About us

Local for forty years

MohanTrips is run by people who live in Pithapuram — not an agency listing rooms from another city.

Draft copy, written from what you told me. Send me your own version of the story — family name, when it started, what you began with — and I'll put your words in place of mine.

For four decades we have lived and worked in Pithapuram. In that time we have come to know this town the way you only can by staying in one place — which purohit performs which ritual properly, how the temple timings shift through Karthika Masam and Pitru Paksha, which road is quicker when the rains come, and where a family of twelve can be fed at four in the morning before a ceremony.

That knowledge does not stop at the town boundary. Our ground familiarity runs roughly two hundred kilometres in every direction — the Pancharama temples at Samalkot and Draksharama, Annavaram on its hill, the Godavari at Rajahmundry, the coast at Kakinada and Uppada, and as far as Visakhapatnam. When a family asks whether they can fit Annavaram and Draksharama into the same day, we answer from experience rather than from a map.

MohanTrips began with accommodation, and rooms are still the heart of what we do. But pilgrim families rarely need only a room. They need a priest who will turn up on time, meals that fit around a fast, a vehicle that seats everyone, and someone who picks up the phone when plans change. So we arrange all of it — from one desk, with one number to call.
