The road distance of 540kms from Hyderabad to Madanapalli is covered in 11 hours by a bus. I decided to visit Madanapalli by bus, as this is one of the cost effective ways of travelling. I quickly booked online bus tickets from redbus and chose to journey on a multi axle Ac semi sleeper bus.

The bus reservation portal lowered by hassles largely. It allowed me to select my seat next to the window via online and bus type too. Furthermore, they guarantee the strict principles of travel help, agreeable support of its travellers. The bus came with clean and comfortable interiors, and the staff was polite too. They provided water bottles and there was a TV installed in the bus that played songs or movies. I boarded the bus from Miyapur at 8:30pm and reached Madanapalli at 5:30am the next day. The travel went on for 10 hours with some rest stops given by the bus transport was an enduring experience. The bus passed through varied territories, lush greenery and long stretched of highways.
