📝 Important Notes for Your 45-Seater Bus Trip
• Vehicle: The entire journey will be managed by Rengaprasad Travels with a dedicated 45-Seater Luxury Bus (2+2 configuration).
• Group Logistics: The large size of the bus means maneuverability is limited; pick-up/drop-off points may need to be the main road near attractions or hotels.
• Hill Road Travel: The drive times are slightly extended (4-5 hours) to ensure safe and comfortable negotiation of the ghat roads, which requires slower speeds for a large coach.
• Exclusions: The package generally includes the bus vehicle, driver allowance, transfers, and basic accommodation (often with breakfast). Entry fees, activity charges (boating/trekking/jeep), lunch, and dinner are typically excluded.
