Mumbai to Goa in RECORD 10 Hours on NH-66 | 2024 Mumbai-Goa Highway NH-66 Progress

Welcome to a very special episode of "Relaxing Weekend Drives"! In this exhilarating video, we take you along our unforgettable journey from the bustling city of Mumbai to the serene beaches of Goa. We embarked on this adventure at the crack of dawn, leaving Mumbai at 5 AM, and set off on the picturesque NH-66 highway, covering approximately 530KM in about 10 to 11 hours of non-stop driving.

🌟 What to Expect in This Video:
- Road Conditions: We provide a detailed look at the actual road conditions of NH-66, which is vital information for those planning a trip to Goa during the October to December tourist season.
- Stunning Scenery: Experience the breathtaking landscapes of the Konkan region, featuring mesmerizing sunrises and even some heavy rain showers that added to the adventure.
- Food Stops: Discover all the delightful places we stopped for breakfast, lunch, and snacks along the way, showcasing local delicacies that you won't want to miss!
- Our Stay in Goa: We give you a sneak peek of our first accommodation in Candolim, North Goa, setting the stage for our upcoming explorations.

🛣️ The Mumbai-Goa Highway:
This trip is particularly exciting as it takes place during the development of the Mumbai-Goa Expressway, a massive infrastructure project designed to enhance connectivity and travel convenience. The expressway will span 471 km and is set to connect various key locations, including Panvel, Pen, and Margao, while boosting property prices in the area by 10-15%

The route runs from Panvel to Pen, Mangaon, Mahad, Poladpur, Khed, Chiplun, Ratnagiri, Lanja, Rajapur, Kankavli, Kudal, Sawantwadi, Panaji, Canacona, and Margao. The highway, running parallel to the Western Ghats, continues to the country's southern coastal districts, connecting other important states such as Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu until terminating at Kanyakumari.

Originally proposed in 2016, the expressway is designed to mirror the stunning coastal routes of California and is expected to be completed by December 2024. We highlight its route that traverses through charming towns and lush landscapes, running parallel to the majestic Western Ghats, and connecting major southern states including Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu.

Just for everyone who is planning for Pune to Goa. I recently drove to GOA from Pune and came back. (24th Dec'24 to 2nd Jan'25.)

Timing is the Key while choosing the Nipani - Amboli Ghat or Karad-Anushkura Ghat route.
If you are leaving Pune around 4am to 6am. Then without any doubt go via Kolhapur- Nipani- Amboli Ghat. only 2-3 places you will find 5 minutes congestion due to Road work. Straight roads till Amboli, so if you have Kids or Elderly people then they will enjoy the drive as there are few Ghat roads..

If you are choosing any time later to leave from Pune then Anushkura ghat is the only option as the Kolhapur to Nipani will have many diversions due to road works which will cause 1 hr delay.

On your return from GOA, always choose Karad - Anushkura Ghat road. As the Nipani to Kolhapur road has a lot of construction work which get started after 9am..

Hope this helps.

To avoid high toll rate of mumbai - pune express highway, you should take old mumbai pune road upto khalapur, which is also in very good condition.
