Getting Around Wardha
These are semi-express; slight AC available on some services. Alight at Wardha bus stand, then take a shared auto (₹20) or walk 15 min to Nagarjun Inn. Book via MSRTC app or buy from counter.
Pre-book through the hotel or a local operator like Wardha Taxi; airport counter rates are higher. Shared taxis are rare on this route, so expect a private car.
