I am planning for Bangalore to Shirdi drive with my family during last week of Oct. We have 5 days only and we would like to cover the following:
- Shirdi
- Shani Shingapur
- Kolhapur
- Any one of Jyothirlanga
- Any other places worth going if time permits
My tentative plan:
DAY 1: 700+kms
Leave 5am from Bangalore
Take NH 4 till Satara
Halt at Satara
DAY 2: 300+ kms
Leave at 7am
Deviate towards Ahmednagar via Baramati
Reach Shani Shingapur by afternoon
Proceed to Shirdi
Complete Shirdi Darshan and Halt
DAY 3: 350+ kms
Leave 7am to Triambakeshwar via Sinnar
By evening proceed to Grishneshwar
Halt at Aurangabad
DAY 4: 250kms
Visit Ajanta - Ellora and other places
By night reach Kolhapur
Halt at Kolhapur
DAY 5:600+ kms
Early temple visit at Kolhapur
Leave to Bangalore
I will be the only driver and I have driven 600+ kms at a stretch. No problem with that. But, I would like to be cautious as well.
I am going to book hotels this week.
I am looking for information regarding road conditions/hotels/bypass routes if any.
Which are the good hotels near by Shirdi temple?
Any good hotels at Satara/Aurangabad and Kolhapur?
Any latest updates for these places?
How is the road condition from Nashik to Aurangabad?
How is the road condition from Satara to Ahmednagar via Baramati? This is to avoid Pune city.
Should I skip Triamb/Grish and visit BHimashankar?
Veggie eatouts on the way?
How is BLR-Hubli-Bijapur-Solapur-Kurkumbh-Ahmednagar route?
Also, advice me on the itinerary if its not in right places/routes.
Please advice.
