Hi everyone! I recently helped organize a family pilgrimage/trip to Kedarnath, and I wanted to share a quick tip for anyone traveling in a group of 8 to 15 people.
We were torn between booking two SUVs or a bus, but we eventually went with a Maharaja Tempo Traveller. Honestly, it was a game-changer for the long haul. Unlike the standard models, the 'Maharaja' version has those plush 1x1 reclining seats (feels like business class on wheels) and much better legroom.
A few things to look for when booking:
-
Seating: Ensure it’s the 1x1 configuration for maximum comfort.
-
Amenities: Most come with LED TVs, charging points at every seat, and a powerful AC system that actually reaches the back.
-
Luggage: It has a dedicated boot space, so you don’t have to sit with bags at your feet.
If you’re looking for a reliable provider, I found some great options through India Tour Taxi. They were quite transparent with the per-km pricing.
Has anyone else used these for hill station trips? I’m curious if the air suspension makes a big difference on winding roads!
