Can be reached via.
Charmadi Ghat or
Shiradi Ghat or
Bisle Ghat.

It's best to use Charmadi Ghat or Shiradi Ghat. The road surface via Charmadi Ghat was better than Shiradi Ghat, as in November 2019.
Roads are satisfactory.  Beware of sudden speed breakers at places. Some road repair and construction work takes place almost round the year. Avoid driving at night and during heavy rains.
The journey takes about 7 - 8 hrs, including a few short stops.
