- - Hyderabad to Panna National Park & Khajuraho:Drive on Tuesday (https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/route-travel-queries/113858-hyderabad-panna-national-park-khajuraho-drive-tuesday.html)

Hi People,

This is real short notice I know and apologies for posting this real late.This was a decision made last night thanks to daughter;s school declaring sankranti vacations:)

What would be the best route to take from Hyderabad to Panna.Have reservations at Pashan Garh which I assume is around half an hour from the Panna Gates.

Hyderabad to Nagpur is pretty straight forward I guess via the NH7?Approximately how many hours of drive time should this take?I drive a Figo.Intend to do this leisurely with a 1st day break at Nagpur.Wife & 4 yr old daughter travelling as well.Is there any other place to stop beyond Nagpur so that second day travel is lesser?

Second day Nagpur-Panna.This is totally unchartered territory for me.Pls advise best roads for this section and approximate drive timings.

Thanks in advance

Yes. AP-MH border has some bad stretches. Road-widening works are still in progress in some stretches in AP and MH.

I left Hyderabad at 6 am and reached Nagpur by 2 pm including four breaks one for breakfast, one for tea and two for fuel.

I enjoyed my stay at Peanut, Nagpur, booked through MakeMyTrip.

We had one dinner and lunch at Haldiram's, Bardi, Nagpur, which were simply superb.:thumbs up We had our morning tea at a road-side dhaba, which are plenty on NH7.

Very few good eat outs in between HYD-NGP. When we did this stretch ~12 days back we were struggling to find a good one. There is one ~an hour drive from Hyderabad (must be 60-80Kms) on the left hand side (APTDC hotel) which served decent dosas.

My suggestion, start early with something packed for the road which can serve as breakfast (Start preferably @5am), it takes ~7-8 hrs to get to NGP hence by Lunch time you are in NGP.
