30 Road Trip Hindi Songs to Ad in Your Travel Playlist

We went ahead and made the complete list on Spotify for you here - Holidify's Road Trip Playlist .

1. Yunhi Chala Chal (Swades)

If you're treading along the lesser travelled roads of India, make sure you have this song on your playlist to keep your spirits up when you are squashed in a bus full of locals. Bonus fun if you can find a 'baba' to sing along on the trip.

2. Dil Chahta Hai (Title Track)

It's hard to leave this one of the list. Farhan Akhtar's 2001 debut film is when travel took a front seat in a Bollywood film than just as a backdrop to a scene. Dil Chahta Hai in our opinion will always remain the  ultimate hindi travel song for road trips, especially if during from Mumbai to Goa through the Konkan coast, where this song was shot.

3. Khwabon Ke Parindey (ZNMD)

Exactly ten years later, Farhan Akhtar's sister Zoya comes out with an extension of the road trip  vibe movie, only this time on a much larger scale. As a result, we have a film that not only has travel as the central theme but inspires you to travel . Haven't you all tried waving your hand against the wind, as Hrithik did?

4. Tanha Dil (Shaan)

5. Suhana Safar Aur Ye (Madhumati)

There is a reason why 'old is gold', it's because of classics like this song. From the 1958 movie Madhumati, picturized on Dilip Kumar and Vyjantimala, the tune is so melodious you can't help but hum along with it - A must add on your list of road trip songs.

6. Hum Jo Chalne Lage (Jab We Met)

7. Zindagi Ek Safar Hai Suhana (Andaaz)

8. Yeh Dil Na Hota Bechara (Jewel Thief)

Another of Kishore Kumar's best songs, add to that the evergreen Dev Anand's classic strut and you can't help but tap your feet to tunes of S.D. Burman's music while taking in the scenic beauty of the trip. We wholeheartedly approve that this song be added to the greatest list of best hindi travel songs ever.

9. Aaj Kal Zindagi (Wake up Sid)

Whether you're trying to scale the Mt. Everest or take a plunge in the Arabian Sea, this feel-good song is all the pep talk you need. From the movie Wake up Sid, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy's beautiful composition!

10. Ilahi (YJHD)

Admit it, you wished for Bunny aka Kabir aka Ranbir's life in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. You repeated this dialogue, " Main udna chahta hoon, daudna chahta hoon, girna bhi chahta hoon bus rukhna nahi chahta" , to anyone who asked you why you want to travel !

11. Patakha Guddi (Highway)

This song from Highway won everyone's heart with its catchy lyrics and music and awesome video showing an actual road-trip ! Put on your headphones, turn up the volume and take a lift on the back of a truck for the best experience.

13. Musafir Hoon Yaaron

14.    Hai Apna Dil Toh Awara - Solva Saal

One of the best songs to bounce to, this number so aptly reverberates with the ethos of our generation, that it is impossible to not be in love with. All the more so when we have our travelling boots on! It is surely one of the best Hindi travel songs from the bygone era.

15. Kabira (Ye Jawani Hai Deewani)

Bunny was pretty nomadic, and boy wasn't his life awesome! Kabira is perfect for when you're leaving a tiny part of your heart in a new place and are dealing with all the blues of separation.

15 Songs Dedicated To Friends Who Wouldn’t Shut Up About Their Pyaar For Pahaad

Cool breeze, clear sounds of the streams and the mesmerizing skies shifting into diferent hues of colours. If you can visualize all of these and crave to go to the mountains, well.. that was pretty much the intention. 

When one is travelling to the hills away from all the hustle-bustle then all one wants is to drink a hot cup of  chai  with some enchanting music playing in the background. And if you are one of those who like the comfort of listening to some soulful music while gazing out of your balcony, we got you covered. 

Here is a list of some incaptivating music by our homegrown indie artists that will make you yearn for another trip to the hills. 

1. Color White – Parvaaz

This Bengaluru- based band’s music is a fusion of Urdu and old poetry and might we say the lyrics alone will make you want to pack your bags and leave right away. The video of this song was shot in Kashmir and totally justifies the song name.  

2. Mai Ni Meriya – Mohit Chauhan 

What happens when you combine Mohit Chauhan’s soothing voice with a trip to pahad? Absolute magic.   Chauhan sings a chamba l folk song which honestly is giving us that Himachali village feels right now. 

3. Kho Gaye Hum Kahan – Prateek Kuhad & Jasleen Royal 

Everyone who is aware of Prateek Kuhad knows that his voice takes you to another level of calm. This song absolutely makes us want to lose ourselves in it.  

4. Kalga – As We Keep Searching

The name of the song itself is a village from Himachal. The rawness and the essence of the hills in this song alone make us feel surrounded by the magic of pahaad.    

5. Tanha Dil – Shaan

A young Shaan walking in the middle of an empty road is something we can still relate to and mostly isn’t that what we all want? To be left with ourselves and our tanhai.

6. Aaftaab – The Local Train 

This song with its deep lyrics and a bucket full of emotions reveal you to yourself and makes you want to discover yourself a little more. 

7. Floated By – Peter Cat Recording Co.

With its upbeat guitars, basslines and a very apparent touch of the trumpet, this song will give you a proper old-school feel mixed with that misty mountain breeze. 

8. Tere Mere Saath – Lucky Ali

The happy vibes in this song just talks about the initial stages of that spark between you and that ‘special someone’. So if you’re going to the hills with that someone, what better song to play other than this. 

9. Ghost – Parekh & Singh 

This Kolkata-based duo brings their whimsical, laid back songs to full use when you just want to chill out. And this specific song talks about the childlike quality that will totally remind you of those trip to the hills when you were a kid. 

10. Wagairah Wagairah – Ankur & The Ghalat Family 

If you are taking a solo-trip to pahaad , then you’d relate to this song way too much. Observing strangers when they’re being themselves and enjoying the visuals is another level of ecstasy in itself. 

11. Aao Chale – Taba Chake

This song literally speak to our wanderlust hearts. When you reach a point when you absolutely need to take a break from that city life and run away to the hills, this song will inspire you to definitely do so. 

12. Lifafa – Nikamma

The smooth and rich beats of this song will make you want to sway by yourself and enjoy those cozy mountain winds even more. 

13. Disappear – 

The ambient vibes of this song is perfect when you are taking that local bus ride in the hills and enjoying the views with your headphones on. 

14. Khoj (Passing By) – When Chai Met Toast

You know that feeling of finding your self and being true to it, well… this song will make full with those emotions whilst the calm mountains surrounding you. 

15. What Colour Is Your Raindrop – Tajdar Junaid

You know when you go to the hills and at night you’re staring at the clear skies and the glistening stars? This is just the right song for that exact moment. 

Can not wait to take a chutti  right away.

7 Essential Hindi Road Trip Songs Everyone Should Have In Their Playlist

June 29, 2023, 7:04 pm

•   shares
• Facebook Messenger

You can tell a lot about a person by seeing the songs in their playlist.

Everyone has a different taste in music. Some love Kishore Kumar and some Badshah, some love “Hoshwalon Ko Khabar Kya” and some love “Hookah Bar”, some… wait, I think you got what I’m trying to say in here in this must-have travel Hindi road trip songs list.

Now imagine, you’re solo-traveling to Shimla on a bus. You’re sitting on the window seat, from where the visuals/scenery is so beautiful, so surreal that you don’t even want to blink your eyes for a second.

But something is missing…

To add a feather to your hat, you wear your earphones and play your playlist on the mobile. But the question is, doesn’t matter what music taste you have, are you enjoying your journey?

It’s good if you are but if not, then here are 7 essential and best Hindi road trip songs that I think everyone should have in their playlist:

• Aao Milon Chalen
• Phir Se Ud Chala
• Khaabon Ke Parindey

Let’s dive into each of these songs a bit deeper. Here we go :

1. Safarnama – Tamasha

Lucky Ali ko jitna praise karo utna kam hai.

All of his songs always set up our mood and leave us with a ton of positive vibes. The same goes for this song!

Put on your earphones while you’re traveling, sitting on a window seat, and play this song. You won’t only feel energetic and excited for the rest of your trip but also start contemplating your journey.

And hey, don’t forget to lip-sync the song with Lucky Ali’s “hmmmmm” to feel the feels!

2. Qaafirana – Kedarnath

Hearing the very first line of this Amit Trivedi’s gem, “ In Vaadiyo Me… ” makes you get lost in the beautiful valley of Kedarnath.

Also, apart from making you drool to travel and have a trip to Kedarnath, this song will make you feel terrifically good on your journey.

3. Aao Milon Chalen – Jab We Met

Sung by Shaan, this song tells you to keep traveling!

Traveling without any plan. Trying everything on the way. Roaming around the city. Talking with the locals. Stealing someone’s bicycle and then returning it. Basically, feeling every moment of the journey.

It depicts, “ Part of Journey is the End ” and it for sure give us travel goals.

4. Phir Se Ud Chala – Rockstar

Now, no one can ever deny this one!

This is a journey based song and this must be in everyone’s playlist while traveling.

Just imagine being on a road surrounded by mountains and fog. You can see the snow falling from your car’s window and then, you hear these magical lines, “ Door Door Log Baag Meelon Door Yeh Vaadiyan… “

Isn’t it perfect to just get lost in the beauty of those mountains?

So, I highly recommend this hindi song for a road trip in the hilly areas or mountains.

It’s something I can listen to on loop for my whole life, without getting bored!

5. Iktara – Wake Up Sid

This isn’t a travel song but the vibes this song has will, just like Sid (Ranbir’s character in the movie) makes you want to roam around the streets and beaches of Mumbai.

Clicking beautiful pictures of everything around you and… I just find myself lost in my road trip journey while listening to this song.

6. Khaabon Ke Parindey – ZNMD

What Hrithik felt in this song, I want to feel the same!

Fall in love with everything I see. Enjoy the smell of mud. Love everything around me. Feel like I’m in fairytale land. Have no regrets in life. No tension of work.

I just want to travel around like there’s some magic in the air. And never want that trip to end.

It’s a perfect perfect hindi driving song that one can ask for.

“Fikrein Jo Thi, Peeche Reh Gayi Nikle Unse Aage Hum”

7. Ilahi – YJHD

Do I even have to say anything about this song? Ranbir, no doubt, since his debut, has been inspiring us to travel.

Any list of Bollywood travel songs is incomplete without “ Ilahi “.

This song and movie ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’ gave most of us a goal to find a job that pays for traveling to new cities, countries, world every month. It literally was(is) my dream.

“Kal Pe Sawaal Hai, Jeena Filhaal Hai”

So, these are the best Hindi road trip songs (my favorite ones) that I think everyone should have in their playlist but I’m sure, as each and every one of us has a different taste in music, there are tons of such must-haves Hindi travel songs out there.

Share your favorite Hindi road trip songs playlist in the comments below!

What are the seven Hindi road trip songs mentioned in the article?

The seven Hindi road trip songs mentioned in the article are: “Safarnama” from the movie Tamasha “Qaafirana” from the movie Kedarnath “Aao Milon Chalen” from the movie Jab We Met “Phir Se Ud Chala” from the movie Rockstar “Iktara” from the movie Wake Up Sid “Khaabon Ke Parindey” from the movie Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara “Ilahi” from the movie Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani

Best Hindi Songs from Bollywood That Must Be On Your Road Trip Playlist

Bollywood songs have always brought that charisma to our lives. They have rendered a peppy charm to an otherwise dull and dreary existence. Whether it is any event of our life-marriage, love, break up- they have given words to our emotions! Well let us just one more laurel to them today. We shall list down those Hindi songs that will make your roadtrips more exciting and beautiful, in fact to such an extent that you wouldn't just wish to stop that trip. Below are the hindi songs from Bollywood should definitely be a part of your road trip playlist during that lovely journey:

1. Khwabon Ke Parindey (Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara)

It's as if Zoya Aktar had decided to put forward travel as her mainstay. Infact most of her movies are based on travel one way or the other. The suave Hrithik Roshan exploring Spain while the backdrop just passing by would make every Indian to love travel!

2. Yunhi chala chal raahi (Swades)

Philosophical moorings come in peppy notes this time! Travel, love, philosophy just blend together so well as SRK goes back to explore his roots!

3. Suhana Safar Aur Ye Mausam Haseen (Madhumati)

Old remains gold forever! This hindi song that still features on the playlists of the roadtrips make us so much fall in love with old world charm. Dilip Kumar would have never imagined that Suhana safar would become the philosophy of the generations to come.

4. Ham Jo Chalne Lage (Jab We Met)

Falling in love while travelling is what everyone dreams of. And this is what Hum Jo does to every Bollywood lover’s heart. The movie’s train, carts, bikes journeys unravel that incredible India where romance waits for you in every corner. This is an ideal hindi song for long drive!!

5. Sapno Se Bhare Naina (Luck By Chance)

This one is my favourite! Although the song is more about the journey within the human soul, it goes very well for your journey outside as well. A must for those who are in love with soulful songs.

6. Dil Chahta Hai (Dil Chahta Hai)

Who would not be aware of this song! Nothing has made the travel between Mumbai to Goa as gorgeous as the three Khans have done in this song.

7. Main zindagi ka saath nibhata chala gaya (Hum Dono)

The song’s simplicity is its USP. The song explains the basic philosophy of life and directs towards a sense of fulfilment that is not dependant on the outer being. Devanaand, in his classic, effortless style adds to the unusual euphoria of the song.

8. Ilahi (Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani)

Ranbir Kapoor and that too in his avid traveler form! I am sure all the girls would have fallen head in heels love with him as he travels the world and woos women! Deepika only comes at last!

9. Musafir Hoon Yaaron (Parichay)

Apart from the lyrical beauty of this song, the melodious voice of Kishor Kumar makes it one of the soul-stirring songs to listen to, whether you are on a trip, or not.

10. Ae Kabira (YJHD)

Even this generation has got its own share of soulful songs! Love in all its forms comes out at its best through this lovely song that makes you fall in love with the idea of love itself!

11. Chhod Aaye Hum Wo Galiyaan (Maachis)

Jan tere peron ke ah too much of nostalgia. Pain, suffering and desire to go back come across so well through this mesmerizing song that keeps on shifting between joy and heartache.

12. Patakha Guddi (Highway)

Wind in the hair, no destination in mind and an empty highway; Patakha Guddi is the perfect backdrop for any road trip where it is all about the journey. And as the protagonist of the song, Veera (Aliya) discovers her own self on the trip, I feel I do too!

13. Zinda (Bhaag Milkha Baag)

This one is perfect for the early morning start, where you drag yourself out of the bed and hit the road. The song’s spirit is all about overcoming your own fears and making the most of being and feeling alive. Most suitable for those ‘stepping-out- of-the- comfort-zones’ kind-of vacations!

14. Tanha Dil (Shaan)

Journeys that are taken alone and leave you with the lessons of life to learn! As it is Shaan has got that soulful voice and if it is combined with such deep lyrics, magic is bound to happen with one of my favorite bollywood travel songs!

15. Hum Kis Gali Ja Rahe Hain (Atif Aslam)

Take on the road with a vengeance with Atif Aslam's deep-throated voice to make your path seem suddenly so clear!

16. Hairat (Anjana Anjani)

A peppy track from the movie "Anjaana Anjaani" is also a great track, which you can add on your travel playlist. This hindi travel song is all about spontaneity, that makes us pack our bags and go for a road trip to Las Vegas.

17. Chhaiyan Chaiyaan (Dil se)

This song has definitely made our train and road trips more musical. Your feet will beat to the notes as you cover some of the most scenic train routes in India .

18. Yeh Dil Deewana (Pardes)

Notes that jerk you out of your seat! Love to see Sharukh Khan in a confused state of love (well! he is always) as he drives down the road!

19. Yeh Dooriyaan (Love Aaj Kal)

As claimed by the maker of this movie, this song depicts "the distance" as the subject and the music is definitely going to give you an Earworm, no not an insect, but the stuck song syndrome.

20. Phir Se Ud Chala (Rockstar)

This song is the answer to the wanderlust as it takes you on a ride with each of its highs and lows just like a roller coaster and the lyrics describes the very state of being free as a bird.

21. Ok Jaanu (Ok Jaanu!)

Fresh from Mr. Rahman’s oven, Ok Jaanu, the title track of the movie has a refreshing music and such a young vibe to it! The song is about disburdening ourselves from the pain and the fears of the past, much like what travel does to us!

22. Gazab ka hain din (Qayamat se qayamat tak)

One of the cutest romantic songs ever, this 90’s song can make even a non-romantic person hum it along. Imagine a romantic road trip, with just you and your special one and this song playing in the backdrop and you’ll know what I am talking about!

23. Roobaroo (Rang De Basanti)

The song opens with a guitar piece and continuous to build up the rhythm, throughout. Apart from A.R.Rahman’s music, what makes this song an all-time- favourite is the thought behind each of its words. The song resonates with my idea of travel, where familiar is good, but new is exciting!

24. Hum dono do premi (Ajanabee)

The song is about two lovers, escaping and eloping their world, just to be with each other. The song is sung by legendary singers Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar. It has the true essence of embarking on a journey and enjoying it, instead of rushing through it!

25. Yeh Haseen Waadiya (Roja)

The song is picturised over a beautiful panorama of snow-clad peaks and the lyrics of the song elaborate the same. What makes this one a great road trip song is its music, especially if you are travelling somewhere up in the mountains! The song also has a sensuous feel to it, making it ideal for a honeymoon road trip as well!

Am I missing out on any song? Just add more to the list!

I reserved this one for my childhood friends. The things you can only do around them, the names only they can call you, the fun which is only fun because they are around. This one is for those who make you who you are.

12. Dooriyan (Love Aaj Kal):

This is for those who travel alone on the surface but carry a home within. Be it in any form- a person, a memory that is stubborn to never leave, an aspiration that breathes in you. This is more than just a romantic song

16. Kyun (Barfi):

This one is for that crazy, curious friend in your travel group who never ceases to ask questions and is perpetually filled with confusion and curiosity but on the inside is the wisest.

Tripping on Old Hindi Road Trip Songs

However much we might like to listen to fast beats and loud music on million-watt speakers inside our cars, when it comes to long distance road trips, the vote goes to soothing music with meaningful lyrics that calm the nerves and enhances the joy of driving. Ask commercial drivers. They invariably turn to old film songs – whether Hindi or other regional languages, depending upon which part of the country you are in. Talking of long road trips and film music in the same breath brought to mind Scout My Trip and I thought, ‘why not make a post featuring some old Hindi road trip songs ?’

I have picked some of my favourite Hindi road trip songs from the 1940s to the late 80s , which were super hits in their time (even the oldest song in the list). My criteria were that the song should feature road trips and the actors should be on wheels.

In recent years there have been many road trip movies and songs and I found many playlists on YouTube that featured these. I decided to skip these because they are all fresh in everyone’s memories.

I am sure all the songs compiled by me will grow on you and make you hum along or tap your feet if you were to listen to them even a couple of times. And oh! I would advise you to suspend your disbelief which watching some of them, as the picturization can be completely absurd as to be hilarious. But I guess those of my generation loved the songs too much to notice all that! ? I am sure the songs will grow on you and make you hum along or tap your feet if you were to listen to them even a couple of times.

On to the road trip songs and the wheels (the actors) that make it possible! You can also download this playlist here

When you’re riding a Motorbike

I am told that motorbikes are a wonderful way to see the country and experience the local culture while communing with Nature. So, shall we start with the great mobike-with-sidecar song of Jai-Veeru , as they travel to Gabbar-land in the super-duper hit film Sholay ? Be sure not to do all the stunts that this crazy duo does – and all without helmets (hmmmph…) or you wouldn’t know where you are going!

Anyway, it had been a smashing hit of the 70s and continues to thrill listeners till date. Music is by the inimitable R.D.Burman and I would rate it right on top amongst all the Hindi road trip songs when on a motorbike!

The Hindi road trip song you must play when on a Bullock-cart

Till late into the 20 th century, bullock-carts were used for long-distance travels. It can be a little hard on the back, especially for city folk used to cushiest shock-absorbers, but the tinkling bells of the bullocks, the gentle swaying of the cart in rhythm with their movement, and the rolling rustic landscape can make it a memorable ride. I have travelled in one in the 70s, albeit for a short distance . It was an enjoyable ride, partly because it was a novel experience for me.

Just listen to this lilting song, with its wonderful lyrics and melody uncluttered by loud orchestration. The bells of the bullocks and wheels turning are the only palpable sounds adding to the rustic charm of the tune, even as the voice of Manna Dey soothes and calms the nerves so it makes it to the Hindi road trip songs list one must play if they ever find themselves on a bullock cart!

If this is the first time you are listening to this one, I guarantee that it won’t be the last or the only time. Music is by the great music director Vasant Desai .

What you must play when on a fast paced  bullock-cart

This is another of the bullock-cart songs that must find a place in this post. It has a whole caravan of bullock-carts , not just a lone one. It is in stark contrast to the above song in terms of beats, pace, and tone. I love this rollicking number from Caravan featuring the Jumping Jack Jeetendra and Aruna Irani – for its sheer exuberance. The foot-tapping music by R.D.Burman makes it worth saving for a long ride.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKcFP-vghF0

To keep you going when you’re on a  Bicycle road trip

Movies of the 50s and 60s and even 70s had some great bicycle songs. Shubha Khote, (the Principal in the sitcom Zaban Sambhalke, remember her?) was a champion cyclist and so movies featuring her during her early years had at least one mandatory cycling sequence. Listen to this ebullient song from Anari featuring Raj Kapoor and Nutan and of course Shubha Khote. Tell me, wouldn’t this be a lovely song to play on your next road trip ? Or maybe even sing? Music is by the great music director duo Shankar-Jaikishan .

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKZYniG-4wk

When road tripping in a  Car

There is one rule where four-wheelers in old Hindi movies are concerned – when the men drive alone, it is almost always in a jeep – it is open and rugged. And mind you, these were not your ordinary Mahindra jeeps used by the police, but swanky imported ones. When there is a girl in the scene, then it had to be a car – imported, of course, with roll-down top. If the movie is sufficiently old (B/W), and the singers are inside the car, then you can be sure that it would be stationary, with the scenery behind it moving. The actors would be bouncing in their seats to simulate the movements of a running car! But the song would be so beautiful that all these silly details never bothered us.

This song from the 70s movie Safar has one such imported car (open of course), with Feroze Khan and Sharmila Tagore going on a long drive along winding mountain roads . Music is by Kalyanji-Anandji .

When you decide to go #AageSeRight on a  Tonga / Ghoda-Gadi

There were not many cars on Indian roads till the last quarter of the 20 th century, and so other means of transport were widely used in movies. For instance, there were ghoda-gadis and songs to go along. In fact, several ghoda-gadi songs became superhits mainly due to the clop-clop beats of the horses’ hooves. I could post a dozen of them off-hand, but I am trying to post only those that look like long-distance rides. And that gave me the chance to post a B/W song of my favourite singer, Talat Mahmood!

It was a great hit of the time and many of you might have heard it too. Music is by Salil Chaudhary and the movie is Ek Gaon ki Kahani . In keeping with the title, the tonga meanders through the rustic landscape as the protagonist goes to the village where he has been appointed the doctor. (I know because I watched this silly movie for all the lovely songs in it).

When you start in a  car but end up in a bullock-cart

All those who go on road trips, do get your car serviced properly, else you might end up like this gentleman! He was lucky enough to find a bail-gadi to tow him through the jungle paths !

It might be hard for you to believe, but I love this song! I had not seen the video when I had heard the song first and for many years after that. But seeing the video only made me smile indulgently at the picturization and it didn’t take away my love for the song one bit. (I did manage to sneak in one of the old, old songs, he he he ?)

The song is from the 1948 movie Anokhi Ada . The heroine is Saira Banu’s mother Naseem Banu and the hero is Surendra. Music is by the great Naushad .

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKWNkL4guR4

When on Roller-skates (?)

Why not? I told you I would be tweaking this post, didn’t I? And roller-skates have wheels, don’t they? So what if they are worn by the singers who are falling, picking themselves up and having a whale of a time on their roller-skates? The superhit song is from Seeta aur Geeta and once again the music director is R.D.Burman .

Hindi road trip song when on a  3-wheeler contraption

This is a completely crazy contraption driven by the then famous jodi of Jai and Veeru rechristened as Ram-Balram for the movie by the same name. It goes through giant water pipes and even rides on a ferry! As I said, leave behind your credulity as you watch this one. There is a scene where the couple lifts the car and walk, and you can see it is just a shell – no driving wheel or seats inside it! In the next scene, they are all back as they begin driving again!

The music directors are Lakshmikant-Pyarelal , another hit jodi from that time.

When you’re living it up in a  Jeep

This one bears out my observation that when male actors drove alone, they did so in a jeep. In this one from Jhuk Gaya Aasman , a jeep-bound Rajendra Kumar is serenading a – hold your breath – a plane-bound Saira Banu. Incredibly she is able to see (and hear?) him as the car races with the plane. I guess you’d argue that it was way back when probably plane flew at lower altitudes and even moved slower than now ?

The superhit music was provided by Shankar-Jaikishan .

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exD5okdopWc

When you’re in a beat up station wagon

Beat up vehicle drives can be long and tedious, but we have many songs featuring trucks which are quite lively. This one from Tezaab , Madhuri Dixit’s debut film, is a favourite for its soothing and melodious tune. The group of friends (?) are having a harmonious night ride. The whistling adds to the charm of the song. The music is composed by Lakshmikant-Pyarelal .

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4FmY6tuCcs

If you’re ever in a  Truck (Hopefully not getting kidnapped)

This one is by that legendary lonely trucker and obviously having it tough, driving alone for long periods on lonely stretches. Even the picturesque locales of mountains and valleys apparently are not able to enthuse him and he is forced to find solace in memories. Sanjeev Kumar is the lonely trucker in this song from Namkeen .

Excellent lyrics by Gulzar and pleasing music by R.D.Burman   make this a memorable addition to the list.

Hindi road trip song you must play when on a  Bus

I guess I have to feature a bus song and what can be better than this one from Bombay to Goa ? Long distance bus travel can be tedious or enjoyable depending upon the company one finds on the trip. This bus-load of passengers is clearly having a great time, singing to the beats of R.D.Burman’s music . Wonder how Amitabh Bachhan finds the headspace to frolic around though!

Finally, I want to share a Johny Walker song, which means it necessarily has to be a comedy song and a superhit to boot. God forbid that you have to face all the car troubles these blokes face with theirs! Go road-tripping with friends, just in case!

And with this, I have added another 50s B/W song!! This one is from Taxi Driver and has music by S.D. Burman .

Hope you enjoy all my favourite Hindi travel songs, give or take a couple. Try to guess the locales of the songs, and don’t cheat by reading up on them, ok? You could also check out this post about road trip rock songs  , but only after you leave a comment on this blog post!

Do share your favorite Hindi road trip songs featuring roads and riding/driving in the comments, won’t you?

Such a wonderful playlist. I heard some of them after ages. I still have that last one ringing in my ears. Interestingly I’d never seen the video of this one even though the song is a childhood favourite.

I am so glad you liked them all, Tulika. It was tough for me to stop myself from posting more B/W songs though. One more song which should have been here is Chala Jata Hoon from Hathi mere sathi. I was afraid it would become too long a playlist for one post, so didn’t post it. Chahe koi is indeed a laugh riot, isn’t it?

Wowowow wowiwiw wooo hoo now is that a list or IS THAT A LIST.. Beautiful song..i do have a special folder on my usb just forblong drives and almost all the songs are in them. The one which i dont have i am going to copy tody. Brilliant..

My favourite is yeh dosti from and sholay.. and offcourse look t that young feroze khan and jeetendra….and the tezaab song… high five on all of them…

Hey Biks, good to see you here and also appreciating the list. I am curious to know which of these songs you don’t have in your USB. Of course the very old ones might not be there 🙂

Road Trip Playlist: The Coolest Hindi Road Trip Songs Revealed!

Mayank Kumar

Last updated: Apr 3, 2017

Park your backpacks in the boot, roll down the window shields, buckle up and hit the road with your pals. Here is an expansive compilation of some of the coolest Hindi songs (yes, they exist) to keep you company while on the road. Hit ‘play’ now!  

Dil Chahta Hai, the Title Track

Dil chahta hai, kabhi na beete chamkeele din dil chahta hai, hum na rahein kabhi yaaron ke bin din din bhar ho pyaari baatein jhoome shaame, gaaye raatein masti mein rahe dooba dooba hameshaa samaa humko raahon mein yoonhi milti rahein khushiyaan dil chahta hai, kabhi na beete chamkile din, dil chahta hai, hum na rahe kabhi yaaron ke bin

As you sit by the window, and the wind brushes through your face, these lines will get you right into vacation spirit.

O Humdum Suniyo Re, Saathiya

From the film Saathiya , the song has a sweet, hummable tune which you can sing along as you criss-cross through easy and difficult terrains.

Khwabon ke Parindey, Zindagi Naa Milegi Dobara

Ude, khule aasaman mein khwabon ke parindey ude, dil ke jahaan main khaabon ke parinday kya pata, jaayenge kahaan khule hain jo pal, kahe yeh nazar lagta hai ab hai jaage hum fiqrein jo thi, peechhe reh gayi nikle unse aage hum hawa mein beh rahi hai zindagi yeh hum se keh rahi hai zindagi ab toh, jo bhi ho so ho

Javed Akhtar’s insightful lyrics surely moved the traveller within us all, and etched this song in our minds forever.

Sooraj Dooba Hai, Roy

A fast-paced number that’s bound to get your spirits up and about! Sooraj Dooba Hai from the film Roy fills up the road trip playlist with a dance number that you can groove to while stationed in a four-wheeler. What is a road trip without some idiosyncrasies?

Aao Milo Chalo, Jab We Met

Hum jo chalne lage chalne lage hai yeh raste manzil se behtar lagne lage hai yeh raste aao kho jaye hum ho jaye hum yun lapata aao milo chale jana kahan na ho pata

What could be better for a road trip playlist than a song filmed on a road trip? This one from Imtiaz Ali’s Jab We Met took Geet and Aditya (Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor) from Ratlam to Bhatinda via road.

Bulleya, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil

While this foot tapping number keeps the energy going, it also keeps your pal on the wheel from dozing off! The sound of drum beats and electronic guitar is bound to make you bang your head, just like a rockstar! 

Phir Se Udd Chala, Rockstar

Kisi manzar par main ruka nahi kabhi khud se bhi mein mila nahi ye gila to hai main khafa nahi shehar ek se gaa’nv ek se log ek se naam ek ooo ooo o… phir se udd chala

If you ever get contemplative and all philosophical on your road trips, while sitting in the back seat driving through the sunset, then Phir Se Udd Chala (again from Imtiaz Ali’s Rockstar ) will add to your mood. 

Manmarziyan and Zinda Hoon, Lootera

These soul-searching, insightful songs make us hit repeat every time we hear it. Add these to your road trip playlist now!

Roobaroo, Rang De Basanti

Dhuaan chhanta khula gagan mera nayi dagar naya safar mera jo ban sake tu hamsafar mera nazar mila zara roobaroo..

Speaking (or singing should we say) for itself, isn’t it?

Socha Hai and the Title Track, Rock On!!

The music of this film seems just perfect for road trips. These two songs in particular will make you roll down the windows, get your hair flowing in the wind, and sing at the top of your voice. Bonus if you have a sun roof!

Pashmina, Fitoor

Pashmina dhaagon ke sang koi aaj bune khwaab aise kaise waadi mein goonje kahin naye saaz ye rawaab aise kaise pashmina..

Amit Trivedi’s music and Swanand Kirkire’s lyrics here create an ideal companion for road journeys.

Safarnama, Tamasha

Last one from an Imtiaz Ali’s film, we promise! The soul-searching lyrics like ‘ jisey dhoonda zamaane mein, mujh hi mein tha mere saare jawaabon ka safarnama ’ will surely tug at your heartstrings.
