Questions travellers ask us

Straight answers on permits, fares, fleet and how booking works — before you message.

Every vehicle carries valid commercial registration (HP 01 DA series), an active fitness certificate, and state-border tourist-taxi permits. Founded 2018 at the ISBT taxi stand, Kangra. 200+ guests served, 4.9★ on Google.

What tour packages do you offer?

Seventeen packages across Himachal and J&K — Dharamshala, McLeodganj & Palampur; Manali; Kullu-Manali honeymoon; Shimla-Manali; Dalhousie-Khajjiar; Spiti Valley; Vaishno Devi; Naina Devi & Anandpur Sahib; Bir Billing; Tirthan-Jibhi; Kasol-Manikaran; Lahaul; Senior Citizens Manali; Family Himachal Triangle; Kashmir; Mussoorie-Rishikesh; Triund Trek. Custom holidays too — tell us your days and budget.

What cars are in your fleet?

Five commercial-permit vehicles, picked by group size — Toyota Etios sedan (HP 01 DA 1244, 4 seats) for couples and small families; Toyota Innova Crysta SUV (HP 01 DA 5392, 7 seats) for families with kids and elders; Toyota Innova Hycross (HP 01 DA 0936, 7 seats) for premium and long highway tours; and two Maruti Swift Dzire sedans (HP 01 DA 6216 and HP 01 DA 8142, 4 seats each) for airport transfers and small groups. All AC, hill-tested, cleaned every morning. We pick the right one once you tell us who's travelling.

Is the price per person or per tour?

Per tour. The starting price covers the car, the driver, fuel and tolls for the whole route — plus driver stay and meals. Hotels, your own meals and entry tickets (temple offerings, ropeways, paragliding, helicopter darshan) are separate so you can choose what fits your budget. We help with clean, honest hotel options at every stop.

Where are you based?

ISBT Taxi Stand, Adarsh Colony, Kangra (PIN 176001) — a few minutes from Brajeshwari Mata Mandir. Pickups across Kangra, Dharamshala, Palampur and McLeodganj are easy. For Delhi or Chandigarh starts, we arrange a partner-operated transfer to bring you up to Kangra.

Do you do airport pickups and drops?

Yes — Gaggal (Kangra), Chandigarh, Delhi, Jammu, and Amritsar. We leave early and track flights. If a flight is late, there's no extra charge. Airport transfer can be a stand-alone booking or the start of a longer tour.

How do I book a tour?

Open the booking form on this page, pick a package, fill what you know, and tap Send on WhatsApp. The details land on our phone and we reply with an honest, all-in fare. No payment on this site, no advance until the plan is locked.

What does a Himachal tour package cost?

Short tours (2 days) start from ₹6,000. Three-to-four day packages run ₹6,000–₹10,500. Longer holidays — Shimla-Manali, Spiti circuit, honeymoon trips — go from ₹12,000 to ₹18,250. Final fare depends on car (Etios vs. Crysta vs. Hycross), season and route. We quote first, no surprises after.

Can you customise a tour?

Yes. Most groups mix-and-match — add Dalhousie to a Manali trip, slip a Mata yatra into a family tour, slow a 4-day package down to 6. Tell us what you like and the days you have. We'll plan the route, the stays, and the right car.

Are your tours suitable for senior citizens?

Yes — and we have a dedicated Senior Citizens Special package. For all tours we book ground-floor hotel rooms when possible, keep driving days short, skip high-altitude passes for older travellers, and arrange palki or helicopter at darshans where needed (Vaishno Devi, Kedarnath, Yamunotri). The Innova Crysta or Hycross with push-back seats is our default car for elders.

Which languages do your drivers speak?

All our drivers speak Hindi and Punjabi. English is also available for the booking coordination and on most tours. We make sure you can talk through the route, the stops, and the bill comfortably.

When can I call?

Any hour. Phone or WhatsApp +91 94181 25184. We answer round the clock — early-morning airport pickups and pre-dawn darshan starts are routine.
