“The same routes by train and guesthouse”
Overnight trains, guesthouses and no private cars. Slower and a fraction of the price, and the trains are half the point.
Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it. Would send friends their way.
Well paced over 4 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Recommended.
Glad you enjoyed it. Hope to see you on another trip.
Telangana done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Would send friends their way.

Telangana done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Meals were good throughout and the vegetarian options weren't an afterthought.
Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it. Worth every rupee.
Thanks for writing this up. We've passed your note to the team.

Thank you. We've taken the point about the transfer and are reviewing it.
Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. Would book with them again.
It is the largest film studio complex in the world and it is also a theme park. If you are not interested in Telugu cinema, the Deccan granite outcrops — some of the oldest exposed rock on earth — are the better alternative and both operators offer the swap.
