You cross 17 toll plazas across Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra. For a car the published fees add up to ₹1,385 one way, about ₹1.51 per km, which is on the expensive side for Indian highways. 6 plazas on this route do not publish fees in the NHAI dataset; budget about ₹480 extra to be safe.
At 15 h 45 min of realistic driving time, plan an overnight halt roughly halfway — two drivers sharing the wheel is the safer option if you must do it in one day.
Lonavala is a hill destination: the last stretch climbs ghat roads, where mileage drops by roughly 15–25% and speeds fall sharply. Our fuel figures use flat-road mileage, so add a buffer.
