We went to Ganpatipule last year, which is supposed to be close to Pune. We thought, it would take about 6 hours to reach by car. Well, we were in for a surprise. It took us 9 hours to reach there, and 10 hours to drive back. And guess what, we had a 16-month old toddler with us! Thankfully, we went there for 2 Nights 3 Days.
In retrospect, we did not have much trouble, during the journey. The little one and Momma occupied the backseat while Papa drove at stretch in peace. In fact, he slept also for quite sometime (I mean the little one, not his dad thank god, who was driving!).
This picture was clicked while on our way back when we stopped to feed the little one. If you will look at the road, you would wonder whether anybody goes that way. There weren't any streetlights too on the roads we took. It is a kachcha road for quite a stretch. We took help from the GPS every once in a while and such roads made us wonder if the GPS was really going to throw us off some cliff. But we just kept the faith and finally reached Pune at 8 pm.
Though I must also tell you that the GPS put us off the track once during this same trip when we reached a dead end and the lady (GPS) was insisting we take right and go into someone's rocky fields.
