We quote per trip, in writing, before you pay anything. This page explains how that number is built, so you can tell whether a quote from anyone is fair.
- Quoted
- Per trip, not per seat
- Included
- Vehicle, driver, fuel, tolls
- Quote time
- Usually the same day

How booking works
- Nothing is charged until the itinerary, the price and the vehicle are confirmed in writing on WhatsApp.
- A booking advance holds the dates. The balance is due at the end of the trip.
- The advance is requested on the official UPI QR with a booking reference, sent privately.
If you need to cancel
- More than 7 days before departure
- The advance is refunded in full.
- 3 to 7 days before departure
- The advance is retained; nothing further is charged.
- Inside 48 hours
- 15% of the agreed trip price.

Also worth knowing
- Tolls, parking and permits on the agreed route are already in the quote.
- A night halt away from Semiliguda is charged at the rate quoted with your itinerary.
- Stops added on the day are priced before we drive to them, never after.

How the fare is worked out
One Traveller, one agreed route, one figure for the whole group. We do not quote per person and we do not meter the kilometres on the day, because a group that stops for two hours at Duduma should not pay more than one that stops for twenty minutes. What we need in order to price it is the shape of the trip.
- Where we pick you up. Koraput, Semiliguda and Jeypore are local. Rayagada, Araku, Visakhapatnam or Bhubaneswar mean the vehicle travels to you first.
- How far the route runs. A Kolab evening and a Duduma day are not the same drive.
- How many days. Multi-day trips are quoted as a block, which usually works out lower per day than separate day trips.
- Night halt. If the vehicle stays out overnight, the driver's stay and allowance are part of the quote and we say so.
- Season. Puja, the winter holidays and long weekends are tighter on availability.
- Early starts. A 4:30 am Deomali sunrise is a longer working day than a nine o'clock start.
What the quote includes
- The 17-seater AC Traveller for the agreed days.
- An experienced local driver, including early mornings.
- Fuel, tolls, parking and permits for the agreed route.
- Trip planning before you travel and support on WhatsApp while you are here.
What it does not include
- Meals, drinks and anything you buy on the road.
- Hotels for your group, and entry or camera tickets at monuments.
- Guide fees where a site has its own guides.
- Extra places added on the day, which we will price on the spot before we drive there.
The trips we are asked to price most often
- Deomali day trip from Koraput or Semiliguda, sunrise or sunset.
- Duduma and Machkund, a full day south-west.
- Two days: the town, Kolab, Deomali and Rani Duduma.
- Three days, which is what most groups end up booking.
- Four days, adding Gupteswar and the Maliguda railway.
- Station, airport and bus-stand transfers on their own.

Why there is no rate card on this page
Because a fixed per-kilometre card would be wrong for most of you. A Bhubaneswar group arriving at Koraput Junction and a Visakhapatnam group we collect from their doorstep are different trips in the same Traveller. We would rather read your dates and send one honest number than publish a figure that changes the moment you ask a real question.
How to get an exact price in one message
Send these five lines on WhatsApp and you usually have a written quote the same day.
- Travel dates, or the month if the dates are still open.
- Number of travellers, and rough luggage.
- Pickup point: station, airport, hotel or another city.
- Number of days in Koraput.
- Places you want to include, or just say how many days you have.
No payment is requested until the itinerary, price and availability are confirmed in writing. Only then do we share the UPI details and a booking reference, privately on WhatsApp.
