Hyderabad Airport (Shamsabad) – Connectivity from City (Mehdipatnam)

I have written about the bus service from various points in the city to the new airport at Shamsabad. In that post I provided a map of the Begumpet area with the Paryatak Bhavan highlighted. Since then some more information has cropped up.

The buses run every 30 minutes from Paryatak Bhavan, Begumpet, and the run takes about 1 hr 30 mins. No stops in between. There is likely to be a rush for seats. Tickets are available on the bus. The fare is Rs. 95/-, inclusive of taxes.

The second boarding point is Sarojini Devi Eye Hospital at Mehdipatnam. The hospital is actually in Humayun Nagar on the road from Masab Tank (NMDC Office) to Mehdipatnam. See maps below.

The map below shows a large chunk of Hyderabad with the following locations highlighted:

• Hi-Tech City, Madhapur
• Jubilee Hills Check Post area
• Sarojini Devi Eye Hospital, Mehdipatnam (red circle towards the bottom of the map)
• Paryatak Bhavan, Begumpet (pink circle near Hussain Sagar lake)

At this time I have no information about the exact spot near Sarojini Devi Eye Hospital where the shuttles pick up passengers. I do know that the area is crowded with shops and sees a lot of traffic. The road from Masab Tank towards Mehdipatnam is the main conduit for all traffic going towards the Old Bombay Highway, Bangalore Highway & the Srisailam Highway. Plus the area is densely populated.

If you are traveling from the Madhapur area it might be better to board the shuttle from Begumpet.
