    We will arrange transportation if you have already given your arrival and departure details. The distance between the airport and the meeting venue is about 70km. Please come out of the airport and look for a driver identifying himelf with "ISM06" poster. In case you do not see, do not panic! The guy may just be reaching! Wait for about half an hour. If you do not see the driver, there are these three possibilities.

    (1) The travel agent who is handling our transportation is called "Zip Travels". You can call them up at 254 3943 and ask them to send a car (identifying yourself as an ISM06 participant). You do not have to pay them. We will take care of it.

    (2) There is a pre-paid Taxi counter at the airport. Show the hotel address and pay the taxi charges (around 700 to 800 Rupees) and take the bill (very important). Identify your taxi and reach Toshali. Once you give us the bill, we will try to reimburse the money.
