Bhopal to Hyderabad Road Trip - Second day of our 14 days long trip through east coast of India || Noida to Rameshwaram

On Day 2, we had planned to reach Nizamabad. However, the confidence that one food joint owner in Telangana expressed in us pushed us forward to Hyderabad. But more on that in a few minutes. For now, let us focus on the day's summary.

On Day 2 of our road trip to Rameshwaram from Noida, we had planned to reach Nizamabad. However, the confidence that one food joint owner in Telangana expressed in us pushed us forward to Hyderabad. But more on that in a few minutes. For now, let us focus on the day's summary.

We started our day early once again at 4 AM, and drove past the Satpura Reserve Forest, which was a little adventurous because the road was under construction. We decided to not let the events of the last evening dampen our spirits, and as if in order to help this thought further, Madhya Pradesh offered us the perfect place for breakfast right next to a stunning lake near Partapur. We had poha and tea there, while admiring some beautiful birds. This is where we also spotted our first Common Kingfisher.

On Day 2, we also crossed Maharashtra. We drove past Nagpur where we noticed orange orchards along the sides of the road and this is also where we noticed the first kapaas farms. And this is also where we were first stopped by the police. In fact, throughout the journey, this was the only time when we were stopped by the police. I (Vibha) was driving at this time and the policeman asked for my Driving License and the papers of the car. He made cursory inquiry about where we were headed. We answered "Rameswaram". He asked us the purpose and then commented that we have a long way to go. And after that he let us pass. And the roads here were quite bad too.

We crossed into Telangana at around 4 PM and had planned to stay at Nizamabad. Roads in Telangana were too good. The owner of the restaurant where we had our lunch told us that we can comfortably reach Hyderabad. This boosted our confidence and we decided to follow his advice. This would also mean that we would be able to make the next day more productive. 

So we continued past Nizamabad and Adilabad to Hyderabad. There we wanted to take a hotel that was close to the highway so that we wouldn't take much time in the morning. So we took the Hyderabad Outer Ring Road and spent the night at a hotel close to the Airport. As was our practice in this trip, we retired early. 

We had driven 850 kilometers that day and for almost 16 hours. It helped that both of us drive, otherwise this would not have been possible.
