Quick answer

Drive time = distance ÷ average speed, plus stops. On Indian highways an average of 50–60 km/h is realistic once towns, traffic and tolls are included, even if you cruise faster. A 350 km trip at 55 km/h takes about 6 hours 22 minutes of driving; with two 20-minute stops, plan for about 7 hours. Leaving at 6:00 means arriving around 13:02.

How to use this calculator
