Kurukshetra is a place of great historical and religious importance, revered all over the country for its sacred associations. It was here that the battle of Mahabharta was fought and Lord Krishna preached his Philosophy of "KARMA" as enshrined in the Holy Geeta to Arjuna at Jyotisar. In the very first verse of Bhagwat Gita, Kurukshetra is described as DHARAMKSHETRA i.e. field of righteousness. Mythologically, the name Kurukshetra applied to a circuit of about 48 KOS or about 80 miles (128 Kms) which includes a large number of holy places, temples and tanks connected with the ancient Indian traditions and the Mahabharata War and Kururu, the pious ancestor of Kaurvas and Pandavas.
We specialise in organising tours to chardham destinations (Gangotri, Yamunotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath), Valley of Flowers (and other Himalayan valleys), Kullu Manali, Shimla, Nainital and other less explored and untouched hill stations and towns in northern India. Not only that, we are looking to find and create even more opportunities in the northern Himalayan region, be it wildlife, bio-geography, adventure, religion or local culture.
