Wagon R would be fine to do this trip. Quote:

b. Hyd - Suryapet - khammam - Jangareddygudem - Dwaraka Tirumala
Heard that lot of work happening on hyd - bza highway, any update on the current status ? I'm a safe / slow driver with speeds generally not crossing 60 - 70 KmPH but not very experienced with overtaking and other highway activities. |
Would suggest you to stick to the first route, though the 4 laning work is going on between Hyderabad - Nandigama. As the Khammam route is in it's worst condition I have ever seen.
Don't worry much about the HW experience you have. Four years back I had just 500 Kms of experience on any roads when I took up my first HW drive and now I have 1 Lac Kms experience. Quote:

0500 hrs start would be ideal time to leave Hyderabad and I would suggest you to have lunch in Vijayawada as you don't have many options in Dwaraka Tirumala. Quote:

I would recommend 7 to 7 and Rivera inn for BF/ Lunch in between Hyderabad - Vijayawada. 7 to 7 comes to your left before Kodad and Rivera comes to your Right near Narketpalli while you are heading to Vijayawada.
There are very options for stay in Dwaraka Tirumala. You can book a room in Punnami run by APTDC and thats the best option available.
Feal free to call me at any time you need more information about Dwaraka Tirumala. I have PM you my number.
Regards,
Vikram |
