Hello all and thank you for reading and sharing my previous blogs.
In this blog I will share my experience from kota to allahabad.
Day 2 02/04/2016
After having a sound sleep and series of conversation with uncle, aunt and cousin brother the previous day till 1'o clock, it was not possible for us to start the next leg of our journey early. We woke up at 7:30 am and realized that we are quite late enough to depart. We did all our morning course and final meetings with grandpa, grandma, uncles, aunts & cousin and left at 9:00 am.This day we had to reach to allahabad any how to keep the schedule as planned. It was a journey of about 720 kms and the thought of crossing madhya pradesh was a concern as we all had a perception that roads in MP are not that good. The road till shivpuri was of RCC which is around 235 kms from kota. All though the RCC roads were not that great as it was from chittorgarh and had potholes and patch work. But we were able to cross that patch well within 3 hrs. One thing which has to be said about the roads in MP that the newly constructed roads were a treat to drive on. Not a single pothole and patch work you will find on these roads and one can easily cruise on whatever speed they are comfortable with. I was able to reach 140 kmph and other thing was you can easily maintain that speed for as long as you want. The ghat section before shivpuri is another treat to drive through. All though the surrounding greenery was not that green enough but still it was good scenery to look at.
The next stop decided was at Jhansi for our lunch, it was 12:15 pm the time we crossed shivpuri and jhansi was almost 100 kms from here,Our four legged passenger was also enjoying the hiccup free drive and was comfortably enjoying through the window. The moment you reach the outskirts of jhansi the road condition starts to deteriorate and soon you will find yourself among potholes. Jhansi bypass was under construction and we had to cross through the city which was cramped. We halted at a small dhaba for our and our pet's lunch and started after 50 mins of break. It was 2:45 pm and still allahabad was quite distant from this place. We got fuel tank full and started again. My all passengers were taking small naps in between and lost their nap the moment we entered the state limits of UTTAR PRADESH. How can one take a sound sleep on these kind of roads, full of potholes and crests -troughs and patchwork. Allahabad was still 350 kms and we had thought when we will be reaching our destination if the road conditions would be like this. JHANSI to ORAI was really a though patch to cover. From no where it seems to be a national highway, but yes it was NH-2. From bhognipur we had to merge onto SH-46 which will take us to fathepur and from there we will be merging onto AH-1. The State highway was just a two lane road but had light traffic which somewhat made easy us to cruise,as after failing to cover the distance on NH-2 in that time we had some expectation from UP government on which they stood sound. It was 5'o clock and we merged onto AH-1. The moment you merge on Asian Highway-1 you had a smile on your face and a feeling of relaxation and you know the kilometers will be less now to cover on a such a fantastic road. Our four legged passenger was now relaxed and slept so comfortably as if it is sleeping in its house.
It was the second leg of the journey.

It was 6:45 pm and started to get dark, our destination was still 50 kms and we decided to look for some hotel on the highway itself as going into the allahabad city and searching for a hotel there which would our pet to accompany with us would be mammoth task. Luckily we found one which was 30 kms short of allahabad and the owner also allowed our pet to check in with us. It was 7:30 pm and we ended our journey for that day. We had enough time to get relaxed for the next day drive.
It was the second leg of the journey.
Third and the last leg of this journey coming soon.
