Driving directions- Nashik to Mandu
by bkarjee
The distance between Nashik and Maheshwar (in MP) should be in the range of 350 KMs. I think it is possible to complete this stretch in 7-8 hrs. Since two of you are driving, it should not be an issue. The road to Maheshwar and Omkareshwar starts from Dhamnod (if you are coming from Nashik NH-3, take a right turn at Dhamnod. It is well marked). Actually, the Dhamnod-Maheshwar stretch is roughly 15 kms and Omkareshwar is further east, another 50 KMs. The NH-3 is quite busy in Maharashtra. Traffic dwindles in MP and picks up again at Dhar distt. Motels along the highway is not at all an issue. If u r planning to stop for b/f at Nashik, you may do so at Sai Palace hotel-my favorite. It is right on the highway, after Toyota show room. Lunch can be had at Dhule. But if you are planning to reach Maheshwar on the evening of day-1, better don't waste much time. Just take short breaks.Omkareshwar...
