It depends on your Convenience. It’s almost 1200 km. Cash doesn’t matter you can choose flight travel you can find of lot of online air booking sites yatra,goibibo,makemytrip etc. If you want to travel by train you can find it easily on irctc. Or you can find good bus transports at online with the help of redbus,abhibus,myticketbuddy, Travelyaari etc etc. It totally depends on your economy and time. Thank me later.

Chennai to pune is 1190 kms and it will take 15 to 16 hours .So its advise to take a train as 1st option.If train not available then think of a sleeper bus as that may be more comfortable to travel

Think train would be a better option. Buses might pass through cities and highways, which might not offer all the views you ar looking for. AC buses also have closed tinted windows and have less stops compared to trains. Trains do slowdown and stop during the journey, should give better photo-ops.

Train, hands down. It’s the way to travel in India, unless you’re in such a blazing hurry that you need to fly (and you don’t appear to be). Trains are:

  1. cheaper, as you’ve already discovered, even in the AC sleeper class (you’ll want to steer clear of non-AC as a first-timer in India)
  2. more comfortable, since the rails are smooth and you can move around the carriages, instead of being stuck in a bus over potholed Indian roads
  3. safer, since Indian roads are awful and your bus is liable to drive off a cliff and/or crash with some hopped-up long distance truck driver
  4. more predictable and hence likely faster, since trains are generally punctual (by Indian standards…), while roads often get jammed and journey times can vary greatly

And yes, trains will give you an uncensored view of the countryside, including lots of people using the trackside as a public toilet…
