed of 120-150. And is a nice ride.
Follow the Satara Road, go past kolhapur and then from Shankreshwara take a right turn.You will have to go down underthe bridge to take the right turn.
The small road will take you Gadgilanj or soemthing like this.Then coems Amboli Ghat and after that Sawantwadi.
From Sawantwadi its straight to Goa in 1 hour.
The whole journy for me takes not more then 8 to 10 hours driving with a speed of 100-120 on the highways and 60-80 on the inroads wiht one or two half hour stops in between. The distance is 450 kms approximately.
