Started early at 05.00 hrs from Kolkata. Morning was pleasant, roads were clear. Took Belgharia Expressway to AH1/ NH19. 

Had yummy litti at Dhanbad. 

From Dhanbad to Bodhgaya, roads were smooth with some diversions owing to road expansion.

Overall ride was smooth and driving was fun. 

Dhabas were not very clean but tea served was excellent. Due to prevailing COVID situation they carried their own lunch. During the return passage they packed some sandwiches from the hotel in Varanasi.
