Hey folks after a long time back on Team-bhp, life took over so travels subsided. Going to Goa this long weekend and after reading through last few pages I take it that Bangalore - Khanapur - Jamboti - Candolim is the best route option. Planning to start by 5am. However, its interesting that Google map shows the Mollem - Ponda route as faster, how so if the road condition is bad? |

Absolutely remains good. Wider than Chorla and quite faster too. This road off late has become a preferred option for Central and North Goan destinations, after-all this was always known as "Goa Road" popularly! |

Returned from Goa on 1st August by Mollem route. Absolutely smooth, no issues at all. Highly recommended. |

So I guess I would then stick to what Google is offering Mugad - Londa - Mollem - Ponda - Panjim - Candolim |
But that route shows some road work around Ponda |

Nothing that you need to worry at all. In fact this road has been in fantastic shape since ever since it was "ready to drive" 2 years back that even small little craters that appear are getting attended regularly. |

Paragbhai, there is a patch of about a kilometer or so where some work is in progress for a while now. This is a place next to a watery lake sort of area after Ponda bypass towards Madgaon. It is driveable but not in good shape. |

1 Km of road work am sure isn't going to be a case where one should not take this road? Even if this is longer by one more km, I guess the overall route remains best bet when it comes to reaching Goa isn't it? What do you say from your recent experience ? |

Absolutely. That is the best road. Nothing to worry about at all. My recent experience was great. BTW visiting Goa again on 24th but taking Amboli route to go. My return route on 28th is via Mollem again. Will update the very latest status for both the routes then. |
