Who we are

The Vacation Days organises group trips in India.

Our line is simple: enjoy your vacation. We plan the roads, rooms and meals, and lay them out day by day, so the people travelling can enjoy the places and each other’s company.

We currently run three itineraries: Wonderland Himachal (Mini), Snowy Escapades: Himachal with Amritsar and Kerala 5N/6D Group Trip. The Himachal trips leave from New Delhi Railway Station; the Kerala trip begins with a pick-up in Kochi.

Enquiries and bookings happen on WhatsApp, so you talk directly with us rather than filling in forms.

What we believe

Why we do this

  • Travel changes perspective

    Travelling widely broadens how you see the world, builds empathy and makes people less quick to judge. That’s the reason we exist.

  • Solo, but not alone

    Many people want the freedom of travelling on their own, with the ease and company of a group. Our trips start at a shared meeting point for exactly that reason.

  • Clear before you commit

    Inclusions, exclusions, booking conditions and terms are written into every itinerary page, so nothing important is hidden in the small print.

On our trips

What the itineraries include

  • Transport for the whole route and for local sightseeing, plus hotel stays (and a houseboat night in Kerala) as listed on each trip.
  • Breakfasts and dinners on the Himachal trips, including langar dinners at Manikaran Sahib and, on the Amritsar trip, at the Golden Temple.
  • An experienced tour guide and a professional photographer on Wonderland Himachal (Mini), and a tour manager on the Kerala group trip.
  • DJ nights and bonfires on the Himachal itineraries.

Each trip page lists exactly what is and isn’t included. Compare trips.
