Yes sir , waiting for next year already

Thanks

🙏

Thank you

@@NitinSharma-xc2wc Yes you must visit

@@rt87817 Yes This video was shot in July.

@@rt87817 Will plan a winter trip sometime, thanks for the tip

@@rt87817 🙂

Thanks, In fact they are planning to make it 10 lane, work started in 2023 and they expect to finish it in 3 years, lets see how it goes.

Thank you. Video Setup: - DJI Action cam to record the windscreen shots + DJI Mic 2 - iPhone 14 Pro for others + Boya Wireless Mic (Audio quality of this mic is not so good however for RUclips beginners like myself it serves the purpose, I bought it after I received lot of comments about poor audio quality in my earlier videos ) To stick cam to the windshield I bought a Suction mount for action cam, it is light weight and serving the purpose for now.

Thanks 🙏

@@NH-2-NH If you have still not returned and have time at hand then from Goa go to kolhapur via Anuskura ghat to join the NH48. You will see wind mills on the top of the hills and the road itself is onthe ridge line giving you a feeling of driving on the top of the hills overlooking the valley. there is a reservoir also there of the vagothan. This place will give you the feel of the beas river in Himachal.

@@lbmallya Thanks for the tip, I came back in July. Will take this route next year.

Next time I will try

I do remember you there are hardly any comments on my videos :). If you are going towards North Goa the overall distance from the point you exit and lets say Candolim in Goa is around 160 Kms. You can divide this section into 3 parts The first 50 - 60 Kms while going to Goa absolutely fine you can take it anytime good roads. The last 60 Kms after Mollem police check post are also very good, that leaves us with around 40 Kms. In these 40 Kms you will find patchy roads for 5-10 Kms so you need to be careful. Keep the speeds slow, it is not as if the whole 40 Kms is bad some sections are bad. If you have a sedan or a low ground clearance car you just need to be extra careful. Also, leave Bangalore early so that you can cross this section during the day time. I took this road on 22 July so this is as latest update I can give. If you watch my Goa to Bangalore video I have taken the same route the bad patch sections are still there plus a few more due to monsoon. Leave your worries aside it is definitely doable.

Thanks a lot man. Will now take bangalore - Dharwad - Ramnagar - Anmod ghats - Calangute. I have a hatchback, so will be extra careful on the patchy roads. Also, your videos are really interesting as you give information that is absolutely needed. Thanks!

@@scu649 Let me know how did it go once you come back

Sure thing

Hello, Hope you're doing well. Just came back from goa and it is exactly the same situation of the road as you mentioned. Few kms before Molem were very patchy. Also NH48 is going through a lot of work here and there for patches. Had to make few diversions. Otherwise, it was a fun and scenic drive. However, weather in Goa was hotter than expected. So, could not do much in terms of sightseeing.

Enjoy the drive

Yes

@@NH-2-NH I was there 29,30 and 31.

It is RH only, inside shot is using front camera

Thank you 🙏

Thanks, Solo travel gives a different perspective.

@@NH-2-NH yes true...

Thank you, I realised it on 2nd day when someone corrected me. Apologies for not pronouncing it correctly.

@@NH-2-NH no need man..nice video waiting for the next part

Thanks for watching

True, it is a good and safe highway

Hello, 1. As long as you don't mind rains and few closed places Goa in Monsoon is a bliss. However, 15th August being a long weekend there could be some weekend crowd from Bangalore / Pune / Mumbai. Safety wise no issues at all. 2. Yes the ghat section is Arabail ghat section, it is the mildest ghat section you will encounter on your way to Goa. You can take it eyes closed, just watch out for potholes as rains would have taken it toll on the roads. 3. After you merge onto NH 66 at Ankola it is smooth sailing all the way till North Goa, except a section which goes through Madgaon city otherwise it is a bliss to drive on NH 66. Beware of the speed interceptors though roads are very good so you will be tempted to stretch your car's legs however exercise caution. Enjoy your trip. I just concluded a monsoon trip to Western Ghats and returned from Goa only via Mollem route. That route is in a bad condition around 25-30 Km stretch is not good.

Thanks a lot for the response. I was a li'l bit worried. Your words just did boost my confidence. All set for goa. Will surely update you accordingly. I follow your channel thoroughly. Keep making these videos. It helps a lot. Thanks once again mate!

One more query. While returning from Goa you took the Molem route by which I believe you took the Anmod ghat section. I was thinking to come back via Arabail ghat - Yellapur only. I understand it will be a long route and I am planning to halt in Chitradurga for the night and start from there next morning for Bangalore. Any suggestion/advice on the return would be really helpful. I will come back from North Goa only.

Thanks, a Monsoon series is coming soon.

You can take the Abarail ghat route again while coming back no issues at all. It is longer but less twisty and as it is NH better maintenance than subsidiary highways of NH.

Thank you

If I am not wrong Amboli ghat route is slightly longer. Also, as it is monsoon time roads could be tricky at the ghats so whatever route you take drive safe.

Assuming you are starting from North Goa you can take the route which I took i.e. Ponda - Anmod - Ramnagar - Hubli - Davangere. If you are heading towards Electronics City take NICE Road you will bypass the city.

Thanks. Best time to start would be 5:30 to 6 AM. You will beat Bangalore traffic and reach Hyderabad before evening traffic builds up there. Few options: Nandi Upchar Devanahalli Cube Stop Chikkaballapur Big Bay India | Highway Pitstop, Peresandra Food Pyramid, Kothakota

Thank you sir for the encouragement. I am using iPhone 14 Pro and a Boya mic.

Thanks 🙂

Thanks

Took around 40 mins till toll plaza, traffic was bad before toll plaza

March 2024

We went in the last week of March 2024, at that time night temperatures were 12-15 degrees and daytime was 25-28 degrees celcius

Thanks for watching

Thank you

I did not make the return video as the route was almost the same except the return is via Gudalur. As I mentioned in the video that non TN-43 cars are not allowed downhill via Masinagudi. Sharing the google map link of the same maps.app.goo.gl/hXKW1AFCwxN428vC8 Thanks for watching the video.

Afternoon was hot, evenings were cool. 25-28 C during afternoon 12-15 C during the night time

Glad it helped you plan your trip better, thanks for taking out time for encouragement really motivates me to make more trip videos

Thanks for sharing your memories, that must have been the best time to soak in the beauty of nature

@@NH-2-NH Watching Film Shootings of many languages in many locations in and around Ooty was a delight.
