• Epic Road Trip: Ford F...
Car has performed flawlessly and is now overdue for 3rd service at 20400 km. The car feels very planted and smooth even at very high speeds but lethargic at low RPMs. The comfort level is very high and dont feel tired even after long drive but could do better with more torque at low RPM. Mileage is decent by petrol standard at 16 kmpl driven mostly on highways but could be better. Ford needs to work on the headlight reflectors. There is complaint on the reflectors and it gives poor throw and is a safety issue in an otherwise safe car by Indian Standard.
Route Taken for Onward Journey-
Gadag-Raichur-Mabubnagar-Hyderabad-Nehru Ring Road- Vijaywada - Rajahmhundry-Vizag - Bhubaneshwar-Kharagpur-Kolkata-Bardhaman-Khargram-Farakka-Malda-Raiganj-Botolbari-Silliguri-Alipurduar
Return Journey Route- Alipurduar - Silliguri - Dalkhola - Purnea - Bhagalpur- Dumka - Asansol - Kolkata - Kharagpur - Bhubaneshwar- Vizag- Vijaywada-Hyderbad- Raichur-Gadag
Due to heavy traffic, it is advisable to cover Vijaywada-Vizag stretch at night. Vijaywada is a pain to cross during day. Vizag is a pain to cross at peak hours. Watch out for Barricades all over Highways in Andhra. Vijaywada to Vizag road is smooth but the reverse side is potholed. Avoid Overtaking from left side in Odisha and West Bengal. Bardhaman to Khargram about 20km is heavily potholed but Bhagalpur to Dumka is worse and distance is more. Avoid driving Dumka to Asansol late at night.
Bhubaneshwar to Cutttack is easy cross at all times of the day due to good planning of the highways. Cuttack to West Bengal is the fastest and smoothest stretch apart from Nehru Ring Road Hyderbad Bypass which is six to eight laned glory. Managed to register fastest drive on my Ford Figo at 155kmph on this stretch but didnt have courage to go beyond. Car can go beyond this speed.
Driving through West Bengal will always be a challenge but good days ahead as apart from Bardhaman to Khargram the road is four laned till Raiganj. Take Botolbari route to avoid Dalkhola and exit just before Islampur to continue to Silliguri four laned road. Exit 4 laned road after Bagdogra at Ghoshpukur to Fulbari to bypass Silliguri city and continue on to Alipurduar.
Avoid blindly following Google especially while taking bypass or shortcuts. When in doubt ask the truckers.
Special Thanks to HVK and Rout o maps for proper planning of Trip.
