We provide services in form of repairing machines....here my question is that in lieu of providing services , our employees do travel to client place , accomodation , fooding etc. so can i charge service tax on service provided+travelling +accomadation . or i can charge service tax on service provided only ?

The underlying Priciple is charge service tax on service provided. Travelling, accomodation is not service. (The exception to this could be... alump sum kind of contract)

If it is purely reimbursement, Proper supportings are given, separate bill for reimbursement is given and you do not collect over and above what you have paid to hotel, restaurant etc then you should not collect service tax on such reimbursement.
