Group pickup
A bus of forty or more boards best at one roomy point, such as the Palace Board parking near the Varaha gate, which takes buses. Start at five; a 480 km day with a full bus runs about twelve hours. Check the news before you book a date, because the Kaveri water issue sometimes brings bandh days and demonstrations. Luggage goes in the hold, so only a small bag comes inside. The coordinator should have the list ready for a head count before the bus moves. Breakfast is at Devanahalli, about 185 km out.

City bypass
A full bus should never cross the city centre, and NICE Road is the way round. The bus leaves the expressway near Kumbalgodu and follows the toll ring to Tumkur Road, then the Outer Ring Road to Hebbal and the highway north. Bus tolls are high and are billed at actual. Daytime traffic in the centre is slow for a full size bus, one more reason to stay on the ring. No stops here; breakfast orders can be phoned ahead to Devanahalli.

Breakfast for forty
Devanahalli is about 185 km out, beside NH44 near the airport. Call ahead from the bus so a big highway hotel is ready with breakfast for forty; parking for a coach is on the highway side. From mid November to mid February fog sits on this stretch between about 3 and 8:30 am, so in winter the bus may arrive a little later than planned. The busy Sadahalli toll is just before town. Keep forty five minutes with the restrooms and the head count. Bagepalli is about 55 km on.

Tea break
Bagepalli, about 240 km from Mysore, is the short tea break before Andhra. The bus pulls in at the highway side, not in the town lanes. There is a toll plaza on NH44 here, then the bus turns north east towards Kadiri on the Hindupur to Kadiri road. The land is dry and drought prone, groundnut country. One whistle from the coordinator, and the group is back in. The Andhra permit for the coach is paid at the border and billed at cost. Lunch at Kadiri is about 80 km ahead.

Lunch for the group
Kadiri is the lunch stop, about 320 km out. Big buses park in the open ground near the temple, a short walk from the gate. Book lunch for the whole group in advance; Andhra meals with podi and pickles are fast to serve. Keep an hour for lunch and darshan at the Khadri Lakshmi Narasimha temple. On Shivaratri thousands head to the Thimmamma Marrimanu jatara near Kadiri, so avoid that day or expect slow roads. Ahobilam is about 160 km ahead.

Bypass
At Pulivendula, about 360 km from Mysore, the bus usually takes the bypass and does not enter town. It is a Kadapa district town at around 272 m, and the afternoon is hot, so keep the AC on and water bottles handy. Stop only if someone needs the restroom; a fuel pump with space for a coach is better than the narrow main road. The road ahead to Allagadda is about 95 km. Ahobilam is about 120 km away, roughly three hours for a full bus.

Fuel and tea
At Allagadda the bus stops on the highway side, not in the narrow town roads. This is the last fuel before the hills, so the driver fills up for the local runs. Tea and snacks are sold near the bus stand. Allagadda is a revenue division town on the Kadapa to Kurnool road, about 118 km from Kurnool. From here it is roughly 25 km to Ahobilam. Keep the halt to fifteen minutes so the group arrives with some daylight.

Arrive and park
With the halts above, the bus takes about twelve hours from Mysore. Big buses park in the open ground near Lower Ahobilam, a short walk from the rooms and the mutt. The group goes on to the hill and forest shrines in local jeeps or smaller vehicles, booked on the spot. Food is simple vegetarian fare at the mutt and a few hotels, so let them know the head count early. The village is in the Nallamala forest; start each day early, because afternoons are hot.

Ahobilam is about 480 km from Mysore, so about 960 km for the round trip. The bus takes the expressway and NICE Road, NH44 north to Bagepalli, then the Kadiri, Pulivendula and Allagadda road, keeping to bypasses. With breakfast, lunch and tea halts for a full group, plan on about twelve hours by bus.
No, they are separate. Tolls, parking, permits and GST are added at actual cost.
Under 35, the 33 or 35 seater; around 40, the 40 seater; 45 to 50, the 45, 49 or 50 seater. Compare sizes on bus on rent in Mysore.
Yes, that works. Give us the date and head count, and the one way fare comes back in writing.
A night allowance applies when driving goes past 10 pm; we show it on the quote.
Big buses usually stop at Lower Ahobilam; your group goes up in jeeps or smaller vehicles.
Yes. After Bagepalli the bus takes the Hindupur to Kadiri road, then NH42 at Kadiri and the Kadapa to Kurnool road at Allagadda. These take a coach, but town centres are narrow, so the driver keeps to bypasses and stops on the highway side. The last stretch into Ahobilam is slower.
Plan three meal points, breakfast at Devanahalli, lunch at Kadiri and dinner at Ahobilam. We phone ahead so the hotels are ready. Food is limited after Kadiri, so the coordinator should carry biscuits, fruit and water for the afternoon. At Ahobilam give the mutt or hotel the head count early.
