Guest guest Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Dear Sundarajan, Oh dear, I made a mistake there. Yes, of course from Mumbai. The Ashram will arrange a taxi to meet him at the Airport if he is booked in there, and there is no return fare. If he is staying in Tiru outside the Ashram then I can arrange a taxi for him without return fare. 2000 Rupees. There are trains from Mumbai to Tamil Nadu, but I do not know the details. Thanks for pointing out the error.

I think it should besaid that your directions are from Chennai. Zeal has to take a train(24hrs) or flight (2hrs) to Chennai.We have to pay for the return trip of the taxi, even if we are goingonly one way. Probably 2000Rs by taxi from Chennai includes the returnfare.sundar, Alan Jacobs<alanadamsjacobs@ ...> wrote:>> Dear Zeal,> > Taxi is simplest.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Vathsala, Thanks for the information. I have been going by car all these days. Now that (as I found in my last trip in 2007) the road has been excellently paved, a bus trip should be quite comfortable enough and more green. sundar , vathsala k <vathsala.koneri wrote: > > Dear Zeal,Sundararajan & others,From Chennai Koyambedu Bus Depot right from > morning every half an hour a bus is there for Thiruvannamalai > during peak time.It takes 3.5 hrs to 4 hours by bus to reach > tiruvannamalai, > Please check up with cmbt,koyambedu,chennai. > Best wishes, > K.Vathsala > > On Thu, Feb 26, 2009 at 7:27 PM, Alan Jacobs <alanadamsjacobswrote: > > > Dear Sundarajan, > > > > Oh dear, I made a mistake there.
