Destinations

North India

Kashmir, Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh and the Golden Triangle.

Guests welcomed on arrival for Kashmir

North India is the region of the great classics: Dal Lake and the meadows of Kashmir, the high desert of Ladakh, the hill stations of Himachal, the Char Dham pilgrimage in Uttarakhand, and the Taj Mahal and the ghats of Varanasi on the plains.

Kashmir and Vaishno Devi quotations are issued from Katra, and the northern plains are run with the Noida head office. Seasons decide almost everything here, from snow at Gulmarg to the short summer when the Ladakh passes are open.

Mountains and snow

Kashmir, Ladakh and Himachal from summer meadows to winter snow.

Pilgrimage

Vaishno Devi, Char Dham, Varanasi and Ayodhya.

The classic first trip

Delhi, Agra and Jaipur as the Golden Triangle.
