A road trip from Mumbai to Goa remains the top choice for Mumbaikars, and all those who are keen to travel to Goa via road. This road trip will be an exciting one, with Western Ghats painting the route from end to end. There are two routes to cover this trip - one is the Pune-Kolhapur route via NH4, which you can cover in 10 hours if you drive non-stop, whereas the other one is for thrill seekers, via NH66, and can be covered in 12 hours non-stop.

Plus, if you have time to spare, you can halt at a tea garden to enjoy a refreshing cup of tea and get that extra energy boost.

This road trip means covering more than one destination in a go. As you set off on this road trip, you get to explore three historically and culturally diverse cities of Delhi, Jaipur, and Agra.
