📝 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 to ensure safe and comfortable negotiation of the ghat roads, which requires slower speeds for a large coach.
• Exclusions: The package usually includes the vehicle, driver allowance, transfers, and basic accommodation (often with breakfast). Entry fees for sights (e.g., Boating, Elephant Ride, Cultural Shows), lunch, and dinner are typically excluded.
