I had started a discussion: We want to visit Ramoji Film City http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2487391.aspx?p=0 But there was not much response that could be of help. I knew there will be heavy rush and also the entry tickets rates will be higher on Saturday and Sunday, so in spite of my illness, it was viral fever, I moved with my wife, my son, his wife and granddaughter Subhee, as my elder son and his wife kids were out for 2 days. We left home at 9am, one auto dropped us at LB Nagar chaurasta, he charged 90.00 rupees, next we hired another to drop at entry gate of Ramoji film city, as per our bargained rate we paid 200.00, but I could guess it would have been around 100 to 150.00 only. We bought entry tickets there; rate was higher than that shown in their website. Adults’ ticket was 600 each and child 500 each. From there one bus of Ramojifilm city dropped at the entry point named ‘Eureka’. Here there were some free games to play were available, we took some tea and snacks and rode one of the several red colored bus for a round of the film city, a guide was there in bus to explain everything. In the film city we saw plaster replica of famous places of all countries in the world, gardens, railway stations, and air strips, banks, police stations, highways, hospitals, hotels, Ajanta caves to mention a few. They spread over 1666 acres of land. We ate in the ‘Dil se’ restaurant. Food was pure vegetarian, buffet type; eat as much as you can for 140.00 rupees per head. The food included cooked rice, sambar, veg-curries, curd, sweet spaghetti cooked in milk, salad and ice-cream. There were so many free shows too. At 6pm, their bus dropped us back at the entry gate on the high way. From there we hired another auto that dropped us home at 9pm for 250.00 rupees. The total expense was 4000 rupees only. Not bad for 4 adults and one baby. I had complained in writing at the help-desk about non-update of entry rates etc in the website. I was so happy to receive an email at 10pm, telling me that things have been updated. [i][b]It was a nice and wonderful sightseeing. The Tirupati journey was worst. Hope visitors will find this useful. If you are coming India, visit this place once. Here too we had to walk to enjoy, body pain I had to face.[/b][/i]Professor ‘Bhuwan’. .
