      Chennai – Hyderabad is another fantastic 4-lane road on the Golden Quadrilateral from Vijayawada to Chennai of around 450 km. The road then connects to Hyderabad through a single lane undivided highway, which seems to have been alluringly designed with greeneries on both the sides.

      The bandwagon of few best roads in the country is then joined by the Gangtok – Nathula highway. The capital of Sikkim is a great place with natural scenic beauty and the trip to Nathula, passing the Indo - China border, can be refereed as a treat to the senses.

The city is well known for its fun, colour and frolic, and experiencing all these on decent roads with passing buildings and beautiful churches exhibiting Portuguese architecture makes it a real treat. Travelling in a ferry from Old Goa to Divar Island seems to be a surreal journey, which leaves the individuals enthralled.

The terrific drive goes through state highways and deserted roads to reach Pelling, which is situated in West Sikkim. The complete journey happens to be an alluring display of different shades of green and variety of flora.

      With all these roads, it can be said that the individuals can buy good cars in their respective states, but to experience the real fun in them, they have to go beyond and look for these places.
