Early boarding
For a wedding party or a group of about 20 going to Guntur, the mini bus boards at 5 am at one spot near Old Madras Road. This is a two day drive: about 255 km to Kadapa on day one, with a night there, and the rest to Guntur the next morning. Luggage goes in the rear boot, with an overnight bag for each person on top. The bus turns off at Hoskote for Chintamani and Madanapalle.

Through Hoskote
The mini bus passes Hoskote, 30 km out, and leaves NH75 for the two lane road north east towards Chintamani. Hoskote is a satellite city of Bangalore now, famous for its morning mutton biryani; with twenty people on board, the queues there would cost too much time, so breakfast is planned further on. Everyone can sleep a little. Our office is in Hoskote, close to the route. Seat the elders near the door.

Tea halt
A fifteen minute tea and restroom halt at Chintamani, 75 km out, at a fuel station with space for the mini bus. The town is a taluk headquarters with large silk and tomato markets, so the driver avoids the market lanes. Buy a few packets of chakli and nippat for the bus; it is a long day. After Chintamani the road crosses into Andhra Pradesh. Tell the group the halt times for the day.

Breakfast
Breakfast for the group at Madanapalle, 130 km out, at a hotel on the bypass where the mini bus can park. Pesarattu and upma are quick for twenty if the driver calls ahead. Keep 30 minutes and count heads. Madanapalle, the Annamayya district headquarters, is a big tomato market town, so its centre is slow in the mornings. The road on through Rayalaseema is dry and open. Refill the water bottles before the dry stretch.

Drive through
The mini bus keeps going through Rayachoti, 205 km out, as the night halt at Kadapa is only an hour away. Rayachoti is an old town on the Mandavya river, with a Veerabhadra Swamy temple said to be a thousand years old. NH40 from Kurnool to Chittoor meets NH340 here. The land is stony and dry, so draw the curtains and keep water handy. Ask the group to keep valuables in hand for the hotel.

Night halt
Day one ends at Kadapa, 255 km from Bangalore, in the early afternoon. Book rooms for twenty in advance; the city has hotels of every kind, and the mini bus parks in the hotel yard. Evening meals can be the local karam dosa or a Rayalaseema plate of ragi sangati with natu kodi. Kadapa lies south of the Penna river, surrounded on three sides by hills. Fill the tank tonight; the next stretch has small towns.

Morning tea
Day two starts early from Kadapa, and the first tea halt is at Badvel, 345 km from Bangalore. Badvel is a revenue division headquarters of Kadapa district on the road towards Kanigiri. The road here is narrower and quieter, with small villages, so the mini bus moves steadily rather than fast. Fifteen minutes for tea and the restroom, then the group heads for Kanigiri, about 80 km on. Count heads before leaving.

Breakfast
Kanigiri, 425 km out, is the breakfast stop on day two. Small hotels open early for tea and tiffin, and later serve Andhra meals with gongura. The town is low and warm, at about 95 m, with Kanigiri hill rising to about 380 m on its north side; the name comes from Kanakagiri, gold hill. Keep 30 minutes, count heads, and the bus heads east for the coastal plain. Refill water bottles here.

Lunch
Lunch at Addanki, 510 km out, a Prakasam district town on the coastal plain at about 24 m. Andhra meals here come with gongura pickle, and the tea stalls fry mirchi bajji. For twenty people, order ahead and keep 40 minutes. An early Telugu verse inscription is named after the town. Cotton and chilli fields line the last 75 km to Guntur. Ask the venue to keep the gate clear for the bus.

Venue drop
The mini bus reaches Guntur in the afternoon of day two, about 13 hours of driving in all. It drops the group at the venue or hotel and parks nearby. Guntur is one of the biggest chilli trading centres of the country, and a bag of chillies from the market yard is the usual souvenir. Spicy Andhra meals and mirchi bajji are everywhere. Vijayawada is about 35 km away if the group has another stop there.

About 585 km one way by Hoskote, Chintamani, Madanapalle, Kadapa, Badvel, Kanigiri and Addanki, so about 1,170 km for the round trip. A mini bus needs about 13 hours of driving, split over two days with a night at Kadapa.
The 20 seater mini bus: 1,200 km over 4 days at ₹34/km, which makes ₹40,800. ₹2,800 for the driver on top; tolls, permits and GST at actual.
Yes, on request. A drop is ₹2 a km above the return rate; the empty return is counted in the quote we send.
The 18 seater keeps two seats for luggage on the Guntur run. Sizes are on mini bus on rent in Bangalore.
About 13 hours with halts. Leave by 5 am and you reach by evening, or halt the night at Kadapa and arrive fresh. The 4 billed days cover either plan.
Yes. Vijayawada is about 35 km from Guntur. If the local runs take the trip past 1,200 km, the extra km are added at the same rate.
November to February is the most comfortable. From March to June the inland stretch through Kadapa and Kanigiri is very hot, so the group should travel early and rest after lunch. Rain comes to the Guntur side from June to November, and the narrow road after Kadapa is driven more slowly then.
One small overnight bag with clothes, toiletries and medicines, kept on top in the rear boot so the big bags stay packed until Guntur. Carry water and snacks for the bus. The group leader keeps the hotel booking at Kadapa and a list of names and phone numbers.
