Pune to Delhi and back, 3500 kms road trip in Tata Nexon by Jaykumar Bharadwaj between end April to early June 2018















Jaykumar Bharadwaj is based out of Pune. He owns a Nexon XZ+ Diesel bought in December 2017.

Event: Cousin's marriage in May 2018.

Location: Delhi.

That was reasons enough for a 3500 kms long road trip.
Total of 4 passengers including himself, the only driver.

Started from Pune on 28th April 2018. Returned to Pune on 7th June 2018.

Onward route: Pune - Nashik - Chittorgarh - Jaipur - Delhi.
Distance from Pune to Delhi via Chittorgarh was 1,600 kms approx.
Return route: Delhi - Pushkar - Chittorgarh - Nashik - Pune.
Maximum distance driven on any single day during the trip was 950 kms. 

Sight seeing stops were at Chittorgarh and Jaipur.

Hotels recommended for stay with family:
Hotel Meera, Chittorgarh.

Hotel The Leisure Inn, Jaipur.
There's a nice South Indian resturant in front and also a coffee shop. Must try kullhad vaali lassi with malaai, somewhere near Raj Mandir. Have Pyaaj ki Kachori as well.

Fuel expense: Approx ₹10,500
Mostly drove at a constant speed of 80 kmph, no over speeding.

Car was super comfortable for all. There was very little fatigue. In spite of the extreme summer, AC worked very well and the rear blower was a blessing. Had magnetic screen for windows that really helped to keep away the glare and heat of 42 degrees Celsius in Delhi.
Cooled glovebox enabled stocking of chilled cans of Pepsi. Bottle holder on all the doors helped storing enough water.
