Yes, Ampere, this is the route I took to connect to the highway. Is there a better road?

Thanks

Yes that section is quite congested. Especially the roads around Kota Junction (Railway station). Quite surprised that the real bypass is still not up.

So is the Kota bypass on NH76 complete? Because I see that for quite some time this has remain incomplete.

Jaipur - Agra : Brilliant 4-lane (~300km)
Agra - Delhi : Yamuna Express Way!

So Ampere that means great roads and a travel time of around 3.5 to 4 hrs right ?

Yes Agra-Delhi should be fast. But it would also depend on the time taken to reach Express way. For Jaipur-Agra I think 4.5-5 would be a good bet.

Need to travel to Indore from Gurgaon this weekend & return via Bhopal , what route should I consider if someone who has been on these roads recently can update.

First, the return journey: recently, I drove from Sagar to Indore via Bhopal. The roads are good all the way to Indore. Sagar>Vidisha>Bhopal is a good 2-laned SH. Bhopal>Dewas>Indore is a beautiful 4-lane toll SH/NH. So, I suggest, you can consider this route: Indore>Dewas>Bhopal bypass>Vidisha>Bina>Jhansi>Gwalior>Agra>Gurgaon. The details are here. Please note that I have not driven the Sagar bypass route via Bina; the Jhansi>Gwalior stretch is a 2-lane stretch prone for traffic jams.

Now, coming to the up journey, you can consider Gurgaon>Jaipur>Kishangarh>Bhilwara>Chittorgarh>Nee much>Ratlam>Indore. I have done this route, not recently, but a few years back, which is an excellent 4-lane toll NH.

J Ravi has answered it perfectly.

- Gurgaon-Jaipur-Chitorh - Nimbaheda - Ratlam - Lebad - Indore. (Good 4-lane past Jaipur). Though I dont know the current status of NH8 on the Delhi-Jaipur sector. There were lot of constructions on going as per what I read last.

Thanks Ravi & Ampere

I dont know the current status of NH8 on the Delhi-Jaipur sector.

It's in perfect shape now , most of the flyovers are now complete , I did this recently on the way to Kandla , from Gurgaon it should take no more than 4 hours with one break at the most time of day.

Then you are good to go. Jaipur-Chittorh-Ratlam-Indore. It forms a nice corridor.

Hi,
Just wanted to know what route you took finally? I'm on a long trip (chandigarh to Karwar) starting 15 Jun and wanted to route via Agra to show Taj mahal to the kids. Next stop Indore/Mhow.

My Question: How is the road from Agra/Gwalior to Indore, and which way is recommended... ? Given an option, i would not like to take the longer option (going back towards jaipur and coming down via Chittor to Indore).
Thanks in advance

hello everyone. Bringing this thread alive.
I am considering driving to Indore in a month with family. Has anyone recently undertaken a trip to Indore from Delhi NCR? Although I am inclined to take the route via. Jaipur, the other option via Gwalior is shorter. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

thanks in advance

I would suggest the Jaipur option. Jaipur-Kishangarh-Chittorh-Neemuch-Ratlam-Lebad-Indore.

This is end to end 4-lane.
