94 km or 118 km? Both are right
Two roads go to Devgad. The coastal state highway, MH SH 4, is the shortest at about 94 km, and it's the route Google Maps picks as fastest. NH 66 inland via Lanja and Rajapur is about 118 km: longer, but a wider road for most of the way.
That's why booking sites quote such different numbers. Higher figures online are for longer routes or different start and end points (the station, Devgad beach or Kunkeshwar). Nayanish chooses the road on the day; either way, plan about 4 hours with breaks.
