Either Mableshwar or Murud- Jangira somewhere near alibaug.

Just been to Mableshwar and the Roads are awesome. Took me some 4.5 hours.

Are you talking about the route via NH17 and Poladpur to Mahabaleshwar? Last year it was a nightmare (at least till the point up to Pratapgadh fort).

It definitely takes less than 4 hours MUM-PNQ - Mahabaleshwar if you leave around 6:30 in the morning.

swapszone · 21st January 2008, 23:04

and as DAN mentioned... we shud reach Mahabaleshwar by 10:00am

I Drove to M'shwar last month, went via NH-17 Mumbai-Panvel-Mahad-Poladpur-M'shwar-Panchangani-Wai-Pune-Lonavala-Mumbai

NH-17 was very nice, though it is not a multi-lane road. It would be enjoyable in a monsoon. Poladpur to M'hwar was a bad patch, for the initial strip will u reach the ghat roads. Else everything was fine.

Mumbai-Pune-M'war is a better idea, because u can speed up the Super Expressway and then drive down the NH4-lane from Pune to Wai, and take the short strip to Wai on the lane-less road, till M'war. The scenery is best on the panchangani strip.

Guys have fun!

(Alibag roads are not too good, it is just a road)
