Private Transportation
The multiple routes leading to the venue are narrow and not completely tarred. The regular road via Timmapur to Chegur is under repairs with three bridges under construction. We have made our best efforts to get them into shape and have also planned optimally to leverage multiple routes. Everyone coming on their own are advised as follows:
Coming from Hyderabad city or through Outer Ring Road All private cars, taxis and hired buses coming from Hyderabad city or ORR are advised to enter Kanha through the SRCM Farm entrance on the Shamshabad-Shabad road.

Coming on NH7 via Shadnagar or Jadcherla All private cars and hired buses coming on NH7 are advised to take the Shadnagar–Theegapur Road towards Symbiosis College and proceed towards Kanha through the main entrance.

We are generally graced with rains during the celebrations which affect the condition of roads. The venue is also surrounded by several villages and a lot of traffic causes inconvenience to the villagers. They are not only adversely affected by dust and smoke, it is also a safety concern for children and the elderly. Hence, we request all nearby centres to carpool or bus pool as much as possible. We expect your sincere cooperation. This will help us tremendously.
Private Vehicles Parking and Speed Limits: Please park your vehicles only in designated parking areas. All internal roads will be closed for unauthorized vehicles during the celebrations. Please cooperate at the venue.
The speed limit is 20 kms/hr within the ashram premises at Kanha, to provide a safe environment for everyone. Please no speeding, honking and anything that disturbs the meditative conditions of the seekers. These restrictions apply to both private and commercial vehicles and whoever violates them will receive strict penalties.
Return Transportation
Shuttle buses and taxis are being arranged to the airport and railway stations from 11 February onwards. The locations for boarding the buses and taxis are:
Shuttle buses towards Airport from Comfort Dorm Parking
