- We completed a road trip, a drive starting from Mumbai to Udaipur, which took less than 12 hours, covering over 700 kilometers one way. We experienced great roads in all three states and now have some tips and lessons to share! We drove a Ford EcoSport 1.5 petrol AT and ride quality, comfort and road confidence were unparalleled. Watch complete video for in-depth information on driving in 3 major Indian states, i.e. Maharashtra, Gujrat and Rajasthan. Some helpful information is outlined below that is not included in the video.
All Toll plaza between Mumbai to Udaipur [Names, toll fee, time taken to cover the distance]

We reached here at 8:11 AM - IRB Bhagwada toll plaza - INR. 70 - 64 KMS

Please note: If you started from Mumbai early in the morning, you'll pass by 3 McDonalds on NH48 between Mumbai to Gujrat however, unfortunately none of them were open by the time we passed, i.e. before 10 AM. After 10 AM, drive through is open is what security at the McDonalds claimed.
For breakfast tea, we stopped at Giriraj Kathiyavadi Restaurant in Mansarovar Plaza, Near IRB Toll Plaza, Amboli, Kamrej, NH 48, Surat. This restaurant too was yet to open, but the owner was so kind that he specially got tea prepared for us. It was one of the best tea we had on the entire road trip. Big thanks to him.
Below is what we discovered driving Ford EcoSport Petrol Automatic for 1500 Kilometers round trip between Mumbai to Udaipur.
Used cruise control for 95% of the highway journey.
Fuel economy when cruising at 100KM/h was 13/Litre
Fuel economy when cruising at between 110 - 120KM/h was 12.5KM/Litre
If you overtake, press the accelerator pedal down or get stuck in a traffic jam - the fuel economy drops further. Therefore, the overall mileage we got was 11.9KM/h according to the trip meter.
The average speed of the complete round trip was under 70 Kilometer (surprisingly!)
The main key on why and how we reached Udaipur from Mumbai in less than 12 hours (11 hours and 30 minutes with breaks) covering 730 Kilometers is a combination of:
1. Consistent speed
2. No major traffic jam/trucks
3. Short breaks. (we stopped 8 times for 2-3 mins break to stretch my legs and hands, 2 food breaks of around 15 mins each)
The trip was wonderful, and the stay at Udaipur was ever better. Do check the hotel Trident Udaipur tour video where we stayed for 5 days here: bit.ly/Trident...

Thank you for reading and watching our road trip. We wish you get to get on the road too. Lots of love from us.
Hope this video is helpful for everyone planning for long trips. Please share your experience and tips, if missed any.
Sir I am planning to go to udaipur shortly..do I need to keep rtpcr test..for checking in boarders of Gujrat and Rajsthan from pune
thanks, in 2018 i did under 10 hrs. but driving was to the limit. now in 2023 i want to redo this journey but i am guessing the roads are now much better than in 2019 so looking forward to explore more of rajastan
Very nice vlog, please share the fastest route you took from Mumbai
Great
Very well explained video. Thank you
One mandatory break everyone should take is an eye adjustment break when light deteriorates during evening time.
Totally agree 👍
Is there any Ghat section on the way? Or all road is the super highway?
Wow
Very important information
Sharmaji, Thank you for the briefing the trip. This would be my first long drive in fact my families so your video is really helpful to keep the time in mind. Your Toll detail is pretty helpful. Thank you for sharing it !!
Good evening sharmaji,just subscribed our channel..basically iam a TATA lover eventhough I liked to subscribed channel.I had maruth Alto purchased on Dec 2020 and travelled more than11,000 kilometres till now.due to budget I took Alto....I hope within short time I will go for NEXON.
I wish you success and hope you buy a Tata Nexon soon! Best of luck!
@@SharmasTravelogues thank you Sharma ji
mam sir apka vlogs muja bhot pasand ha ya nice video ha 🥰🥰
Thank you for such beautiful words 😊
Hey Nice vid guys ... ...how are the roads currently.. and patch that we should avoid...
There are no bad patches at all. One of the best roads to be honest! It’s road to Goa that’s pathetic
Helpful and descriptive. ✌
Planning trip this month.
Only one suggestion
if you again make video's like this then just show some graphic information to your viewer's that this part of video is between this and this city like vadodara to bharuch and vice versa so everyone feel the driving experience at home and plan accordingly.
And overall i like your video..keep making new videos.....
Total how many tolls you crossed
Hi
Nice blog. I am planning a trip, will help.
Which route did you take?
Driving on Ahm-mumbai hw is tiring nowadays with lots of trucks
From Mumbai, straight until Vadodara and then the Halol-Kalol bypass road from Vadodara junction under flyover. Yes, avoid going to Ahmedabad. Google maps will also recommend same.
Liked ur travel checklist...especially the point about fast tag
Thank you!
there is no toll of driving for 12 hrs, if one is passionate about driving and loves driving car, even 12 hrs seems less... i am depicting myself... i have also done Navi Mumbai - Udaipur 8AM - 8PM and there was single % of tiredness....
Totally agreed!
Hi that's really great. How many stops did you take
1. Whenever you go on long drive and stop in between for 10 to 20 mts, always keep open the Bonnet of the car, so that engine gets cooled to some extent.
2. Driving around commercial trucks can be dangerous, so always take extra precautions. The risk of an accident increases with these vehicles because they have larger blind spots, cannot maneuver as easily, and take longer to stop compared to passenger vehicles.
A Truck being a heavy vehicle will never move his steering wheel right or left, if he finds that you are coming just in front of him.
So never OVERTAKE a car or a truck if you see a them coming from opposite side.
Try to overtake only if road ahead is very clear.
Agreed, point number 1 will definitely be tried on next trip :)
Could you please help me with some information on by road travel restrictions/ guidelines like reports required to travel from Maharashtra to Gujarat and Rajasthan. Thank you!
There is no restriction on driving from and into either states however, wearing mask is mandatory in Gujrat even if you are alone or with your relatives in the car with windows up. Fine is INR. 1000. We were stopped by a traffic cop for this in Vadodra under flyover while taking turn towards Halol bypass. Ditto for Rajasthan, especially in city traffic and signals. I have heard, this rule is now in Maharashtra too. No report shall be asked on highways, checkposts, tolls etc while crossing from one state to another. It is the hotels that ask for first or second dose vaccine certificates as per respective state policy. Even while site seeing, like temples or boat rides - report is not asked by anyone. Wearing mask is enough. Hope this helps, happy journey!
Sir whenever we are going for a long drive, all your gyan is simply gyan, avoid these gyan, always talk more abt highways roads show more travel videos and speed officially should not cross 80kmph, what ever is your higher speed never quote.
As this is your first vlog so it's just a suggestion I know you guys will do awesome good which you are already doing, thoda sa change will make you rock guys... All the best 👍👍👍
Thank you, appreciate the feedback!
@@SharmasTravelogues don't worry you guys are really doing awesome good... 🙌🙌🙌🙌
this video is quiet informative. im planning the same trip now by road and would like to know which route did you take? via Ahmedabad or Godra? is it really possible to do mumbai to udaipur in 12 hours?
yes it is possible by taking as less breaks as possible, Driving your car at above 90 KMPh but less than 100KMPH. Imp thing is keep your car tanked up to brim & dont fill up.. ( your car tank if more than 50 Lts is ideal). I have done it about 11 hrs Udaipur to Mumbai starting at 7 AM from Udaipur... reach Mumbai by 6 PM...
3.Long route Truck drivers are always drunk, so beware while overtaking or when you find them coming from opposite side.
4.Drive your CAR sitting on drivers seat like an HAWK. Always remain ALERT. Keep constant eye on your front and rear view mirror.
5. Never drive with your mobile headphone on your head.
Very nice information. Generally nobody bothers to share such valuable tips. Thanks a lot Sharmaji !
Glad information is appreciated by people like you. Thank you so much!
Adjusting the steering was something I never thought of. Nice one
Thank you! Hope it helps you on your long drive.
Thanks for such a informative video , some questions .
1. Is the road straight , are there any hills and ghats on the way
2. Are you both vaccinated with 1 or both doses ? were you stopped and asked on road ? what about hotel ?
3. Any bad patches of road you travelled ?
4..do they check luggage on highway
Thanks
1. Roads are 85% straight despite Aravalli range in Rajasthan. 2. At the time, we just had one dose, hotel was okay with it and no one asks when you visit any monument/boat ride etc. 3. No bad patch of road at all, criuse confidently. 4. No checking on highway what so ever for luggage except for mask. Make sure every one in car has a mask on face or at least on chin. The fine for getting caught without it in Gujrat is INR. 1000+ ... hope you have a wonderful journey, stay safe!
Beautiful video. I've done loads of driving years ago. Now I wanna restart with my son. The physical fitness part really struck a chord there. Thanks for the eye opener. Are cars with litely tinted screens being let through across all the states for this trip? Did u see the cops being super sensitive?
Thank you! Personally, I don't have tinted glass so no experience. Only company fitted tinted glasses are permitted which are usually light shades, darker ones will definitely be pulled up especially when they'd notice car from another state. Hope you have a great journey!
Hi do we need an Rtpcr if we are travelling to Udaipur?We are fully vaccinated.
No, you'd not require RT-PCR report at all. Travel and visit places with no worry! Hope you have a glorious trip.
Nice vlog!!! Keep it up.
Thank you 🙏
Guys now it shows 14 hours on the map. That is from South Mumbai. Even If I was to try my best, it would be impossible to do it within 12 hours.
Real nice couples 😀
Sir, I am planning to go to Udaipur...do I have to keep RTPCR test ..
Not at all. No RT-PCR test is required on highway checkposts or tolls while crossing border from one state to another.
Thanks
Great....I love long driving....longer is better....I find that your input and tips for enjoying such trips ....particularly for all lovers of driving long distances......are very useful..... and some very critical information are important and based of direct experience ......keep guiding travellers in all sectors in your future trips...bless you.
Thank you so much :)
You could have easily got 20% more millage, had you not driven with the tank full. The weight the car carries and the milage are inversely proportionate
Good vlog though. Decent, and neatly narrated. Good luck, both of you.
Knowledgeable ....vdo but.... Les scenic view
