Kothrud is one of the biggest residential areas in Pune, and most group plans here start the same way. A cousin’s wedding on Karve Road, a housing society picnic from Mayur Colony, a college trip from near MIT WPU, or an office outing that has to leave Paud Road at 6 in the morning. In every one of these, the hard part is not finding a bus. It is finding a bus that turns up on time, is clean inside, and comes with a driver who knows the route.
That is the part we take care of. Shelke Travels runs from Karvenagar, about 4 to 6 km from most parts of Kothrud. Our buses and drivers start their day close to you, so an early morning pickup from Kothrud Depot or Vanaz does not mean a bus coming from the other end of the city. One coordinator handles your booking from the first call to the final drop, helps you pick the right seating capacity and briefs the driver on every pickup point.
Every bus is checked before it leaves our yard. Tyres, brakes, AC, lights and the music system are tested, and the seats, floor and windows are cleaned. Your quote shows the base fare, driver allowance, toll and parking separately, so nothing new gets added on the day you travel.

Most confusion about bus rent comes from the daily minimum. Here is how three common Kothrud bookings are priced, step by step.
The round trip is about 140 to 150 km, but outstation days are billed on a 300 km minimum. So Tiger Point, Bhushi Dam and Karla Caves can all fit in the same day without changing the price.
Hall on Karve Road, guests staying in Erandwane and a station drop at night. A local package covers 8 hours and 80 km, and if the function runs late, each extra hour is ₹500.
Kothrud to Mahabaleshwar and back is roughly 240 to 260 km by the Satara highway, so a same day return fits inside the 300 km day. Adding Panchgani or Pratapgad? Tell us and we send the revised total first.
The right bus depends on two things: how many people are travelling and how much luggage they carry. Wedding guests and multi day travellers carry more bags, so size up one step for those trips.

Travelling with fewer than 20 people? A tempo traveller on rent in Kothrud is often cheaper per head. For groups under 12, a Force Urbania in Kothrud or a Tata Winger gives a more comfortable ride.
