Driving from Vadodara to Noida, was an Bliss ! Had decided to visit my Parents in Noida for Diwali, by my new owned Car Hyundai Xcent, Petrol. Had always loved driving on long route, now since i own a Car, such long drive would be a regular feature of our lives ! ( Already planned for Vadodara to Mumbai , Vadodara to GOA !!! )
So, we started our journey at 0200 Hrs from Vadodara, I chose this time ,as i’m more comfortable in driving at night than day !, simply coz I hate day time traffic. And reached Gurgaon at around 1800 Hrs. Had forgot to take the Pre-Diwali rush into account ! and it took me about 3.5 Hrs to reach noida from Gurgaon ! . Apart from this last leg, every thing else was smooth. Had taken enough Sandwiches / fruits / Water / Juices / RED BULL (to keep me awake and alert, it worked though)
Roads from Vadodara to Jaipur are great, loved driving on this entire stretch. No Issues were encountered at any Point of time, as the Roads were clear and well laid out. If any one trying this Trip in future, plan without a Fuss, but be ready to pay the Toll of your Life ! Yep, I had to pay about 1000 /- in various Tolls, ranging from INR 25 to INR 125/- .
Only Issue comes when you reach Jaipur city, there is a By Pass at Jaipur, which is very very congested. The Jaipur – Delhi highway is under repair at several locations, so it took us almost 5-6 Hrs to cover 250 Kms.
Be careful in driving at high speeds at Jaipur – Delhi Highway, you won’t know when a pot hole or broken road will appear and that will be enough to damage your vehicle . So advised – not to get tempt to press the pedal !
