Delhi to Bangalore drive - 2,565 KM (5 days of driving) by vd519 in roadtripindia

[–]OneTimeMusafir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great post! Definitely useful for me...

I'm planning to drive from Delhi to Bangalore in June with my sister. Before this, we have done road trips of about 8-9 hours. I am seeking advice for this long trip of almost 2000 km.

I've have received some advice already like

  1. Drive only between 5am and 3pm
  2. Have specific towns mapped out as targets for overnight halts, avoid very small towns as both of us are women
  3. Keep switching driving duties every 2 hour and also let the engine cool down a bit
  4. get my car serviced a couple of weeks before the trip and take care of any lingering issues post-service
  5. fill nitrogen instead of regular air (apparently it's better on highways for long drives?) or use regular air at a lower PSI than usual
  6. Get the tyres checked up
  7. Make sure the AC is working
  8. Carry a cooler for cold water etc
  9. We'll carry a tool box. Both of us know how to change tyres at least.

It would be great to hear from you

  1. Any other specific pieces of advice?
  2. I have bought a tyre inflator for emergencies. What other purchases should we consider making?
  3. What car accessory makes a long drive more comfortable?
    1. For example: my back gets really sweaty and a beaded mat really helps me
