One group. One vehicle. One trip.

For 10 to 17 people, several small cars turn a holiday into coordination. One Traveller keeps everyone on the same road at the same time.

Three to five carsThe group splits
  • The group separatesDifferent drivers, different arrival times at every stop.
  • Calls to find each other"Where are you?" at every viewpoint and every lunch.
  • Luggage in the wrong carBags split across boots; someone's jacket is always elsewhere.
  • Half the group misses the storyThe driver's explanation reaches one car, not five.
One TravellerEveryone together
  • One pickup, one routeOne departure time, one set of timings for the whole group.
  • One driver who knows the roadSunrise timings, food stops and the slow bends, handled.
  • Luggage loaded onceOverhead rack for small bags; everything travels together.
  • Same view, same story, same timeEveryone hears the same explanation at the same viewpoint.

What a Koraput trip costs

One written price for the whole vehicle, never per seat, and never before you have seen the route. This is what moves the figure.

  • Where we pick you upKoraput, Semiliguda and Jeypore are local. Rayagada, Araku, Visakhapatnam or Bhubaneswar mean the Traveller comes to you first.
  • How far the route runsAn evening at Kolab and a full day at Duduma are not the same drive.
  • How many daysMulti-day trips are quoted as a block, which usually works out lower per day.
  • Night halts and early startsIf the vehicle stays out overnight, the driver's stay is in the quote and named there.
