I personally would prefer taking Amboli ghat for reaching Goa as roads are very smooth and well laid but crossing Kolhapur traffic has to be taken into account.
Avoid taking Kharepatan turn and rather go ahead till Oni. Then take Oni - Saundal - Anuskura. The roads are much better.

Re: Mumbai - Pune - Kolhapur - Goa : Route Queries

I just came back from Goa yesteday afternoon.

Did heavy reasearch on Team BHP for possible routes to drive to Goa.

Left on Saturday 4th January at around 7:30 AM from Wagholi, Pune.
Reaced Khed Shivapur toll plaza in an hour and a half.
Stopped at Hotel Kailash for a quick breakfast and drove non stop to Karad.

The roads while entering Karad are horrilble due to the flyover constructions.
Made a lunch break at McDonalds, Karad, reaching there by 12:30 PM.

Post leaving McDonalds, went below the flyover and took a right and headed towards Kokrud and onwards to Malkapur.

Onwards to Anuskura Ghat and continued directly towards Oni and touched NH66 to Mumbai-Goa highway at around 3:30 PM with a couple of stops inbetween.

Drove on till Calungute on NH66 and might I saw, the roads were amazing. Suprisingly, there was absolutely no Traffic on the roads (and luckily toll booths are not active) so sped on the highway without delays.

While entering Goa, there is a flyover construction going on so Traffic there was horrible. Spent 45 minutes in the jam and finally reached Calungute at around 7 PM.

Return Leg:

I left Calungute at around 6 AM on Friday 10th Jan.
Took the same route as I came. I did not want to go via Kolhapur or any other diversions.

Reached my destination in Wagholi by 4:30 PM with multiple stops.

My suggestion is to drive on the above mentioned route. The only challange is Traffic in Karad, but apart from that, the roads till Goa are amazing.

I would suggest avoid driving at night time in Anuskura Ghat due to the bends and less visibility due to the dark.

Thanks to all the BHP'ians for suggesting this route.

Re: Mumbai - Pune - Kolhapur - Goa : Route Queries

Dear All,

I will be travelling to Mandrem Beach - North Goa and I have decided to go via Anuskura Ghat.

After crossing Kudal, GMaps is suggesting to exit NH66 at Malgaon. Is this route considered OK or should I continue on NH66 and exit near Pernem Raiway station.

Could anyone advise ?

Regards,
F150

Roads are excellent and very less traffic
You’ll cover more distance in less time

Just back from a ride to Mandrem Beach over the Republic Day weekend and took the turn off at Malgaon. No problem faced. Roads are winding and through a couple of pretty forested areas. The approx distance is 30km from the highway to Mandrem beach.

You can check out the roads from this . See from 4.25 Min onwards
