On road to mumbai via Goa I want to stop for the night ,very close to mumbai, where shl I stp & wh hotel 2 sta

Answer 1

Midway between Mumbai and Goa comes somewhere near Chiplun - Ratnagiri. Secondly the road conditions between Mumbai till Poladpur is different than in the section between Poladpur - Goa. Till Poladpur, the road is almost on the sea-level. From there on, lots of ghat sections and lots of turns/curves.

The ideal night stop will be Mahad. You can start late from Mumbai. If you drive cautiously and within speed limits you will reach Mahad in about 4 hours from Mumbai ( Dadar ). Mahad is a city. There are several options for accomodation in the city. You will find Kamat's on the highway itself ( just opp the road which leads to the city), a bit ahead you will find a petrol pump and a nice stay option just besides the pump. ( Hotel Aram - if I remember correctly). It's a multi storey place with nice cafetaria on the ground floor.

If you stay at Mahad and start early from there, you will reach around lunch time ( max tea-time ) in Goa.

This plan looks good because you will be very fresh in the morning to tackle the ghat sections plus the natural light will be on your side - illuminating the turning road properly. And the traffic will be bit light in the early mornings than in the night.

Wish you a memorable tour.

Answer 2

If you want to enjoy the drive, go via Pune, Kolhapur. You will get good hotels on the way.

If you want to enjoy the scenery, take the regular Goa highway. You'll find some at Pen and in many other small towns on the way.
