We live where you're going

About Explore Uttarakhand Holidays

We are a Haridwar-based team planning journeys across Dev Bhoomi — the four dhams, the hill stations, the high passes and the rivers. Not a call centre in another city. The people planning your trip have driven these roads themselves.

Our story

It feels like family, because it is

Explore Uttarakhand Holidays began with a simple frustration. Too many people were arriving in Dev Bhoomi with itineraries written by someone who had never driven the Rudraprayag road in the rain, or waited out weather at Guptkashi, or known which dhaba on the Uttarkashi stretch is worth stopping at.

So we started planning trips the way we would plan them for our own family. That means telling you honestly when a package is wrong for your parents’ health, or when your dates fall in the wrong season, even if it costs us the booking. It means the price we quote is the price you pay.

Today we run pilgrimage circuits, hill station holidays, treks and river trips across both Garhwal and Kumaon. What has not changed is that a real person answers the phone, and that person knows the route you are asking about.

What you can count on

How We Work

Four things we hold to on every trip, whether it is a two-night weekend or a twelve-day yatra.

Local Expertise

We are based in Uttarakhand. We know the roads, the weather patterns, the right stops, and the places most tourists never find.

Honest Pricing

The price we quote is the price you pay. No hidden charges, no last-minute surprises, no awkward conversations halfway up a mountain.

Safety First

Verified drivers, well-maintained vehicles, proper insurance, first-aid kits in every vehicle and 24/7 support for the length of your trip.

Built Around You

Every itinerary can be reshaped. Different dates, a slower pace, an extra rest day, a helicopter instead of a trek. Just say what you need.

We went to Haridwar-Rishikesh last month with Explore Uttarakhand Holidays, our group consisted of 5 people. First of all, I liked their punctuality, the car was ready at the time we gave, we never had to wait. They also took us to Neelkanth Mahadev in Rishikesh, which we did not even think would be in the itinerary, bonus point for them. The evening Aarti of Har Ki Pauri also seemed very divine, they took us to a good place by taking us at the right time considering the crowd. We had to change the hotel room once because the first room turned out to be a bit small as per the family's requirement, but they immediately gave us another room without much discussion. Everything else was on time and organized. We had small children with us, so the driver took care of them too, stopping mid-way when necessary. Overall, we enjoyed the trip and will plan another one with them.

We went as a group of 8 for a Haridwar-Rishikesh spiritual trip with them and it turned out to be a memorable one. Ganga Aarti at Har ki Pauri was the highlight, they made sure we reached early to get a good spot, which made a big difference. Stays were clean and close to the ghats, so we didn't waste time commuting. Managing a group our size isn't easy but they coordinated well, only issue was one of our cabs got delayed on the second day which pushed our temple visit a bit late. Food was decent, nothing fancy but good enough. Overall a peaceful trip, well organised, would go with them again for our next spiritual trip.

We did our Char Dham Yatra last month with Explore Uttarakhand Holidays and overall had a good experience. The team is professional, understands what you need, and never rushed us through the trip. Stays were comfortable and well managed throughout. One issue was with a couple of food places, quality wasn't great initially, but once we pointed it out they fixed it quickly. Not a 100% perfect trip, but for something as long as the Char Dham Yatra, they handled it well. Would recommend them if you're planning this yatra.

Beyond the itinerary

Responsible Travel

Local hiring

Our drivers, guides and trek staff are from the districts we operate in. Tourism money stays in the hills.

Local stays and kitchens

We book family-run guesthouses and homestays wherever the standard allows, not only chain properties.

Carry it back down

Every trek group carries its own waste out. No exceptions, at any altitude.

Respect at the shrines

We brief every group on temple and ashram etiquette before arrival, because these are places of worship first.
