New Delhi: As soon as the name of Chhath festival comes, people start remembering their home, village and family. This is the reason why people working in other cities also try their best to reach their loved ones on this festival. An interesting example of this has been presented by a social media influencer, whom people know as 'Corporate Wala'. He embarked on a nearly 2,100 km road journey from Bengaluru to Bihar to celebrate Chhath with his family. This influencer, who came out of his Scorpio-N, has shared a video of the journey, in which the views of the route, the travel experience and the complete account of the expenses are also described.
Started the long journey at 4 in the morning
The influencer started his journey from Bengaluru around 4 am. After getting out of the traffic in areas like Banashankari and Hebbal, he took the highway. His vehicle moved from Karnataka towards Andhra Pradesh and then Telangana. The vast fields and wind mills in Anantapur area of Andhra Pradesh became a beautiful sight on the journey.
In a hurry to reach home, he drove for about 19 hours on the very first day. During this time, he reached Nagpur after traveling about 1,100 kilometers. Here they spent the night and decided to travel further the next day.
How much did it cost on fuel and food?
The influencer also gave information about the travel expenses in his video. According to him, around Rs 10,000 worth of fuel was spent to reach from Bengaluru to Nagpur. It cost around Rs 2,500 to 3,000 for food, snacks and other things on the way.
There are more than 30 toll plazas on this route. However, he had already got an annual toll pass of Rs 2,000. Due to this they had to pay only the applicable additional state highway toll.
Advice given to those traveling at night
Based on his experience, he advised passengers to exercise caution. He says that some parts of the highway between Hyderabad and Nagpur become quite deserted at night. In many places, even light and good hotels are not easily available. In such a situation, a place to stay should be decided before leaving at night. He suggested stopping at Hyderabad and starting the further journey in the morning.
Enjoyed poha-tea after reaching Madhya Pradesh
After resting in Nagpur, the next morning he again took charge of the vehicle and proceeded towards Madhya Pradesh. On the way, he tasted hot poha and tea amidst greenery. This journey is not just a story of covering long distances and keeping track of expenses, but also shows the feeling of returning home on the occasion of Chhath, which draws people from thousands of kilometers away to their families and villages.
