Kharghar - Shirdi - Kharghar road trip in Hyundai i10 in October 2021 by Karan Patani. 

Kharghar to Shirdi via Goti, 258kms. 

Road are in decent condition from Thane junction to Asangaon and excellent from Shahpur till diversion for Goti. A few kms into the diversion has a lot of construction work and after that very smooth until sinner. From Sinnar to Shirdi, roads are very smooth and patchy every few kms with a lot of diversions and construction work. And last 5km to Shirdi is in very bad shape.
Started arnd 7.30 am on Saturday morning and reached Shirdi at 2.30 pm with a 45 min breakfast halt and 1hr diversion at Bhavali backwater.
Driving time 5.15 hrs. 

Shirdi to Kharghar via Nashik, 298kms. 
Started Shirdi on a Sunday noon around 12.30 pm and took the road parallel to Shirdi Airport towards Nashik. This patch was a single lane road and in good state. A few kms before you hit the NH160 highway, a lot of craters on smooth road, so need to be cautious on this patch. NH160 was ultra smooth till Nashik. Reached Nashik at 2.30 pm.
Lunch at Sadhana Chulivarchi Misal followed by juice at Jalsa Juice corner.
Started from Nashik at 4.30 pm and reached home by 8.20 pm with a 10 min halt. Roads are in excellent state till Shahpur and decent till Bhiwandi. Followed by regular city traffic from there on.
Driving time 5.50 hrs
