Hi to all the readers out there, as promised in my last post about my upcoming blog on a trip from Rajkot to Bokaro. I am here with my first day of the journey from rajkot to kota.
Day-1 01/04/2016
It was my father's birthday, our household goods was already departed for bokaro as my father got promoted and was posted to the new place. We were left only with our luggage and was meant to leave rajkot on 1st april. The distance from rajkot to bokaro was around 2200 kms as said by the google maps and we were ready to roll out on the roads. The reason(s) we opted to cover that distance by road was because of our 5 yr old labrador and moreover we all in the family loves to travel by road ;).
As planned we got up early at 5 in the morning, it was a pleasant morning with breeze blowing and a perfect climate to drive. We tried to keep as much low luggage as possible with ourselves but in the end it resulted in a surplus. It took around 45 mins to properly adjust the luggage in our car, and by the time we could have left it was already 7.15 am and the sun was clearly to be seen heading upwards in the sky. We all knew we would today be taking more time to cover the distance to kota as we usually take coz now we had a four legged passenger with us. As in my previous blogs i have mentioned about the road conditions of gujarat so it was treat to drive on these kind of roads, amazing roads and amazing driving experience as well, its like you are running a knife on butter.
I somehow managed to hit the speedometer at 120 kmph as my dog was a bit acclimatized to the car condition and was behaving normal. We did managed to cover 140 kms in 1 hr and 30 mins and had our breakfast at Limbdi. It was a stop of approx 45 mins as we had get our pet freshen up as well and it was a totally new place, it took some time to get relieved and that was the main reason why we all were concerned.We all started again and reached ahmedabad by-pass by 10.30 am. As it was a working day we encountered with some heavy traffic but the good part was it was moving one.We managed to cross gandhinagar by 11.30 pm and the target was set to have lunch at udaipur.
It was 4:45 pm by the clock and the sun has started to descend into the horizon, we got back in our places and rev upped the engine hard. From Chittorgarh the roads are again a treat to drive, Complete RCC roads and you will find very low traffic. We found one honda Jazz with whom it was an un said competition and in all this mashup all we achieved was that we managed to cover 100 kms in 55 mins. It was getting dark and the jazz was now no where to be seen.It was 6.30 pm and kota was 45 kms left. It was the time to switch on the head-lights and we could see the lights of kota from that distance. You always feel great when you are about to reach the place where you had spend the most of your summer vacations during the school days. I was about to meet my grandparents, uncle, aunt and cousin and the newly born niece.
We reached at our destination by 7.15 pm where my cousin has already planned for a surprise party as its was my father and aunt's birthday. We had our dinner and chit-chatted uptill 11.00 pm and at last our four legged member also got a place where it could relax completely.
Do read the next blog on our journey from kota to allahabad, which was completely a new route to discover.
Enjoy reading and keep sharing.

The roads were a pleasure to drive and in some patches i was able to touch 140 kmph. It was again the same route on which i had travelled 6-7 times and was familiar with the roads and rough patches. We reached udaipur by 1:45 pm after we found traffic jam while reaching udaipur as one truck had met an accident and had crossed the barricade but after all we were well in time and had our lunch there. We departed from udaipur at 3:00 pm and was set to reach Kota before the sun sets. The roads were good but not that great on which we had traveled while we were in gujarat. We had our evening tea after reaching chittorgarh. And also it was quite a long time for our four legged passenger to get freshen up.
