I am not best writer but tried to pen down experience and information which may help others while planning / commuting on these routes. Most of the peoples may have done this route earlier but I was the one who has done this for first time. Please bear with photographs as all of them are clicked by my better half
In this travelogue I have mentioned some lines in Marathi and given its description in English just below it.
Jau devachiya gava! Gheu tethichi visava !!
(Let's go to God's village and take rest there)
It was Diwali and I was on leave for the festival. I thought of visiting temples which were on my list for long time. Told this thought to wife and she also agreed for it. The plan was to visit Siddheshwar Temple, Akkalkot, Ganagapur, Tuljapur and Pandharpur
There was my 8 years son along with us so we planned to halt at Ganagapur on first day and Pandharpur on second day.
The phase of packing started, I checked oil levels, tyre pressure, spare wheel in the car. We loaded all the bags into boot of my Grand i10 and started our journey on wee hours of 13th November 2015 from Hadapsar, Pune.
As we started early in the morning there was no traffic and I could reach Theur Phata which is almost 15KM from my home within 12 mins. Loved the morning breeze all the way on NH9. After crossing Yavat we had breakfast at “Vittal Kamat” and headed towards Solapur
On the way we captured few pictures of rising sun.
The road condition of Pune – Solapur highway is excellent. One can maintain 80-90 Kmph safetly on it. There are no undulation anywhere and its 4 lane road up to Tembhurni. There is traffic chaos at Tembhurni for almost 8 Kms then again the road converts back to 4 lane.
