Budget for two meal stops, a stretch break, and a fuel halt; consider an early-morning start to beat highway traffic.
This is a coastal-belt drive with refreshing sea breezes, occasional bridge crossings, and palm-lined stretches. Watch for slippery roads in the monsoon months.
October to March is ideal. The Western Ghats receive heavy monsoon rainfall (June-September) — drive carefully on hill ghats and avoid night runs through that period.
