Route update: Did Bangalore-Hyderabad-Adilabad-Nagpur-Seoni-Narsinghpur-Sagar-Jhansi-Gwalior-Jhansi-Narsinghpur-Chindwara-Nagpur-Chandrapura-Ghugus-Hyderabad-Bangalore. 1)Bangalore-Hyderabad: phenomenal good roads with quality tarmac. There are around 2 diversion in and after Kurnool. Also after Kurnool road relaying and widening work is going on in some parts so expect 2 way traffic on one side of road. Lot of food options. 2)Hyderabad-Nagpur: exiting Hyderabad is really painful and time taking specially in weekdays that too for 2 wheelers who arent allowed to take ORR. Hyderabad to Telangana Border is again very good with well laid tarmac and road marking. As soon as one approaches Telnagan-MH border, BUMP there appears unending series of craters on road. out of 100km roads from border to Hinganghat 70% of roads is completely torn apart with gravel, dust and stone. Rest 30% is also not smooth and filled with surprising potholes and unequal intervals. Nagpur bypass is again very fast and phenomenal with good roads and proper markings with no access to any eateries. Lot of food options. 3)Nagpur-Seoni: again the roads are very bad from Nagpur bypass to MP order with different features of a crater :P :). From Mansar roads are pritty ok with patches and broken roads which continue all the way upto Pench National Park. From Kurai roads are very good which changes completely once one reaches to Seoni. People suggested that Chindwara Nagpur side is more greener but i felt the opposite. This is much greener and denser.Not much food options 4)Seoni-Narshinghpur-Sagar-Jhansi(All bypass)-Gwalior: After entering MP one will see a complete different picture as one of the smoothest and finest roads are in MP(for now), by passing all these cities and villages in between. Caution: expect cattles and humans both to be spending there daytime and even nightime on tis bypass as hardly anyone uses it apart from some trucks, also road work at Narsinghpur bypass is yet to complete and expect some rough roads on small bridges and some diversions of same lane traffic. Not much food option. 5)Jhansi(Bypass)-Gwalior: Looking at this part of road it is only around 110kms of road but the incomplete road work is never gonna complete and the messy roads will always be there. Broken roads, incomplete roads, dust, smooth roads, traffic at Igatpuri, expect everything you want. 6) Naringhpur-Chindwara: Covered this road in night and one will feel like doing 100 times this 123kms stretch of road. One of the finest roads of country I have ever ridden on. Awesome track with very less road markings. Jungle roads to curvy roads all was perfect. Can easily munch miles in 3 digits speeds even in night. Rather I wont restrict myself telling that curves of this part of road is much better than Lavasa. 7)Chindwara-Nagpur: only 2 diversions now one before Sausar which seems to finish by end of this year and one in middle of Sausar. Again the road quality is awesome and one can maintain speeds upto 3 digits. Even this road section can fanaticize corner craving riders. People suggested me telling that this route is rough as compared to Seoni side but I experienced the opposite as Chindwara to Nagpur is complete windy and smooth as compared to Seoni Nagpur section which have lots of rough patches. 8)Nagpur-Chandrapura-Ghugus-Adilabad: on return journey missed taking a turn at Hinganghat and later realized it at Chandrapura, instead of going back took turn from Ghungus and took village road of Shindola and Korpana which crosses through Western Coal Mines field to cotton farm fields and then later joined at Adilabad on Nagpur Hyderabad highway. Road quality ranking(1st to last) MP-Karnataka-Telngana-MH. Thanks to Siddharth and Rajnish for suggesting the routes. One request, I observed while riding most of of the times in night that people can easily travel even in low beam and there isnt any requirement of high beam always. Please use your super sparkling high beam lights and please atleast do low beam when on coming traffiic requests for that by giving a signal.
