Mumbai is the worst city in India! A 3rd world city (African city if you please) by all standards. So if the journey from Mumbai to nasik was worse, I am afraid Maharashtra needs a major uplift. If an external visitor needs to get a better sense of developing India, Delhi, Gurgaon, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chandigarh, even Lucknow (which has improved a lot in recent times) are the cities to visit.
