Either Nizamabad or Adilabad.

Both are very decently size cities and will have good hotels.

It takes 16 to 18 hours depending on the breaks you take. No matter how early you start from Bangalore, the Maharashtra leg of the route comes after sunset and the road conditions really slow you down. Also, the road work and bridge work at Medchal.

Just did BLR to Nagpur and Drive time was about 14hrs and took breaks for Breakfast, Lunch, Fuel, Dinner totalling to 4.5 hrs. started BLR south at 530am and reached north Nagpur at midnight. Some notable points
1. BLR to Hyd ORR road is good with some irritating speedbrakers around anantpur and 2-3 diversion which are not kept well.
2. ORR exit to Adilabad is in great shape, flyover construction in Medchal is a pain to cross but post that its very smooth. one thing to note is that the toll booths are very badly maintained and passing thru them was always a pain with frequent back and forth to detect the tag
3. Adilabad to Jamb had an ok surface anda good set of potholes for about 5-10kms. Good news is that its getting repaired. toll booths are again heavy and very badly maintained. Maybe i was driving XUV700 so didnt feel much
4. Jamb to nagpur is all fine
5. Fuel is cheaper in MH and KA, you can tank up in BP COCO chikballapur and then in pandharkawda MH.
6. much needed Food recommendation with clean toilets on HYD NAG stretch - https://maps.app.goo.gl/CmVHtkS54Fgfr5Zz6

I rode down from Nagpur to Hyderabad about a week back on the NH44.

Its fine, no issues.

Someone told me that there are now new fixed speed camera on the Telangana section of NH44. Has anyone here seen those?

Earlier there used to be mobile (car mounted) speed cams at different spots between Kamareddy and Armur

I did this section 2 weeks ago. Didn't meet any mobile speedcams. Did see fixed speedcams at quite a few places, but these were mostly around junctions and crossings.

The road was fine.

Thanks for the update.

This is new then, on my past drive on this route about 6 months back I did see fixed CCTVs but those were not speed cams. Those are used for surveillance.

How did you make out the fixed cams as speed cams? Did they have a speed display or any other way to recognize?

They had speed display, but only one board, so I couldn't figure out whether they were displaying the speed of only the rightmost-lane vehicle, and would they detect the speeds of the middle and leftmost lanes too.

A quick update from my recent drive on this stretch:

Most of the notorious Pimpalkhuti (TG-MH border) - Hinganghat stretch has been freshly re-laid - was a pleasant surprise to me, although lane markings are yet to be done. Not a whole of options when it comes to eating joints on the Hyderabad - Nagpur stretch. There are a few resorts close to Tipeshwar WLS but do not expect quick service. We had lunch at one such resort (Tiger Tales) and the food was awesome, although they took their own sweet time to prepare it.
