I suggest you to reach Belgaum that will take just 1 more hour and have breakfast at Sanman or Eefa near Rani Channamma Circle. In case you take Sankeshwar-Amboli road and ready for little late breakfast, Kamats' at beginning of Amboli Ghat is also a good option. however, it will take at least 2.30 hrs from Kolhapur to reach there. Have safe journey. | |

I bypassed Sawantwadi via the Dandoli-Banda route, so can't comment on the Amboli-sawantwadi route, but given a chance to choose between the two roads, i would avoid NH4A. |

Take the Sankeshwar-Gadhinglaj-Amboli route.Amboli route is fine except for some rough edges here and there.Its hardly anything compared to what you would get to see on NH4A.NH4A for most parts of the year has craeters(not even potholes-thats too mild a word).Stick to Amboli route and you should be able to do fine. |

So perhaps Sankeshwar-Gandhinglaj-Amboli would be still better. And once you enter Goa, the roads are butter smooth so you will simply cruise from Patradevi-Panaji-Ponda. Last edited by suniladhiya : 7th December 2011 at 20:47. | |

Road upto Kolhapur is not an issue at all. Traffic was also pretty sparse. Are you planning to enter Konkan from Amboli or Radhanagri or Amba? take care and drive safely | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Thanks a lot folks for all your updates!! There has been a small change of plans as my dad has some work at Hubli too. Hence from Hubli, we are planning to go to Ponda thru the Ankola NH63 route as we heard is in good condition and on the way back, I am planning the Ponda-Panaji-Banda-Dandoli-Amboli-Sankeshwar route. Had a small question: From Banda, the road to Dandoli, is the white road (going up just after the cross roads of NH and SH) in the attached image. ![]() Asking bcos from Google maps, it looks like the road is not complete all the way to Dandoli? |

Images shared by AP was for the Dandoli side, hence I am little confused on where this road connects near Banda so that I dont miss it on my way from Ponda. | |

Just as you touch Banda from Goa side, you will see a road on the right hand side, almost at right angles to NH17, this is the road to Danoli. This point is about 1 1/2 kms after the Goa check post. Hope this helps. |

One last question: Do we have to pay anything at the border? I dont have any intentions of carrying any liquor back. Do they bother us at the Goa and MH border for their usual chai-pani ? | |

Nope you don't have to pay anything at th border. check post for liquor is further after banda and towards sawantwadi at a place called insuli on NH17. |
