Across Khandesh
Nandurbar and Dhule were one district until 1998, and they share the dry, open plains of western Khandesh. The truck can take the road east through Dondaicha, or south towards Sakri, before turning to Dhule. Both are mostly two-lane roads through farmland and small towns. A morning load is usually unloaded by mid-afternoon.
Leaving Nandurbar
Homes near the chilli market and the old town may need a short carry to the truck, and roads there are slow in the harvest season. Government quarters need a vacating notice and an inspection.
Where in Dhule
Dhule's old city, near the Panjhra river and the main bazaars, has crowded lanes. Newer colonies in Deopur, along the Agra road and the Sakri road are easier for a truck. Give the exact address and a landmark.
Family and work ties
Many families have relatives in both towns, and officers, teachers and bank staff move between them on postings. If an employer is paying, ask what documents they need; every mover we work with provides a GST invoice.
Heat on the plains
From March to June, this part of Khandesh is very hot, with dry winds. Start loading at first light and keep medicines and electronics with you. The monsoon is moderate; winters are cool and pleasant.
October to February usually suits this route best.
Festivals
Holi in the villages, Ganeshotsav, Navratri, Diwali and the Sarangkheda horse fair in winter keep the area busy. Choose a date clear of them.
Students
A student moving to a Dhule college usually needs a few-items move. Check the hostel's dates first.
Water in summer
Water can be short in Dhule in summer. Before you sign a lease, ask how supply works and whether the house has a tank or borewell.
Packing against dust
Ask for carton seams taped tight, mattresses in covers and wooden furniture wrapped in blankets. Label every carton with its room.
Farming families
If your family farms chillies, cotton or other crops, keep tools and produce off the household list, and decide in advance what stays in the village.
Two-wheelers
A scooter or motorcycle can usually travel in the same truck if it is wrapped, photographed and listed separately. Our bike transport service page explains the options.
Dondaicha and Sakri
Dondaicha, on the eastern road, is a cotton and trading town, and Sakri, to the south, sits on the road to Nashik. If your move starts or ends in one of them, give the exact address and a landmark.
Officers on posting
Many moves on this route are officers and staff transferred between the two districts. Government quarters need a vacating notice and an inspection, so book it early.
Old-city carries
If your Dhule address is in the old city, the truck may have to stop on a wider road while goods are carried. Ask for smaller cartons if the carry is long.
Settling in
In Dhule, check the power backup, register with the society office if there is one, and book internet as soon as you have the address. Our guide to address changes after moving lists the official records to update.
