Hyderabad:

The Andhra Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation has decided to introduce a South India tour by non-Air Conditioned coach to lure the not-so-affluent sections of society.

At present, the corporation is offering a package of journey by a Volvo climatizer coach and AC accommodation at destinations across south India.

The 14-day tour, organised twice a month on demand from Hyderabad, on 1st and 16th of every month, covers Bengaluru, Srirangapatanam, Mysore, Sravanabelagola, Halebidu, Belur, Guruvayoor, Kochi, Thiruvanantapuram, Suchindram, Kanyakumari, Madurai, Rameswaram, Tiruchi Srirangam, Tanjavur, Kumbakonam, Puducherry, Mahabalipuram, Kanchi, Star temple, Tiruttani and Tirupati.

“This is a very successful package and we have been receiving requests for opening an economy package in the same tour. So we have plans to start the same tour in non-AC segment too,” said a  spokesman.

And when quizzed about the rising temperatures and the inconvenience that might be caused to the travellers, he said, “the summer is almost over and rains are expected by the first week of June. This should not be a concern.”

Further information can be obtained over phone 09848007028/ 040 23450444, 23455999.
