The Shiradi ghats (I had named it as Charmadi by mistake in my earlier post) are wide enough with concrete stretches in between. Like LUKEYSKYWALKER mentioned, most of the places did not need up-shifting.
Would suggest a word of caution in the ghats, do not over speed as the car may slide a bit due to gravel/pebbles on the road. I did pretty good speed but the car held on to the road like she was in love with the road
