Our own Traveller, now running trips
A Force Traveller is a large passenger van; Force Motors, an Indian vehicle maker, builds it. We bought ours new in September 2026. It is air conditioned and holds a valid all-India permit. None of the photographs on this page are stock or generated images — every one shows this Traveller. See the vehicle page for the full specification.
All 17 passenger seats are for your group
The driver does not use any of the 17 passenger seats, and support staff do not travel in the vehicle either — you can reach our support contact by phone throughout the trip.
- 17 is a legal limit. A child on your lap still counts towards it.
- Luggage: big suitcases go on the roof luggage carrier and small bags on the overhead rack, so all 17 of you can bring big luggage.
- Car-sick on ghat roads? Ask for a front-row or window seat.
- More than 17 people? We own one Traveller. For bigger groups we can sometimes arrange a second vehicle with a partner operator; if that is not possible, we will tell you plainly.
Who drives you, and how we stay reachable
A local driver drives your group for the whole trip. The day before, we send the meeting point and the driver's number on WhatsApp, and the driver reaches the pickup point before the agreed time. If your train or flight runs late, message the driver — we wait.
Where we pick you up and drop you
- Koraput: the railway station, the bus stand or your hotel
- Jeypore: the town, the bus stand or Jeypore Airport
- Semiliguda: our base
- Railway stations: Koraput Junction, Damanjodi, Jeypore, Araku and Rayagada
- Visakhapatnam: the railway station and the airport
- Vizianagaram: on request
The road from Visakhapatnam via Araku takes about five hours, more with stops. For every train, flight and bus into Koraput, see how to reach Koraput.
Where the Traveller takes you
- Deomali: Odisha's highest peak. We are happy to start before sunrise if you want to catch it from the top. Full Deomali guide.
- Duduma Waterfall: on the Odisha–Andhra Pradesh border, best in the monsoon, June to September, when the falls are loud and large. As of 26 September 2026, the locomotive ride advertised there is not open to tourists. Full Duduma guide.
- Gupteswar cave temple: a Shiva shrine reached by a climb of about 200 steps. Full Gupteswar guide.
- Sabara Srikhetra: Koraput's Jagannath temple, with a yearly chariot festival much like Puri's Rath Yatra. Full temple guide.
We also run half-day sightseeing trips, with pickup from your home or a wedding venue. We plan long hill drives for daylight and avoid hill roads late at night.
How a quote and a booking work
Send your dates, group size and route on WhatsApp and we send one written price for the whole vehicle the same day; it covers the agreed route and number of days, not a per-kilometre rate. A booking advance of ₹3,000 per day of the trip holds your dates, and cancelling or moving them before the trip starts is free. See how WhatsApp booking works and refunds and cancellations for the detail.
