This road and ghat seems to be peace and fine for first time drivers...what do u recommend for first time driver...im not much used to ghats .. toward north goa
@@preeti343ify You can follow this route maps.app.goo.gl/Av4veYk7XqZHjqMZA. I took this route 20 days back, apart from 10-15 Kms before Goa the roads are perfect. The 10-15 Kms patch can be done if you drive slowly it is not good but manageable. Ghat section you can safely take just drive slow it is not difficult to drive.
Nice video and and especially your calm and soothing narration :-) I drive to Goa almost every year . We should do a road trip to Goa together . Fortuner and Jeep better together 😂
Informative video, im planning to travel from whitefield to madgaon next weekend. Please suggest at route and please tell me what time should i start to reach the destination by evening..
You can take the same route I took, only unknown would be the traffic situation near Karwar because one side of the bridge over river Kali got destroyed during the monsoon and they are diverting traffic on one side only. Apart from this route is good, do watch for random potholes as roads are yet to be laid again post the rainy season. My recommendation would be to start early anytime between 5-6 AM should be fine, if you do this you can enjoy sunset in Goa. Happy journey.
Hello, Thanks for the route. Planning to take this route to North Goa during August 15. This will be my first time to Goa by road. The less the ghat section, the better. Two questions: 1. Is it fine to travel during August 15 (I am fine with few places being closed as leisure is the motive). 2. The name of the ghat via yellapur is Arbail ghats, right? Also, planning to come back to bangalore by thia route only.
Hello, 1. As long as you don't mind rains and few closed places Goa in Monsoon is a bliss. However, 15th August being a long weekend there could be some weekend crowd from Bangalore / Pune / Mumbai. Safety wise no issues at all. 2. Yes the ghat section is Arabail ghat section, it is the mildest ghat section you will encounter on your way to Goa. You can take it eyes closed, just watch out for potholes as rains would have taken it toll on the roads. 3. After you merge onto NH 66 at Ankola it is smooth sailing all the way till North Goa, except a section which goes through Madgaon city otherwise it is a bliss to drive on NH 66. Beware of the speed interceptors though roads are very good so you will be tempted to stretch your car's legs however exercise caution. Enjoy your trip. I just concluded a monsoon trip to Western Ghats and returned from Goa only via Mollem route. That route is in a bad condition around 25-30 Km stretch is not good.
Thanks a lot for the response. I was a li'l bit worried. Your words just did boost my confidence. All set for goa. Will surely update you accordingly. I follow your channel thoroughly. Keep making these videos. It helps a lot. Thanks once again mate!
One more query. While returning from Goa you took the Molem route by which I believe you took the Anmod ghat section. I was thinking to come back via Arabail ghat - Yellapur only. I understand it will be a long route and I am planning to halt in Chitradurga for the night and start from there next morning for Bangalore. Any suggestion/advice on the return would be really helpful. I will come back from North Goa only.
You can take the Abarail ghat route again while coming back no issues at all. It is longer but less twisty and as it is NH better maintenance than subsidiary highways of NH.
If I am not wrong Amboli ghat route is slightly longer. Also, as it is monsoon time roads could be tricky at the ghats so whatever route you take drive safe.
After the Kali river bridge fell down a couple of months ago I am not sure how the traffic is diverted on the single carriageway however, if you are going to the Southern tip of Goa such as Palolem you can follow the same route which I took in this video. Just take care of the potholes In the Yellapur ghat stretch. If you are going to central part e.g. Benaulim you can take the Anmod ghat road, I took this road 2 months back during peak monsoon, it was fine except few patches, drive slow and you should be fine. Basically you need to go towards Ramnagar then take the Anmod ghat, Doodhsagar road till Ponda and then proceed towards your destination.
From Electronic City nice road is the starting point and condolim beach is the end point going with family and my car is swift dizire 9 year old 😀 so please suggest which road should I have to take
@@raghunandhanroy8236 You are going to North Goa, so you can take the following route Nice Road - Tumkur - Davangere - Hubli - Anmod - Ponda - Candolim . You can take a look at this link maps.app.goo.gl/p662dbs8piMTCwyt5
@@raghunandhanroy8236 Road is little patchy on the Anmod Ghat side however you will be able to navigate it without any issues, just be watchful of few potholes but nothing worrying. Enjoy your trip.
Hello, Hope you remember me from my previous comments on this video. I was planning to take the same route you suggested. However, I got the recent news of Kali bridge being broken in Karwar causing a road closure from Karwar to Goa. Can you please help me in this regard please? Will Anmod ghat be a good option at this time? Kindly refer to my previous comments as well and help me with a solution. Thank you so much!
I do remember you there are hardly any comments on my videos :). If you are going towards North Goa the overall distance from the point you exit and lets say Candolim in Goa is around 160 Kms. You can divide this section into 3 parts The first 50 - 60 Kms while going to Goa absolutely fine you can take it anytime good roads. The last 60 Kms after Mollem police check post are also very good, that leaves us with around 40 Kms. In these 40 Kms you will find patchy roads for 5-10 Kms so you need to be careful. Keep the speeds slow, it is not as if the whole 40 Kms is bad some sections are bad. If you have a sedan or a low ground clearance car you just need to be extra careful. Also, leave Bangalore early so that you can cross this section during the day time. I took this road on 22 July so this is as latest update I can give. If you watch my Goa to Bangalore video I have taken the same route the bad patch sections are still there plus a few more due to monsoon. Leave your worries aside it is definitely doable.
Thanks a lot man. Will now take bangalore - Dharwad - Ramnagar - Anmod ghats - Calangute. I have a hatchback, so will be extra careful on the patchy roads. Also, your videos are really interesting as you give information that is absolutely needed. Thanks!
Hello, Hope you're doing well. Just came back from goa and it is exactly the same situation of the road as you mentioned. Few kms before Molem were very patchy. Also NH48 is going through a lot of work here and there for patches. Had to make few diversions. Otherwise, it was a fun and scenic drive. However, weather in Goa was hotter than expected. So, could not do much in terms of sightseeing.

Is the bakapura to yallapur road still in bad condition ?
It was in bad condition earlier + Monsoon would have played its part in road deterioration so if you have a choice better to avoid.
