After checking out of Golden Opulence Apartment, depart Chennai around 11:00 AM and head northwest on NH16 then join NH44—aim to stay on the expressway-style stretches to avoid city traffic. Plan a short comfort stop after ~2 hours near Nellore (NH44 service area or a clean highway HP petrol pump with washrooms) to top up HP petrol if needed, stretch legs and let your 3-year-old run around briefly in a shaded area.
For your lunch break (around 2:30-3:00 PM depending on progress), stop at a premium vegetarian highway restaurant such as Sri Anand Bhavan / Veg Delight on the NH44 corridor or a trusted pure-veg dhaba near Ongole—request seating away from the road for your elderly parents and choose soft, familiar dishes (dal, khichdi, curd rice). After lunch, continue north on NH44 toward Kurnool, keeping to the bypasses and peripheral routes to avoid entering town centres; plan another brief tea/stretch stop at a clean highway plaza or HP pump near Nandyal.
Arrive in Kurnool in the early evening (around 7:00-8:00 PM) and check into a comfortable mid-range hotel (options similar to ibis-standard properties within your Rs. 2500/room budget on the NH44 outskirts). Have dinner at the hotel or a nearby reputable pure-vegetarian restaurant—order gentle, easy-to-digest dishes for your parents and a familiar toddler meal—and relax for the night to recharge for the long highway day ahead.
After a restful night in Kurnool, depart around 7:30-8:00 AM to take advantage of cooler highway driving on NH44; aim for steady stretches and use the Kurnool bypass to avoid town traffic. Plan your first comfort stop after ~2.5-3 hours at an HP petrol station with a clean rest area near Raichur to top up HP petrol, stretch, and let your toddler move around under shade before continuing toward the Maharashtra border.
For lunch around 1:30-2:30 PM, stop at a premium pure-vegetarian highway restaurant or well-rated veg dhaba near Solapur outskirts—options include popular pure-veg eateries along NH52/ NH65 corridor (choose the bypass-side outlet) where you can order familiar, easy-to-digest dishes like dal, khichdi, steamed rice and curd. After a relaxed meal and a short rest, resume driving using peripheral ring roads and expressway stretches toward Ahmednagar outskirts, with a mid-afternoon tea/stretch break at a highway plaza or another HP pump so your parents can rest comfortably and you can check fuel and tire pressures.
Plan to arrive on the outskirts of Solapur/Ahmednagar by early evening (around 6:30-8:00 PM) and check into a comfortable mid-range hotel (look for ibis-style or similar properties on the bypass within your Rs. 2,500/room budget) located just off the highway to avoid city driving. Have dinner at the hotel or at a nearby reputable pure-veg restaurant recommended by the hotel reception — choose mild preparations for your parents and simple kid-friendly options — then relax and prepare for the final highway push toward Gujarat the next morning.
Leave your Solapur/Ahmednagar outskirts hotel after an early breakfast (around 7:00-7:30 AM) and follow NH48/NH47 and the Ahmedabad peripheral expressway to keep clear of inner-city traffic; plan a comfort stop at an HP Petrol Pump with rest facilities near Kheda or Narol to top up HP petrol, check tyre pressure and let your parents and toddler stretch in shaded areas. Enjoy motorway-style driving through Gujarat plains, with short photo opportunities at roadside greenery and a quick break at the Ahmedabad Ring Road service area if needed to refresh before the lunchtime leg toward Bhavnagar-Amreli.
For lunch around 1:00-2:00 PM, stop at a well-reviewed pure-vegetarian premium restaurant on the Ahmedabad bypass such as Gordhan Thal or a clean pure-veg highway outlet near Sanand — request milder Gujarati thali options (dal, khichdi, rotis, steamed rice, curd) suitable for elders and a toddler; afterwards continue on NH47 toward Bhavnagar, keeping to bypasses and state highways that skirt town centres. Mid-afternoon, take your scheduled tea/stretch break at a trusted HP petrol highway plaza near Bhavnagar where your parents can rest comfortably and you can confirm remaining fuel range for the final run to Amreli.
Arrive in Amreli in the early evening (around 6:30-8:00 PM) and check into a comfortable, budget-friendly hotel on the town outskirts (look for ibis-style or standard chain alternatives within Rs. 2,500/room that are located near the main highway to avoid inner-town driving). Have dinner at the hotel or at a nearby reputable pure-vegetarian restaurant serving gentle Gujarati and North-Indian dishes suitable for seniors and children, then unwind in your room — a calm night will set you up for sightseeing or relaxed local visits the next day.
