Hai Pramod,

Nice trip you are planning, it would be exciting to do this.

Sure, Kumar on Indian Highways is a fentastic resource and so accurate too. If you log on to Indian Highways and put up this question, he would invariably answer your quiery with details.

I have some info. which would be useful. I have done Ahemdabad-Delhi-Chandigarh-Shimla- Kullu stretch once and Ahmedabad-Delhi twice. Again I've done Ahemdabad-Calicut-Cochin last year and Ahmedabd- Mumbai stretch many times, Some detials.

A lot would depend on what car you are driving, if you have 2 drivers yo can cover more distance in a day safely.

You would be able to do Delhi-Bhilwara-Chittorgarh-Udaiput one day, about 650 KM, excellent roads, Udaipur - Ahmedabad - Thane - 780 - you would need to stretch this day with 2 drivers but doable since you would have very good roads from Udaipur to Baroda and from Manor to Thane. Thane to Margoa - 600 KM, doable since the roads again are good, Margao to Calicut about 590 KMS, good roads till Kerala border from there on you would slow down, Calicut to Trichur about 150 Km (need to check this distance). You can take maybe a day off at Goa since it would be midway. If you start early around 5-6 am you would be able to finish each days run before 8-9 pm and have adequate rest for the night. If you need help with stay etc., let me know, I can suggest some places.

Hope this helps.

I cant advise you much on what route to take, but here are some don'ts
1. Do not take the shortest route, i,e, thought maharashtra/MP etc., The roads suck due to very poor status of North south corridor, and dacoities are abundant
2. Rajasthan and Gujrat are reeling in floods. Check up on the Delhi - Mumbai route well in advance
3. From Mumbai to Mangalore, you are in the western ghats, i.e. the konkan railway route. Be aware of landslide problems etc.,
4. Once in kerela, till calicut you will have more hilly terrain, after that things smoothen out.
5. You will not get Pepsi and Coke in Kerela, so if you are an addict drink all you can in Mangalore. I dont know if the state border has anti coke import laws.
