Departure
For a full bus of pilgrims, the coach leaves at 5 am from a boarding point in east Bangalore with space to stand. Three days are planned, with nights at Kadapa and Vijayawada, so the working day of the driver never runs too long. The main luggage goes in the hold with name tags; each person keeps a small overnight bag separate. Day one covers about 255 km through Chintamani and Madanapalle.
Restroom halt
The coach makes its first stop at Chintamani, 75 km out, for fifteen minutes at a fuel station with room to stand. Chintamani is known throughout Karnataka for its silk and tomato markets, and the market lanes are too tight for a coach, so it stays on the main road. Count heads before setting off. Once past the town, the coach crosses into Andhra Pradesh. Tell the group the plan for the day while the coach waits.
Breakfast
Madanapalle, 130 km out, is where the whole group has breakfast, booked the previous day at a bypass hotel with bus parking. Pesarattu and upma are served quickly; allow forty minutes. As headquarters of Annamayya district and a major tomato market, the town centre is congested in the morning, so the coach avoids it. Dry, open Rayalaseema country begins beyond. Refill the drinking water cans before the dry stretch. Count heads at the door.
Through Rayachoti
Rayachoti, 205 km out, is crossed without stopping. The old town on the Mandavya river is known for a Veerabhadra Swamy temple of about a thousand years, and until the end of 2025 it was the district seat. NH40 and NH340 intersect here, bringing heavy lorries, so the coach holds a steady pace. Kadapa, the first night's stop, is about an hour away. Remind the group about the room list for tonight.
First night
Kadapa, 255 km from Bangalore, is the first overnight halt. Rooms for a full coach must be booked well in advance, and the bus parks at the hotel or a nearby open ground. In the evening some may visit the Ameen Peer Dargah, a Sufi shrine in the city. Dinner can be Andhra meals or the local karam dosa. The driver rests and checks the coach before the narrower roads of day two.
Early tea
Day two begins at dawn, and the first halt comes at Badvel, 345 km out, for tea and restrooms. Badvel is the headquarters of a revenue division of Kadapa district. The road onward to Kanigiri is narrower, with village traffic and slow tractors, so the coach drives at a careful pace in daylight. Allow fifteen minutes and take a head count. Elders should drink water and stay seated while the coach moves.
Breakfast
Breakfast at Kanigiri, 425 km out, at a hotel told the head count the previous evening; allow forty minutes. Kanigiri lies at about 95 m and is hot by midday, which is why the coach leaves Kadapa so early. The hill to the north, around 380 m, gave the place its earlier name, Kanakagiri, the gold hill. From here the road runs east. The driver fills diesel nearby while the group eats.
Lunch
Lunch for the group is at Guntur, 590 km out, at a meals hotel with bus parking booked ahead. Expect Andhra meals with gongura; the chillies of Guntur make the food hot, so request a milder dal for elders. Allow forty five minutes. Guntur ranks among the great chilli markets of India. Vijayawada, the second night's halt, is about 35 km on. Do a head count before leaving the hotel.
Second night
The second night is at Vijayawada, 625 km from Bangalore. The coach crosses the Krishna on the Prakasam Barrage, completed in 1957, and parks at the hotel. High above the river on Indrakeeladri hill stands the Kanaka Durga temple, a short ride for anyone wanting an evening darshan. Book rooms for the whole coach in advance. Day three to Annavaram is about 230 km along NH16. Collect the room keys list from the group leader on arrival.
Morning tea
On day three the coach halts near Eluru, 685 km out, for tea. Eluru produces pile carpets and textiles. Kolleru Lake, about 15 km away, is a Ramsar wetland and the largest shallow freshwater lake in Asia, full of birds in the cold months. NH16 here is a wide highway, easy for a coach. Take a head count before moving on. Elders can stretch their legs at the halt. The delta road is flat and green.
Breakfast
Breakfast for the coach is at Rajahmundry, 775 km out, headquarters of East Godavari district on the Godavari. Book the hotel ahead and allow forty minutes. The coach crosses the river on its long road bridges. Shops here sell pootharekulu, the paper thin sweet from nearby Atreyapuram. The Kadiam plant nurseries, covering about 3,500 acres, are roughly 10 km away. Remind everyone to carry their temple clothes in the hand bag.
Arrival
On the morning of day three, after about 20 hours of driving in total, the coach reaches Annavaram. The group gets down at the temple cottages or lodges booked earlier. Annavaram sits on NH16, about 18 km from Tuni and 51 km from Kakinada. The collective Satyanarayana Vratam is the principal ritual, and Karthika month brings the biggest crowds, so the group leader confirms the slot early. The driver parks near the cottages and waits for the return plan.
Is a village group, an association or a large family of 30 to 50 going to Annavaram for the vratam? A Bangalore to Annavaram bus puts the whole group on one vehicle, with one driver and halts where a coach can park. Reserve a bus on rent in Bangalore from Tejas Tours & Travels.

About 855 km from Bangalore by Chintamani, Madanapalle, Kadapa, Kanigiri, Guntur and Vijayawada, then NH16 past Eluru and Rajahmundry, so about 1,710 km for the round trip. A bus needs about 20 hours of driving, over three days with nights at Kadapa and Vijayawada.
The 50 seater bus for 6 days (1,800 km) at ₹54/km comes to ₹97,200. Add ₹6,000 for the driver, and tolls, permits and GST at actual.
Yes. We quote ₹2 a km over the return rate, counting the empty run back, so the total is fixed before you pay.
The 40 seater, with a little room for bags. All sizes are on bus on rent in Bangalore.
Yes. A bus needs about 21 hours of driving each way, so we split it: a 4 am start and a night at Vijayawada, then the last 230 km next morning. Six days are billed, which leaves time at the temple.
Yes. The bus pays the AP permit for the trip. It is billed at actual, with tolls, parking and GST.
November to February is the best for a big group. March to June is very hot inland and humid on the coast. Karthika month is the peak season at the temple, with large crowds for the vratam. The coast gets rain from June to November, and late season cyclones can stop traffic for a day.
The two night halts keep each day short. Seat elders in the front rows near the door, and keep their medicines and water in a seat bag. Book ground floor rooms at Kadapa and Vijayawada for elders who find stairs hard. Halts come every two hours or so.
