You’ll be talking to Himanshu, the founder — not a call centre.

The Nainital + Corbett combination is Uttarakhand’s most-loved family holiday for a simple reason: it pairs two completely different worlds — a Victorian-era lake town at 2,000 m and India’s oldest national park — within two hours of each other and of the Kathgodam railhead.

Our version fixes the two things that spoil this trip when it’s bought off an OTA: the safari is a confirmed shared jeep permit arranged in advance (not a “subject to availability” surprise at the gate), and the pace is genuinely family-shaped — one hotel change, no pre-dawn starts except the safari morning itself, and the quieter lakes included alongside the Mall Road staples.

We are a private tour operator based in Pithoragarh, run by Uttarakhand locals.
