Best way is to Fly.....
I just returned back to Chennai at 5.00 a.m in the morning from Goa.
The roads are so bad, it took 15 hrs for me to reach Candolim(Goa) from Chennai and 14 hrs 30 mins on my way back to Chennai.
On my way to Goa I took NH 63 from Hubli to Ankola and on my way back I drove all the way to Belgaum from Panaji and drove south again to Bangalore...
Bad stretches on my way: Thumkur bypass, Davangere to some 30km after Ranibennur, Yellapur to Ankola and about 25 km once you enter Goa.
The NH63 from Hubli to Yellapur is nice, but the roads after that to Ankola are bad.
Be prepared to loose one hour in traffic at Ranibennur if you are passing it during the day.
Bad stretches on my way back to Chennai: About 35km stretch before Londa(No roads at all, Tar totally worn out and deep pits) and the bad stretches as I mentioned above on NH4.
Lost close to an hour at Belgaum city because of traffic.
Hope this helps! |
