Jaipur to Kolkata along NH39?

ad_ccu · 6th September 2024, 12:21

Hi BHPians!
I am planning to drive from Jaipur to Kolkata along NH39 in Sep2024.
The route I have planned is Jaipur - Jhansi - Rewa - Ranchi - Jamshedpur - Kolkata. Most of the route is along NH39.
With torrential rains & floods condition of many patches on the highways are a concern.
Has anyone traveled sections on this route? I am worried about the Rewa - Singrauli - Gahrwa patch. Google shows a stretch of 550KM likely to take over 12 hours. That's a big worry.
Any advice / guidance would be very helpful.

Why drive that route when the Jaipur-Agra-Lucknow-Benaras-Kolkata, or even Jaipur-Agra-NH19-Kolkata highway exists as much superior road?

Hi SS-Traveller .... Sir I have travelled the NH19 route many a times.
I have a need to visit Jhansi, Singrauli and Jamshedpur. Hence was trying to figure out this route. 5 years ago I had driven on this route, and the experience was quite pathetic. Hence trying to figure out.
