Nashik is the closest long-drive destination from Mumbai. At just 165 km, the Mumbai-Nashik drive takes about 3.5 hours via the NH48 and Mumbai-Pune Expressway. It is the perfect weekend trip for families.
Route
Mumbai → Pune Expressway → Lonavala → Karjat (ghat) → Khed → Nashik.
Stops
- Lonavala — Chikki shops and the famous Bhushi Dam
- Karjat — The ghat section. Beautiful views but drive carefully.
- Khed — Last stop before Nashik. Good dhaba for lunch.
Tips from SafarSetu Drivers
- Leave Mumbai by 5 AM to avoid Pune traffic
- The ghat section near Karjat is steep — drive slowly in rain
- Try the misal pav at Khed — it is worth the stop
- For a family trip, book with a driver. You can enjoy the scenery instead of navigating.
