We finally decided to go to Goa by road. Then the discussions and arguments on which route to be taken. The options are NH14 from Panvel to Goa or go to Pune via the expressway then hit the NH4, all the way to Nipani which is just after Kolhapur. Then take the right and get of the NH4 for the road to sawantwadi and Goa. All the information is gathered from friends , and maps. We finally decided on the longer option ( by 80 kms) via Kolhapur Reason being that 450 kms out of the 650 kms is on very good concrete roads. The balance 15o is through a little narrow roads.
The road is very picturesque and the drive, though long is very comfortable and soothing! Monkeys on the road, a waterfall to stop by, Exciting ghats with a 100 hair pin bends, farmers on their bullock carts loaded with freshly cut sugarcane. Wow!!
