College time was the best time to explore places. Every
weekend, we friends used to plan a road trip and explore a new place. In the
last year, of our college we planned a road trip to Mumbai from Delhi. Mumbai is
approximately 1,400 KMs away from Delhi.
We calculated that how much days, it would take us to reach
Mumbai. We took 60 KMPH as the average speed with which the time came out to be
24 hours. If we drive non-stop, then it would take us 1 day to reach Mumbai which
was practically not possible for us. We were five friends, out which four knew
how to drive. The maximum duration for which one could drive continuously, was
4 hours. Other than driving, we had to sleep at night and take stops for meals.
We concluded that, it would take us 2 days to reach Mumbai.
Two days before our travel, we gathered all the required stuff. We bought
chips, biscuits, bread, jam, butter, soft drinks and beer. The beer was only
for the night before dinner. We friends don’t drink and drive. The route was
easy to find as we all had navigation
software in our mobile.
I took my car for the trip, so all of us decided to meet at
my place. I turned on the navigation
software in my mobile to find the nest route. The route which we took was:
New Delhi -> Jaipur -> Ajmer -> Udaipur (sleeping
point) -> Vadodara -> Surat -> Mumbai
We decided that we will take a lodge, when we will reach
near Udaipur and sleep there. We started our journey, with a Facebook check-in.
We got many likes and comment for the check-in. As planned, when we reached Udaipur
we took a lodge and stayed there. In the night, we had beer and played cards
and slept late. We got up late in the morning because of the hangover, so we
decided to see Udaipur and continue our journey to Mumbai tomorrow.
We saw many palaces and museums in Udaipur and had a lot of
fun. We decided that we will not drink today, as we had to leave early in the
morning tomorrow for Mumbai. We woke up at 7 AM in the morning and continued
our journey.
It took us 22 hours to reach Mumbai. We took a hotel for 2
nights / 3 Days in Mumbai. We saw Gateway of India, Taj Hotel, Siddhivinayak
Temple, Mahalaxmi Temple, Haji Ali Dargah, Marine Drive, Juhu Beach and many more places in
Mumbai. If we had to plan this road trip without a navigation software, than it
would have been impossible for us to reach Mumbai in 22 hours.
