Bus and trains tickets around India?

My guestimate would be around USD 500, if you are prepared to travel in ordinary (non-ac) buses and trains. In most of the routes, the trains would be awfully crowded and you may have to travel in III or II tier ac which will add to the cost. Travel in ordinary buses is dirt cheap. A major part of your journey will have to be covered on road as rail connectivity is not available everywhere.

Why did you omit the beautiful state of Kerala, the God's Own Country? From Madurai, go to Kochi (Cochin) from where you can take a bus to Bangalore.

Depending on the time of the year, trains will be overbooked as booking is available 60 days in advance.

Hi, first of all your question is zigzag according to me because as you know there is many travels company provide bus tickets on different price so how can any one tell exact price. Example, If you want to go Bangalore to Mangalore by bus then each travel company will charge different thus No one can suggest you exactly price so It will better for you check online for all these services. Moreover, If you are not aware about who is the best travel company then I'll let you know like Goibibo, as I've experience with theme. Also, You have to know that It's very easy to book online these days. Thanks
