if you are planning to drive to dapoli via tamhini ghat, i will suggest stick to nh17 upto khed. goregaon-ambet-mhapral-mandangad-dapoli route is lonely road. no food joints except at mandangad which is also okok. lot of twists and turns with not a single soul on road. if you got puncture in tyres, god bless you. stick to nh17. you will be happy. | |

| I tried hunting a place to stay for this weekend at Karde, but looks like most are still feeling the effects of Cyclone Phyan. I guess my trip will now be post-poned (again!) till next week-end when most hotels should be back on again. Quote:
I used to like the Tamhini route and it isn't tooo bad in a car but for a bike it's horrible. Still now that I have done the Varandh route after a long time, I will stick to it for heading into Ratnagiri district in the future. Last edited by Abhay : 13th November 2009 at 15:07. | |

mahabaleshwar-poladpur is entirely ghat section. mahabaleshwar to pratapgad diversion is in good condition. pratapgad diversion to end of poladpur ghat has occasional potholes with somewhat rough patches. poladpur to indapur nh17 no problem. indapur to murud janjira-well i am not aware about latest road condition. murud janjira-kashid-alibaug-nice scenic seashore drive. alibaug onwards-no problem. | |
