Our mission
Make South-Indian travel bookable in one minute — by anyone, in any language they're comfortable in, at the same price they'd get at the counter. No jargon, no hidden fees, no hold music.
The friendly travel desk, since 2011
One team that books your buses, tours, amusement parks, hotels and rental vehicles across South India — on a single call, with a single bill.
Our story
Who we are
A Hyderabad-born travel desk that's been booking South India's trips since 2011.
BestBus started in 2011 as a small bus-booking desk in Hyderabad — two phones, one whiteboard of routes, and a promise that every traveller who called would talk to a person, not a machine. Word spread the way it does in India: an aunty told a colony, a colony told a college, and soon we were putting whole wedding parties on Volvos to Tirupati and Shirdi.
Fifteen years on, that desk has grown into an authorized partner of IRCTC, Telangana Tourism, AP Tourism, Karnataka Tourism, Ramoji Film City and Wonderla. The idea, though, hasn't changed one bit: real people on call, one bill for the whole trip, and no hopping between five apps to plan a single holiday.
What drives us
Mission & vision
Honest pricing and real people on call — travel planning without the runaround.
Our vision
Every bus seat, hotel room and park gate in the region reachable from one friendly desk — so a family in Warangal can plan Ooty as easily as a techie in Bangalore books a cab.
