Route description

This route is excellent with well maintained pothole-free roads and decent traffic. I got the chance to do this route while going to Panvel for Rider Mania 2005. Night riding is also safe on most of the route. Decent and cheap lodges are available at near Sholapur, Indapur and Pune. Gives excellent opportunities to take good snaps especially near Naldurg Fort and the Lonavala ghats. You get a chance to drive in the 40 km 6 lane stretch just before entering Pune. A good place for testing your bike speed limits.

Stopovers

Breakfast - Zahirabad
Lunch - Sholapur
Night Halt ( if required ) - Pune.

Fuel Stations
Available throughout the route near all major towns/cities. Reliance, IBP, Indian Oil and HP. Bike Mechanic Shops are also readily available.
Tips
Roads from Indapur to Pune outskirts and again from Pune to Panvel are a little bad. Need to be careful while ripping. Also it is better if the ghats near Lonavala are done in daylight.
