This March we relocated from Hyderabad to Dehradun. It is a long drive of over 2800 kms and schedule is as follows
Day 1- 250 km. started from Hyderabad ( AP) and Night halt at Nanded ( Maharashtra) famous for its Gurudwara. A wayside picnic brunch on the way.
Day 2- 350 kms. Night halt at Chalisgaon ( border of Gujarat and Maharashtra). On the way stopped for a while at the Daulatabad fort and crossed quaint Gujrati villages at Rajpipla where every house has a swing in the verandah. Good Practice.
