Most buses in India don’t have toilets on board but there will be several toilet stops along the way. There are both seater and sleeper bus options, but since the trip is quite long we’d recommend you opt for sleeper seats which recline and will make your travel more comfortable.

Snacks and water are not served on board, but one can purchase food at the multiple stops the bus makes on the journey.

In the evening or early night, many of the buses will show movies or local TV shows on an overhead screen.

The ticket prices tend to be similar to a flight ticket.

The Sleeper Class is much cheaper but does not have air-conditioning, can have up to fourteen berths in a compartment and does not serve complimentary meals.
