Day 1 :
Mumbai – Ahemdabad – Himmatnagar – Udaipur.
Guys we started our trip @ 5.30 a.m on 13th Sept. The mood was upbeat; me and my friend had lots of packing to be done as we were planning to go camping on the banks of the river Sutlej. Lots of baggage, lots of packaged food, but it was not a problem, as we were only 2 of us in the large Mahindra Scorpio Mhawk.
Anyways here is the day 1 report:
We did 800 Kilometers today from 5.30 a.m to 6. Pm., with stops for break fast, lunch and afternoon tea. The drive was a scenic drive through Gujarat and entering Rajasthan. The road conditions were perfect and we encountered very few pot holes all throughout till Udaipur. Especially the expressway between Baroda and Ahmedabad was exceptional; the road surface quality was immaculate, traffic was less, very few trucks encountered on the that particular strip, Even the Surat Baroda road is a very easy drive road.
The drive between Himmat Nagar and Udaipur was a scenic drive, with some mild ghats encountered. What was surprising was the quality of roads and the way the SUV Scorpio handled high speeds. I also found a hidden feature about the car : the cruise control, set the speed and just control the steering, the cars computer will ensure that the set speed would be adhered to.
Breakfast break was @ kamats lunch was @ a dhaba (pics attached) and dinner was @ Udaipur (sadly no pics as the camera was put for charge). I highly recommend the dhaba where we had lunch, some really spicy daal and sabji.
