About Maharashtra
The highway runs south through Vadodara and Surat into Maharashtra. Mumbai is about 13–15 hours from Rajkot, and Nashik and Shirdi are a similar distance by different roads.
These are long trips, so we often plan them with an overnight halt in Surat or Vapi, or as one-way drops for relocations and family moves.
