We also were surprised at some places by patches of under construction Delhi-Mumbai highway. Let's unfold all that in this blogpost and see if it's worth driving from Noida/Delhi to Bhopal and put it in context when someone has to just visit Bhopal vs go beyond Bhopal or explore other towns around Bhopal in Madhya Pradesh.](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDggfVXhzAOqx0FPutHEQzyO4Tum1pFsXd3zWpSYwCbGp6JapDZRPndooLah2rOtk7m5aLZpQvZ3SgYtpO6785PNhZjx7jcQSca1p6JkYP7vsHrAL1nXDygKSRiDrPWyRZPuR5GqdiNPhVQ5ehbojHoPrQhCBb-oCqjmIlRYh07qWaqPItoycsCddF/w200-h128/Noida%20to%20Rameswaram%20road%20trip%20via%20the%20Eastern%20Ghats%20%7C%7C%20A%20Challenging,%20Intense,%20and%20Enriching%20Journey%20through%20Six%20States%20of%20India-2-2.jpg)
