Guest guest Report post Posted November 3, 2004 Sai Ram to all, We are a group of 6 people from Malaysia who will be arriving at Bangalore Airport at 1.00pm on 11th November, 2004. Can anyone out there please let us know whether we can hire a coach at or near the airport, and what will the approximate fare be like. Thank you and Sai Ram. Bobby.

If you hire a A/C Jeep (Toyota Qualis) , all six of you can travel in one couch the max amount you should pay is Rs.2000/- . even if you ask for just a drop they will normally charge for round trip . And the distance from Bangalore to Puttaparthi is approx 150 kms (150 *2 * 6 Rs = 1800 + 200 driver tips). If you want to stay for a day in Bangalore before you proceed to Parth, you can hire a hotel at Anand Rao Circle and you can plan to go in a train. Train usually starts at 6:00 AM from Bangalore.

Another suggestion for you is to try the cheaper hotel on the first left road next to gopuram gate called sai kumar lodge which is owned by one mukhundha. if there are rooms available , which i think is around rs400/- to rs 700/- per day (approx. M$30/-) or he may be able to help you in some other way. you can mention my names madhusudhanna from cochin,kerala. i am sure he will help. jangan susaah hati, selamat datang di-negara-bharatham - namaskaram, dhanyawaad dan banyak terima kaseh - AUM SAI MADHUSUDHANNAYANAMAH KRISHANAYANAMAH RAMAYANAMAH DO TAKE CARE.
