About Us

🌏About Us

The name "rryokou" draws inspiration from the Japanese word "ryokō" (旅行), meaning "travel" or "journey." Just as the Japanese philosophy emphasizes mindful planning and attention to detail, we bring the same precision and care to your travel budget planning.

Rryokou is your modern travel companion, built for curious explorers who want more than just popular checklists. We're not just another travel planning platform – we're your trusted companion in transforming travel dreams into affordable realities.

What We Do

Rryokou is India's first comprehensive travel budget calculator designed specifically for the diverse landscape of tourism. We've meticulously categorized destinations across the country into intelligent pricing tiers, ensuring you get accurate, real-time budget estimates for your next adventure.

Our Core Features:

Smart Budget Calculator

Our proprietary algorithm considers destination tiers, seasonal variations, group sizes, and travel preferences to provide precise budget estimates tailored to your specific journey.

Comprehensive Destination Database

From the luxury palaces of Udaipur to the budget-friendly trails of Himachal Pradesh, we've catalogued thousands of destinations across India with detailed cost breakdowns.

Personalized Recommendations

Whether you're a solo backpacker, a family on vacation, or a luxury traveler, our platform customizes suggestions based on your budget and travel style.

🚀 Why We Started

We saw a gap in how India was being explored online—fragmented blogs, outdated information, and the same few destinations recycled over and over. Rryokou was born out of a love for travel, storytelling, and design—to bring reliable, aesthetic, and hyper-local travel guides to every kind of explorer.

Whether you're into backpacking through Himachal, uncovering temples in Andhra, or chasing secret beaches in Karnataka, Rryokou helps you discover places you'd never find on a top-10 list.

✨ Our Mission

To inspire and empower travelers to explore India like never before—through curated guides, honest insights, and personalized tools that make planning your next trip feel effortless and exciting

🧡 Built for Travelers, by Travelers

Founded by passionate travelers who understand the thrill of exploration and the importance of financial planning, rryokou emerged from a simple yet powerful idea: everyone deserves to travel, regardless of their budget constraints.

Our founders experienced firsthand the frustration of planning trips without clear budget visibility. Too many incredible journeys were cut short or never began because of financial uncertainty. That's when we realized the travel industry needed a solution that puts budget transparency at the forefront of trip planning.
