The Ultimate
Puri Travel Guide

Booking takes less than 30 seconds. Simply click the WhatsApp button, share your pickup location, destination, date, and travel time — and you'll receive a fixed-fare quote instantly. Once confirmed, you'll get the driver's name, photo, and vehicle details before pickup. You can also call us at +91-9348438989, available 24/7.

No app download is required. You can book entirely via WhatsApp or a phone call. This makes it easy for first-time visitors, senior citizens, and pilgrims who prefer straightforward communication over navigating an app.

Most bookings are settled by cash or UPI (GPay / PhonePe) at the time of the ride. The full fare is quoted upfront before you confirm — there are no hidden charges added later.

For regular trips, same-day booking is often possible. However, during peak seasons like Rath Yatra, Diwali, or major festival periods, we strongly recommend booking 7–10 days in advance to guarantee vehicle availability and lock in your fixed fare.

Yes. If you need to reschedule or cancel, contact us as early as possible on WhatsApp or by phone. Our team will try to accommodate changes wherever possible. Cancellation terms are shared at the time of booking confirmation.

Our typical WhatsApp response time is under 2 minutes. Once confirmed, you'll receive all driver and vehicle details before your travel date. For late-night or early-morning bookings, our 24/7 support team is always available.

All fares are fixed and fully transparent — there is no haggling, no surge pricing, and no last-minute additions. The price quoted on WhatsApp is exactly what you pay. This applies to all routes including Puri–Bhubaneswar, Konark, Chilika, and airport transfers.

No. Tolls, parking fees, and driver allowance are all included in the stated fare. Unlike local street operators, we do not charge extras at the end of the trip. What you see is what you pay — always.

Our Puri local tours include a dedicated AC cab, driver, waiting time at each attraction, and driver allowance — all in a single fixed fare. Popular stops include Jagannath Temple, Golden Beach, Gundicha Temple, Narendra Pokhari, and Swargadwar. You can customise the itinerary based on your preferences.

Both packages include round-trip AC cab, driver, and waiting time at the destination. For the Chilika Lake (Satpada) package, the boat ride charges are separate and paid directly at the official government jetty. We also offer a premium Konark Roundtrip package with Marine Drive views.

You are paying for verified drivers, GPS-tracked vehicles, sanitized AC cabs, and 24/7 support. Street taxis may overcharge, lack AC, or cancel last minute — especially during peak season. The small price difference gives you complete peace of mind, especially for temple visits and family travel.

We operate Sedans (Swift Dzire / Etios) for 4 passengers, SUVs (Maruti Ertiga / Toyota Innova Crysta) for 6–7 passengers, and Tempo Travellers in 13, 17, and 26-seat configurations for larger groups and pilgrim parties. All vehicles are fully air-conditioned and sanitized.

The Toyota Innova Crysta (7-seater) is our top recommendation for families. It offers premium highway comfort, ample luggage space, and a smooth ride. For groups of 8–12, a 13-seater Tempo Traveller is the most comfortable option.

VIP Darshan and special-entry tickets at Jagannath Temple must be arranged through official temple administration channels or authorized priests (Sevayats). Our role is to provide reliable, timely transportation — our drivers can drop you at the correct gate and guide you on queue procedures.

Our early morning Konark Sunrise taxi departs from Puri at approximately 4:30 AM, reaching Chandrabhaga Beach for a breathtaking sunrise over the sea, followed by a full tour of the UNESCO Sun Temple.
