Ahmedabad To Jodhpur By Road
The purpose of my writing this post is to provide an idea to people who are planning to travel from Ahmedabad to Jodhpur via road in car or on a bike. I travelled on my bike Yamaha R15.
Distance Travelled- 460 Kms.
Time Taken- 6 Hrs including a lunch break and a few Photography halts.
The Route. Red pins are the important Landmarks of the trip.
Route Taken ---Ahmedabad - Chandkheda - Mehsana Toll Highway - Mehsana - Palanpur - Abu Road - Pali-Jodhpur.
The roads right from Mehsana highway to Abu Road are really very good its a four lane highway, two lanes for each direction. The journey is a pleasure and can be taken very easily on bike or in car. My usual riding speed was 130-135 Kms/hr, though I would not recommend to ride at such speeds on bike. Just carry a little water nothing much needs to be carried as there are a lots of places where one can buy stuff on the way. If asked for my view I would say an overcast is the best weather to travel but if you are in car, it weather won't make much of a difference. The road after Abu Road is a two lane National Highway no more dividers. The road is ok. Ok does not mean bad but it is not as good as Mehsana to Abu Road one.
The distances and directions written on the way are very very clear so there is never a need to Ask for directions, however if you are carrying a GPS then nothing like it. Please be careful about the signs reading populated area ahead slow down, follow these signs they are really well placed and warn you well before U can make a mistake. Slow down wherever written accident prone zone because they really are and I experienced it myself that slowing down was necessary there.
It will take you no time to reach Sirohi, an average driver takes approximately 4 Hrs to reach Sirohi from Ahmedabad, where I would recommend to take a lunch break at Baba Ramdev Restaurant which is actually a Dhaba. This is a nice and hygienic place with some nice facilities. There is also a hotel with the same name where one can halt if too tired to carry on for the journey. From this dhaba it takes approximately 2 or 2 1/2 Hrs to reach Jodhpur.
Baba Ramdev Restaurant and Hotel Sirohi. 
Please Ask for directions here at the Dhaba as there is a turn to be taken for National Highway to Jodhpur.
On the way there are a few picturesque locations where you can take a halt for photography. There are a plenty of company operated filling stations on the way so one need not worry about fuel though its always recommended to have a safe quantity always in your tank when on a journey.
Above are a few of my halts. Hope this was Helpful. You can say thanks by posting comments. :) . Have Fun.
