Nagpur to Varanasi road status

[Chetan.thetiger]

Hello all,

I am planning to go to Varanasi from Nagpur on 21st October 2020 in my WRV. I am planning to go via Jabalpur-Rewa-Mirzapur-Varanasi. The only reason I choose this road is that I felt this is the shortest way.(NH highway)
I am totally not aware of the current road condition in this stretch. As I am the only driver, I wanted to choose the best option. I'll probably start at around 5 o'clock in the morning.

Any suggestions on this route?

This is what I am planning right now:

From	To	Distance	Time	Leave	Reach
Nagpur	Chindwara	132km	2:30​	5:00​	7:30​
Chindwara	Sioni	70km	1:30​	7:30​	9:00​
Sioni	Jabalpur	149km	3:00​	9:00​	12:00​
Jabalpur	Katani	104km	2:00​	12:00​	14:00​
Katani	Riva	137km	2:30​	14:00​	16:30​
Rewa	Mirzapur	163km	3:30​	16:30​	20:00​
Mirzapur	Varanasi	62km	2:00​	20:00​	22:00​

The journey is almost taking 17hrs, but I consider max hours by referring to google maps. The rest time of 1:30 hrs I still not added in the total journey.
So 17 hrs for 800 km is just too much for my liking, will definitely like to hear from you guys.

Nagpur-Khawasa-Seoni-Jabalpur-Katni-Rewa-Allahabad (Prayagraj)-Varanasi is the better route. Nagpur-Allahabad will take around 11 hours, you can take a night halt there, if tired.

Well, back in OCT2020 my travel plan got cancelled because of medical reason. But I travelled recently at end of Feb in my personal car.
I started from Amravati via Nagpur-Pench-Jabalpur-Rewa-Mirjapur-Varanasi. This has taken almost 15H to me. The road was horrible around Lalganj when you move towards Mirzapur. Except for that stretch, most of the road is 4 lane, maintaining 80-100km/hrs is not a big problem.
But during my return, I have taken Prayagraj road, from Varanasi via Prayagraj-Rewa-Jabalpur-Pench-Nagpur-Amravati. This route almost saved 2 hours for me.

Please note, If you want to go to Varanasi from Rewa via Prayagraj then after Rewa there will be the right turn for Varanasi, don't take that. Because that's the one via Mirzapur, follow the road towards Prayagraj.
