Around 670 kms from Hyd to Vizag on my WagonR in 2003, and also in 2002.

Have driven from San Jose CA to Lassen Volcanic Park CA and back in one day. Each side journey took about 6 hours (300 miles) and we ended up spending only 4 hours at the park!

Pisa(Italy)-Venice-Bologna-Udine-Salzburg(Austria)-Munich(Germany)-Innsbruck-Frankfurt-Hannover-Hamburg. A total of 1260 kms in 15 hrs with 3 big breaks and 3 small ones.

It was a Volkswagen multivan and we were 6 of us travelling and 3 driving.That was the most memorable drive of my life.

My family have regularly done Cochin - Tirumala (various routes, various vehicles). Between 8 and 18 hours - depending on drivers, vehicles and road conditions.

Buicks, Dodges (both second hand from HH the bishop), ambys (all versions), Padmini safari, Maruti Omni. On friends' cars, I have done this on Honda CIty (most uncomfortable of them all) and Zen.

Omini was by far the slowest - this was the one which took 18 hours. (Start from ekm at 3 AM, reach Thirumala at 11 - excluding the rest time). The City needed 14 hours on a Sunday, the Zen did it in 13; and obviously, the older cars did lesser time - but the roads were more deserted in those yonder golden days.

Tirunelveli to Hyderabad..1000+ took me and a freind of mine (we took turns)19hrs nonstop except for loo and food breaks

Sudipto-S-Team · 24th June 2007, 21:18

Darjeeling to Kolkata via Panagarh - about 750 km. Took 17 hours but due largely to a three hour long blinding thunderstorm in the evening that slowed down proceedings (Pangarh to Bardhaman took 2 hours). Plus another hour long hold up in the morning due to a fatal accident ahead of us.

500+ kms, all day driving with two stops for breakfast and lunch.

diabloo · 7th December 2007, 16:19

Hyderabad - Bangalore - Kodai about 20 hours with a 1 hr break in Blr and a lunch break.

snaronikar · 7th December 2007, 18:25

Bangalore-Gulbarga: 12 1/2 hrs 1 1/2 hours break in between did 623 kms around a month back in Ford Ikon Flair. Mostly SH roads. Total driving 11 hrs (excluding break).

BlackPearl · 7th December 2007, 18:45

Delhi-Kolkata (1550 Kilometers) non stop in 30 hours, so must have travelled more than 1000 in 24 hours

iraghava · 7th December 2007, 19:24
