Hi Lionel,

Please find below the details of the hotel and taxi you should take.

=========
Private cab service: Meru Cabs, Tel: 91-80-4422-4422

(Attention:

    Meru Cab has "Meru" written on the body of the cab. Our Meru cab is
    light green in colour. It has speed monitoring device inside the
    cab. Please check before you get in the cab. And it cost around
    US$ 20, for me it's 752 rs from Airport to the hotel.


The address to Panchvati Apartments (accommodation) is:
# 253/6&7, Vasanthapura Main Road, Off Kanakapura Main Road, Near Metro,
Bangalore 560078, Karnataka,

Please ask the driver to call the reception of hotel if he cannot find the place:
Ph: 080 32020300

The hotel has been informed with your arrival dates and times.

If the cab driver needs directions to the apartments, ask him to call
Reception: 080 32020300
Rafeeq (Manager): 9663384705

There are a lot of people to help you get to the accommodation, so no
need to worry. Wish you all a happy journey. I and Akhil will meet
everyone at the apartments on Saturday or on Sunday.

Do drop us a mail once you get to the accommodation.
