Mumbai to Guwahati - Best Route

[chiragv]

Hello folks,

Im planing to ride from Mumbai to Guwahati in the coming days. Last time I rode this route was exactly 11 yrs back in 2009 via - Mumbai - Nagpur - Raipur - Kolkata - Siliguri and so on... The erstwhile NH6 was in a horrible state in Chattisgarh and Orissa back then, not to mention the naxal troubles and Kolkata - Siliguri traffic

Today, it seems there are more than a few options as per google and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on which would be the fastest/smoothest way to reach the other end.

Appreciate any inputs

These are the ones which come up on Google

1 - Mumbai - Indore - Jhansi -Kanpur - Muzzafarpur - Siiguri - Guwahati
2 - Mumbai - Indore - Sagar - Katni - Varanasi (Bypass) - Muzzafarpur - Siiguri - Guwahati
3 - Mumbai - Nashik - Jalna - Amravati - Jabalpur - Katni - Varanasi (Bypass) - Muzzafarpur - Siiguri - Guwahati
4 - Mumbai - Nashik - Akola -Amravati - Jabalpur - Katni - Varanasi (Bypass) - Muzzafarpur - Siiguri - Guwahati
5 - Random suggestion from a mate - Mumbai - Vizag - and take the eastern coastal road
-
Cheers!-

hello,
the route no.1 mentiones is the best as per the current circumstances as the complete road is in good condition. i have travelled on this particular road from nashik to kanpur and that entire journey was quite smooth .
the route no 2. is also ok although the patch from sagar to katni is two lane.
in route no 3. the road from mehkar to karanja is not in a good condition . also the road from nagpur to jabalpur is under construction phase
rest all is fine in route no. 4 as well.
