Anyone has latest updates on Hyderabad - Nanded route and road conditions.
Suggestions for a good hotel in Nanded.

thanks

Hello friend,

Have you completed hyderabad - nanded trip ? If yes, then can you please share some info as i will be doing a night trip from akola to hyderabad via nanded shortly. Any pointers will be of great help since i will be doing this along with my parents.

Would be awesome if someone could post a more recent update on road conditions on the Hyderabad-Akola route.

Per Google, the options seem to be :
1. NH 161 via Nizamabad - Bodhan - Naigaon - Nanded - Washim
2. NH 44 till Nirmal and then connect to Washim-Akola route via Himayatnagar - Umarkhed

Any suggestions would be really helpful - traveling with 2 kids (incl. an infant) and elderly parents.

First Post:

I recently completed Hyderabad Nanded Nagpur. Google was suggesting two routes.

on Hyderabad Nanded Stretch:
1) hyderabad > degloor > Nanded (shorter time and distance)
2) hyderabad > Nizamabad > Basar > Nanded

Upon reading old threads I decided to go with the second. After Nizamabad at Jankampet Google showed faster route connecting to the first option before Degloor, however I decided to continue on Basar Road. In between certain sections of the road were completely missing partly due to concrete Road construction works.

However, the last 25 kms to Nanded were pothole ridden. I am not sure if the Google navigation was at fault or all the roads leading to Nanded are like that. I faced the same problem while leaving Nanded for Nagpur. I could drive only 30 kms in first 1.5 hrs.

I would recommend to try the first option to others and help the community in deciding upon the better route.

ps: I was so engrossed in avoiding potholes and bad stretches that I can't recollect in much detail

For your nanded - nagpur leg of journey you should have come across https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/route...ml#post5417987 but I guess its too late now. May be for next time.

I travelled from Nanded to Bengaluru on last Friday, 30th Dec. Here are the road conditions from Nanded till Nehru ORR Hyderabad. I took the following route based on Google Maps recommendation:
Nanded-->Narsi-->Degloor-->Nizampet-->Nehru ORR.

Exit from Nanded - 5-7 kms is worst, broken roads to no roads. Very slow progress.

Nanded to Narsi - 4 laned road with divider. Tarmac is not in excellent conditions and offers a bumpy ride up and down with a lot of patchwork done. However, there were very few to no potholes, and hence I could maintain a steady speed of 70-80 kmph. Since, I left early in the morning at around 6:30 AM, I hardly encountered any traffic.

Narsi to Degloor - Single road, but with much better smooth tarmac. Hardly any traffic and once again I could easily maintain speeds of around 80 kmph

Degloor to Nizmpet to Nehru ORR - After exiting Degloor and crossing over to Telangana, the toll road starts. Excellent tarmac and hardly any traffic. I made rapid progress towards Hyderabad and could reach Nehru ORR in no time. Paid INR 75 and INR 70 at Dharmaram and Kollapalle Toll plazas.

Start Time at Nanded Hotel: 6:32 AM
End Time at Nehru ORR Entry Toll: 9:58 AM

Overall a pleasant journey despite the fact the Nanded city roads put you off and villages slow you down with speed breakers and sometimes broken roads.

I recently did a trip to Nanded to visit the Sachkhand Sri Hazur Abchal Nagar Sahib Gurudwara, it was a targeted visit, so did it in one day.

Route that I took is here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/kc4qAybSqDdUNN1N9
Date travelled: 17-Aug-24
Onward: 4:45 AM to 8:45 AM (4 hours)
Return: 11 AM to 3:30 PM (4.5 hours)
Distance: 560 KMs
Fuel Efficiency: 13.8 kmpl (as per the panel of my Duster)

Road conditions and points to note:
1. Home to ORR via Suchitra and Home (NH 44) - Work in progress due to widening of NH 44, so expect slow moving traffic, especially during peak hours
2. ORR - Exceptional road, but stay within speed limits, a lot of slow moving traffic and erratic drivers.
3. ORR - NH 161 - ORR (NH 65) - Work in progress due to widening of NH 65, so mad traffic and bad roads.
4. NH 161 - Join at Kandi (just before IIT - Hyderabad). Beautiful road for the next 100 kms (approx.) till TG - MH border. Then it is a two lane road for the next 40 odd kms, the road was in decent condition at time of my travel. Last 40 odd kms are 4 lane with a divider in between, which is again decent at most of the places.
Note:
○ There are at least a hundred speed breakers on NH 161 in MH and a lot of them don't have sign either, so be careful. Expect speed breakers before any small village or town or even T or X junctions
○ You might have few folks trying to stop the car near speed breakers to ask for money, please don't stop. Slow down the car and pass them slowly
5. NH-161 to Gurudwara and back - Inner city roads, so expect the unexpected.

Things to do at the Gurudwara and points to note
1. You can get details of the Gurudwara and daily routine at https://hazursahib.com/web/
2. Visit the main sanctorum and spend time sitting there and listening to Gurbani, if that interests you
3. Have food at the Langar hall, believe me, it is delicious and while receiving the roti, please take it with both hands
4. Please keep your head covered with cloth, if you don't have one, you will get one at the entrance gate
5. Please don't take selfies in the premise, you can have someone take your photo with hands folded (don't understand the reason, but it is what it is)
6. Shorts are not allowed, so please don't wear them if you are visiting the Gurudwara
7. There is no clear parking space for cars, so I parked it on a one way before the road on the side, so you need to find one
