[updated] Mumbai to Sawantwadi: Guide to NH4 Mumbai-Bangalore Highway

This is an updated Kms chart on the Mumbai - Sawantwadi route on the NH4, post opening of the Katraj bypass, as well as considering that Gadhinglaj leg of the route is better motorable than Uttur. So the route is as follows:

Mumbai-Pune-Satara-Karad-Kolhapur-Nippani-Sankeshwar-Gadhinglaj-Aajra-Amboli-Danoli-Sawantwadi.

I prefer to break the journey in two parts, to make it more enjoyable. I leave Mumbai at around 3 pm and reach Kolhapur by around 9-9:30 pm. Take a halt at hotel Rayson Regency in Kolhapur, stay overnight. Leave Kolhapur post breakfast at around 8 am, and reach Sawantwadi by around 11:30- 12 noon.
