Did a Blr Pune Blr trip on a weekend in mid June 2024.
Onward journey route: Bangalore - Solapur - Pune
Day01 - Blr | Chitradurga | Hosapete - Vijayanagar | Solapur

3:30pm Hotel City Park Solapur.
Day 02 - Departure at 9:00am from Solapur

Excellent highways throughout this Blr Pune route with less traffic. Downside being, not enough decent rest stops which can make the trip a bit boring and tiring.
Return journey route - Pune Kolhapur Blr
Day 01 Pune | Satara | Kolhapur | Belgaum

These route had a lot of heavy traffic and diversions almost uptill Davangere. Although was aware of it and despite anticipating all these, we still took this route as it was a familiar option having travelled several times in the last few years, and especially for the better rest stop options for families.
Total distance covered - 1764 kms
Fuel - 140 litres
Toll expenses
Blr to Pune via Solpur - INR1270

Hotel reviews-
Hotel City Park Solapur - Located in the heart of Solapur, off the Blr Pune highway. INR3000 per night for 3 persons, AC room, no electric kettle and complimentary tea/coffee, pathetic staff attitude and dirty washrooms with soiled commodes. Totally avoidable.
Hotel Sankam Residency, Belgaum - 2kms off the Pune Blr highway. INR4000 for 3 persons, inclusive of breakfast. 3 star property, excellent rooms and awesome food, especially the breakfast. Complimentary tea/coffee and snacks with electric kettle in room as well as full range of toiletries. Great staff attitued and service as well. Highly recommend.
