By Car

Fairly good roads connect Bombay to most major cities and tourist areas. Although using a hired car and driver affords you the chance to watch the often beautiful surroundings whiz by, it can also be a slow, noisy, frequently hair-raising experience. If you have the time and the nerves for it, you'll experience what many people miss when they fly. Some distances from Bombay: Pune, 162 kilometers (101 miles); Panaji (Goa), 597 kilometers (373 miles); Ahmedabad, 545 kilometers (341 miles); Hyderabad, 711 kilometers (444 miles).
