Nagpur - Noida road trip of 1100 kms in 15 hrs in November 2016 by Hyundai i20 petrol
Roadie Shekhar Patil drove Nagpur to Noida (Nagpur-Noida) on the first Sunday of November 2016 in 15 hours in his Hyundai i20 petrol.
Total distance: 1100 kms.
Route: Nagpur - Chindwara - Sagar - Jhaṅsi - Gwalior - Morena - Agra - Delhi.
Took off from Nagpur - Betul road at Saoner.
Great road except Jhansi - Gwalior section which NHAI has possibly forgotten if it exists.
Nagpur - Betul toll road, according to him is one of the best stretches built by NHAI so far. He found it better then Yamuna Expressway.
Apparently this route has least facilities for highway users. One has to find a neat and clean dhaba for food with some difficulty. For restrooms, gas stations are the best bet.
However, there were good decent restaurants on Sagar Bypass and Lalitpur Bypass.
