Pl guide

You should do:

Jhansi-Shivpuri-Baran-Jhalawar-Ujjain-Indore-Pune-Mangalore. Just recently a member updated about the same.

Good Morning

Please guide on route from Lucknow till down south (Mangalore)
Is the AH47 (from Jhansi to Hubli) good for driving with family??
I will have my aged parents along.

From Hubli I plan to go to Yellapur - Ankola and then drive along the Konkan coast.
I plan to drive in third week of Dec

Instead of Hubli, take the Bangalore option.
Lukhnow-Jhansi-Sagar-Narsingpur-Chindwada-Nagpur-Hyd-Bangalore-Hassan-Mangalore. You get easier roads and stay options.

Or you do:

Lukhnow-Jhansi-Shivpuri-Kota-Chittorh-Ratlam-Indore-Dhule-Pune-Hubli-Yellapur-Mangalore

I read in another thread that Jhansi - Sagar - Hyderabad route has lot of bad sections and facilities are bad.

I drove the Chittorgarh - Ratlam - No need to go to Indore - Lebad - Manpur - Dhule - Nashik - Mumbai - Pune - Bangalore route. 4 - 6 lane roads all the way. Less traffic. Scenic too.

There are ways to overcome these bad sections. Like Narsingpur-Chindwada-Nagpur. Similar for cases around Jhansi-Sagar.

I drove the Chittorgarh - Ratlam - No need to go to Indore - Lebad - Manpur - Dhule - Nashik - Mumbai - Pune - Bangalore route. 4 - 6 lane roads all the way. Less traffic. Scenic too.

That was implied on my part. Sorry I should I have mentioned it explicitly.

Thanks for the replies. But is the AH47 section really bad and not worth? Actually taking Chittor-Ratlam route adds quite a lot of extra kms. Also I couldn't locate the Lebad-Manpur route mentioned by pramodpk

Basically, you take the Ratlam route from Chittorgarh. After Ratlam, you can see sign boards to Dhule & Indore. At Lebad, you exit the Indore route and take the Lebad - Manpur 4 lane road to join NH 3. There are lot of sign boards. After Ratlam, look for Dhule & Mumbai.

Hi pramodpk

Sorry, but I am back to my question of Jhansi-Guna-Dewas-Indore route. Actually Chittorgarh route is very long.
Is the AH47 route just not worth, I dont mind even if its two lane.

Mod Note: Please Avoid typing.... like this.....

I think there is still no information/update regarding the Jhansi-Guna-Dewas-Indore route. Or, is there?
Else, has anyone done the Jhansi-Jhalawar-Ujjain-Indore? Any update will help.

I saw a couple of moto vlogs on youtube where people have done this stretch on a bike. Doesnt seem too bad - not comparable to GQ roads.
