You have my record (in my head) with an extra 70-80 kms.

Yes, Bad roads was super slow but when we got good roads, we were belting. Plus, we never stopped from Nagpur to Medchal.

Also, the point where we started from Nagpur after lunch was 5 minutes before the Ring Road Intersection, a Dhaba attached to a BPCL station and it was around 1430 and exactly when we reached Medchal (Entry to ORR) it was 2030 and we stopped for Dinner here before entering ORR.

Hyd -> KamaReddy -> Basara road -> Nizamabad -> MH.

The road was in great condition 3months ago. Highways in TS are well maintained. And toll charges are lil okay.

The highway touches a way to waterfall enroute.

Guys, I plan to drive down to Sagar (MP) from Bangalore on 19 or 20th Dec.

The route proposed is Blr-Hyd-Nizamabad or Blr-Hyd-Adilabad on Day 1
Further, Nizamabad or Adilabad to Nagpur and then to Sagar on Day 2.

Wanted advice on 2 aspects.

1. Which part of the route has poor patches of road and what is the approx toll
2. Where is good / decent hotel for an overnight stay at end of day 1. Either in Nizamabad / Adilabad / any other town in the vicinity.

Cheers

Nizamabad is not on the Hyderabad - Nagpur highway. You will need to take a left turn at Dichpally and go nearly 20 km to reach Nizamabad.

However, I am not aware of any "decent" hotel in Adilabad.

Yes, but I chose that option coz based on by Google search, at-least this place has some options for overnight stay.

That's why I am requesting if anyone on the forum knows of a decent place for an overnight stay preferably in Adilabad. If not, I am willing to drive that extra 20 + 20 Km

Cheers

1. The seoni route is not in good condition. So please take the chhindwara route to Sagar.

2. Hotel Mayuri at Nirmal is a good option. Many bhpians stayed here and the feedback was good. You can search the forum for more details.
A new hotel has come up at Adilabad. Hotel Sai panchvati. No personal experience. You can take a call based on the reviews.

Completed a Hyd - Nagpur - Jabalpur - Nagpur - Hyderabad last weekend and here is the road update.

Hyd - Jabalpur(Via Seoni & Forest Area)

1. Started from Gachibowli(Hyderabad) and took the ORR to reach Nagpur Highway.
2. The first 300kms of the highway is extremely good conditions(Toll would be appx 1rs per Km)
3. At about 330Kms mark, the road became single lane(4 lane work in progress). However, you can maintain an average of 50kmph.
4. Started in Hyd at 6:30 Am and reached Nagpur at 2:30Pm(Speeds we did were not very high. The drive was a relaxed one)
5. Started from Nagpur and took the Nagpur - Seoni - Jabalpur highway. Total distance is around 250kms. Out of these 250kms, 70kms is in very bad condition(The forest zone that you can mark on google maps). Practically, had to take the car through craters. Average speed here would be around 25kmph because of this road.
6. I was in hurry and managed to reached Jabalpur in 6hrs after we started from Nagpur


Jabalpur - Seoni - Chindwara - Nagpur - Hyderabad

1. Started at 10:30 Am. After a lot of speaking to the drivers, decided not to take the Seoni forest road.
2. Came upto Seoni and then took the Chindwara road. The road is butter smooth and you can cruise at high speed.
3. This road is appx 80kms longer. Though it is long, the time we took to reach Nagpur was 6Hrs.
4. Also, this road has a couple of toll booths only.
5. We reached Nagpur at 4:30Pm and started back for Hyderabad after our lunch at 5:30Pm.
6. After some enthusiastic driving, reached Hyderabad at 12:15Am.

Hope this helps.

Guys, The trip in Dec was postponed and is finally happening on 10th April i.e. coming Monday.

Plan to leave home in Bangalore(Malleswaram) at about 6 AM and hope to reach hotel Sai Panchavati in Adilabad just before 8 PM the same evening. Hope that this is doable and I also hope that there is some rain on the way to cool off from this sweltering heat.

Continue the journey from Adilabad on 11th morning by 8:30 AM and hope to reach Sagar by 8 PM via the Seoni route as advised by fellow T-BHP members.

Could someone let me know the approx Toll on the way and also any specific areas where the Speed Guns may be waiting for un-suspecting drivers like me.

Any advise on a good place to have lunch on each day will be a welcome bonus. Veg/Non-Veg both will do just fine.

Cheers

I know you are on the road today. If possible, please let me know the details of the road from Adilabad to Nagpur as it was a nightmare last time I drove there. From the earlier updates, I do know that the roads got spoilt quite a bit after rains last year.

If anyone else can help with the road conditions between Hyderabad and Nagpur, please let me know as I plan to drive down on the weekend. Would appreciate any responses.

I suppose you are referring to the Hinghanghat stretch, which is about 60 odd kms. Absolutely nothing to worry about especially on a 4 wheeler. I did this stretch last year in Sept on a motorcycle and it was doable without much fuss. It used to be really bad until about 1.5 years back but work has been going on in full swing.

You will have to slow down for minor diversions and drive at moderate speeds, thats about it.

Hi Guys, did the trip over a period of 2 nights and 3 days as my mom decided to join me. The overall drive time from Blr to Sagar was 19 hours as the roads are excellent except for the toll which sets you back by nearly 1800 bucks.

The road patch between Andra border and Maharashtra from where the sign boards read Nagpur 150 km to Nagpur 90 km is 'Men at Work'. The road is not good but not too bad either. You can drive at about 60 to 70 kmph speed with lot of diversions and single road in between.

The other patch between Nagpur and Chindwara seems to have been re-laid recently and this allowed us to cover the distance of 398 km in 5:10 minutes including break for re-fueling and attending nature's call

Cheers

Did a return trip on Monday and the plan was to do it in 2 days and 1 night. We were able to comfortably do it as planned.

Left Sagar on Monday at sharp 9 AM and we entered Nagpur at 2 PM. We only stopped once to attend nature's call. It took us 45 minutes to pass through Nagpur as there was no bypass (as per Google Maps).

We decided against stopping for lunch due to the excess heat and ate whatever snacks my MIL had packed for us.

Stopped once again to attend nature's call and finally reached Hotel Mayuri Inn in Nirmal at 6:30 PM. Distance Covered 660 KM

Left next morning at 7:30 AM and stopped once for refueling and attending nature's call before halting at Hotel Suraj Grand in Kurnool for some tasty Biryani. We reached Kurnool at 1:10 PM and left at 1:50 PM.

Continued our journey straight to Blr and reached home in Malleswaram at 6 PM. Distance covered 810 km

Car in Question - Pailo Multijet. Overall fuel efficiency 19 kmpl
