Thanks.

My travel time of 14 hrs was from Alkapuri, Vadodara to Faridabad entry. This included all stops and breaks; Food stops, fuel stops, election related police check post stops etc. I also had to stop a couple of times additionally for some issues with a loose wheel arch trim of my car. And I kept precisely within the speed limits. No traffic fines at all

13 hrs till outskirts of Delhi (Gurgaon / Faridabad) is feasible provided you start sufficiently early. I started at 4 AM and reached Faridabad exit of DND-KMP link at 6PM. Starting early beats peak traffic at both ends.

Hi all, any decent place to stay near Thandla interchange? I can see MPT hotel at Jhabua but it is around 1 hour from Thandla interchange.

Hi, are you suggesting Bhanpura -> Julmi -> Suket to join NH52 after getting down from NE4 at Bhanpura interchange?

I won't advise sundown travel on Indore-Godhra stretch. Either stay at Indore/Ratlam/Dhar or Baroda/Godhra

Staying at Jhabua is also not recommended? in case one reaches before sunset? Because staying at Vadodara means will have to drive for close to 15 hours to reach Delhi the next day.

Also, as per this video, the Godhra interchange has been completed since last two months but still has not been opened for public. Any idea whether we can use this stretch?

In October 2023, I had stayed at Om Hotel and Restaurant in Thandla. Its about 10 km when you exit NE4 at Thandla. From the exit, its a narrow road just before the hotel. Decent hotel, I paid Rs 1600 for a double room with single occupancy. They charge about Rs 200-300 extra if you want to use the AC. They had a decent restaurant where I had dinner.

Sad state of affairs. But who will save from the police harassment once they are employed there?
