  • The trip was fabulous. Shimla is an amazing place with lots to see and do. Our tour operator was excellent. All of their suggestions and recommendations were solid. We loved our hotel and the location. All the tours were high-quality and we experienced no difficulties with pickups. Mr. Nitin was extremely pleasant to work with and truly wanted us to have a fabulous time.

  • We cannot recommend this travel company enough! My husband and I had been wanting to go to India for quite some time but had not done so due to lack of time to plan a worthwhile trip. Booking with this company was exactly what we needed--we told them the types of places and sites we wanted to see and they took care of the rest.

  • I got exactly the vacation I wanted for almost no work and probably cheaper than I could have done it myself. I told this travel company what I wanted and they just did the rest. The hotels and tours/activities were great! Couldn't have asked for more. Great service too they were very responsive and helpful!

Bracing the extreme winter chill, hundreds of devotees across Himachal Pradesh on Monday, 14 January 2019 took dips in rivers to mark Makar Sankranti, a major harvest festival celebrated in various parts of the country.

Large numbers of devotees were seen congregating at Tattapani and Manikaran, home to a sikh shrine in Kullu district, for dips in the Satluj and Parvati rivers respectively. Tattapani and Manikaran are known for their hot springs with high sulphur concentration.

The natural hot springs located along the Satluj in Tattapani disappeared after the construction of the 800 MW Koldam hydroelectric power project executed by the National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC).

Uttarakhand News


Month-long festivities kicked off in the Jaunsar-Bawar, Jaunpur and Rawai region of Uttarakhand with people celebrating the arrival of Maroj Festival on Sunday, 13 January 2019. The festivities begin with families sacrificing goats followed by traditional dance and songs around a bonfire.

A major tradition is preparation and consumption of traditional drinks known as �ghani� and �pakhli� which are made from local grains. Surat Singh Kharkai, who has been promoting the culture of Jaunpur and Jaunsar informs that the resident of Jaunsar-Banwar, Jaunpur and Rawai believe themselves to be descendants of the Pandavas and that this festival is linked to the Mahabharata.

Kharkai explaining the Mahabharata connection said that when Dushasana had tried to disrobe Draupadi, she had pledged that she would not tie her hair till she had washed it with Dushasana�s blood. The sacrifice of the goat is symbolic of the slaying of Dushasana. On this day, women fast and keep their hair unbraided till the sacrifice is done explained Kharkai.

Many residents who are away in the plains return to their native villages to celebrate the much awaited festival. To beat the cold, we consume country made liquor and muton said Harshmani, a resident of village near Nainbagh.
